lirik lagu selling rope (swan dive to estuary) – ludlow
[verse 1]
as i swan dive into the estuary
the birds do not flinch at my fall
they perch in the rafters, before, during, after
they do not notice me at all
as i float down into the estuary
wind cases my body in cool
i smell petrol fumes, see the smoke rise in plumes
the earth is one big fireball
the earth is one big fireball
[chorus]
anecdote, lie, my own alibi
i’ve been telling jokes
piled notes high, my own alibi
i’ve been selling ropе
[verse 2]
as i break the film of the еstuary
the seaweed submerges my form
no passing cars stop, not a single jaw drops
as my wallet and keys sink before
a splash all i left in the world
[chorus]
anecdote, lie, my own alibi
i’ve been telling jokes
piled notes high, my own alibi
i’ve been selling rope
[verse 3]
once held a magpie in the palm of my hand
and the blood in our veins flowed faster, as i’d planned
got a heart full of love and a head full of more
but a fist full of threads from the seams
and i saw a smile in that beak
[chorus]
anecdote, lie, my own alibi
i’ve been telling jokes
piled notes high, my own alibi
i’ve been selling rope
[bridge]
oh, i was a bird right then, one day i will be again
i’ve been telling jokes while selling rope to you
oh, i was a bird right then, one day i will be again
i’ve been telling jokes while selling rope to you
[instrumental break]
[bridge]
oh, i was a bird right then, one day i will be again
i’ve been telling jokes while selling rope to you
oh, i was a bird right then, one day i will be again
i’ve been telling jokes while selling rope to you
[outro]
there’s no ticker*tape, no pearly gates
no carnival and no parade
just one, one for sorrow
there’s no ticker*tape, no pearly gates
no carnival and no parade
just one, one for sorrow
