lirik lagu orbit (salmon of alaska) – the blinders
[verse 1]
the boy gazes all about
he is the centre of orbit
he is at the centre of town
he is at the centre of the trees
and the granite buildings
and the 1960’s concrete bridges and the factories
but they were just making electric fridges
he is at the centre of nature
and not just the seagulls that spiral
but the salmon of alaska
[chorus 1]
and they spin
spin, spin, spin
spin, spin
until the world stops going around
[verse 2]
the king cobra is hypnotised
and the dogs they lay with dumbness in their eyes
he is everybody
he is he, and he is she
and he is a teacher
and the poet on the street
all looking up
all feeling at one but completely out of touch
with the world
[verse 3]
yes we are the neighbours that will never meet
in a world that says f-ck continuity
and f-ck you
and f-ck me
and f-ck the salmon of alaska
[chorus 2]
and i’m gonna spin
spin, spin, spin
until the world stops spinning around
yes, i will spin
until my wall comes crashing down
[verse 4]
so the boy considers his prospects
he considers his route
but sees a world of walls and cameras and censored floors
he feels at the centre of a world
which does not want him to be
which does not want to hear him speak
which does not want him to succeed
[verse 5]
all the while he is at the centre of a generation
with memories so short
memories which they choose to abort
because it is easier to forget
than to contemplate on what we saw
yes, yes it is much easier to forget
than to march our feet up to their doors
the doors of those who stand on inherited lands
and declared that you can not have
[bridge]
who knows
it is his to have
it is hers to have
it is ours to have
[chorus 3]
and we’re gonna spin
spin, spin, spin
until the world stops going around
and we’re gonna spin
spin, spin, spin
until the walls fall down
[outro]
so the boy starts to dream
dream the most dangerous of dreams
dream of a world in which he, she, me
and the salmon of alaska
are free
free from the power of the man
and of those that say that you can not have
free of those who sit in their golden baths
free of those who have the last godd-mn laugh
