The Jazz Butcher - Land lyrics

plants as high as trees all around your knees you're gigantic and wonderful crane your neck to see a world as it should be and it's all yours grazing and at night no light no light upon the earth at night the only light comes from the stars outside of geography outside any century we can name your world and at night no light no light upon the earth at night the only light comes from the stars stars uncountable so beautiful so beautiful so beautiful we'll never know (ace squiggly synth noises) Look! There's some pterodactyls! They're brilliant, covered in snow-white fur. Don't let them see you though or they'll scoop you up and carry you off to a gory fate. ( This is probably my favourite verse of lyrics in the j.b. canon. Almost poetic. And the only give-away is a TINY MARKING on its rear. ) and up there in the sky! Orion! one day Osiris will come and show a world of two-legged apes what they can do. but they could never belong here. and they're going to make a thousand points of light upon the earth but you know the only light comes from the stars stars uncountable so beautiful we'll never know... A world without people in the land before time. (repeat)
