Testo Ammonia Tree - Shriekback
Testo della canzone Ammonia Tree (Shriekback), tratta dall'album Without Real String or Fish
When the giants meet the colossi
Makes them all look normal size
They still caused a bunch of mayhem
On the island of the flies
And what the population want now
Is not expedient or wise
And no manners to El Pulpo
The undisputed lord of lies
A political solution
Proves quite difficult to see
As the rebel forces gather
Under the ammonia tree
On that snowy night in Kreuzberg
When we searched but couldn't find
Any echo of the Bowie tune
Or what the Russians left behind
The Teutonic plates had shifted
But didn't seem to cross your mind
I always liked your Weltanschauung
Better than I do mine
It was simpler when there wasn't war
Back in Burlington-on-the-Squibee
Alison, Olga and Holly
Under the ammonia tree
When your own head bores you
With its bloody awful song
Wasn't pretty, wasn't clever
And didn't last for very long
Was like looking in the mirror
With all the striplights on
Might be your Stendhalian glory
If you can only wait that long
Is it holy introspection
Or wrestling futility
In the quest for truth and beauty
Under the ammonia tree
Learned the lesson early on
The truth is boring and takes too long
Learned the lesson long ago
The truth is not really what I wanted to know
Learned the lesson back in the day
The truth is so strong it'll blow you away
Learned the lesson later on
What's true remains when the pleasure is gone
