Testo Façade: No. 20, Fox-Trot - Orchestra of the Swan
Testo della canzone Façade: No. 20, Fox-Trot (Orchestra of the Swan), tratta dall'album Sir William Walton: A Centenary Celebration
Old as a fork, tall as a stork
Before the honeyed fruits of dawn
Were ripe, would walk and stalk with a gun
The rain-coloured sun
Among the pleasant feathered corn
The unicorn has torn forlorn
The stock-faced sheep sit and sleep
Periwinktous William and Mary weep
Sally, Mary, Matthew
What's the matter? Why cry?
The huntsman and the rain-coloured sun and I sigh
Oh, the nurserymaid Meg
With a leg like a peg
Chased the feathered wrens like hens
And when they laid an egg
In the sheepskin meadows where
The serene King James would steer
Horse and hounds, then he
From the shade of a tree
Picked it up as foil to foil for nursery
Said the mourners
In the corn-tower strain
Feathered tall as a crane
And whistling down the feathered rain
Old Noah goes again
An old dull gnome
With a head like a poem
Seeing the world as a bear
Being played by the feathered air
Meg would beg three of these
For the nursery tees
Of Japheth, Shem and Ham
She gave it underneath the trees
Where the boiling water, the boiling water hissed
Like the goose king's feathered daughter, feathered daughter kissed
Pot and pan and copper kettle
Put upon their proper mettle
Lest the flood, the flood, the flood
Begin again through these
Again through these
