Under, over, through

A few southern vegetable forms on the

mountains of Borneo
Gm Gm
Under, over, through Donkey, peacock, Goose
... and on like this
In the mouth of the river strange scene
It is everything in flames
The sky with lightning and the water, luminous
A strange scene, it is under, over, through
Six weeks old Henrietta smiled for the first time
Tail, habits, proof, instinct that moves
Emma saw him smile not only with lips but eyes
Erasmus grab a spoon, Europe, hides wool
Mr Peacock and Captain Beaufort, endemic, alpine groves
Breadfruit, cinnamon, tunes
Tonight it's blowing thick bodies of spray whirled across the bay
Whatever might have been the cause of the retreat
Columbia Livia, great ages through
Course of days tumblers, Jacobin's
[ The Knife Lyrics are found on www.dapslyrics.com ]
Beak shapes, skeletal traits runts and carriers
Wooden hexagonal cage, pouters and fantails
Tail feathers at what age?
(The delight of once again being home)
Grey and white spotted
(The delight of once again being home)
Markings in making
(The delight of once again being home)
My great amusement
Behind land house a gentle cooing
Behind land house the offspring's moving
Behind land house a gentle cooing
The delight of once again being home
...
enjoy
