Ed Harcourt - Parliament of Rooks lyrics

Fold my clothes neatly Set the table slowly Sweep the floor gently Clock is ticking softly They are here in the morning They're in the evening Wondering when it's time The choir of marauders Highest beckoning order No point in trying to hide It's just a parliament of rooks Sitting on the fence, waiting for the world It's just a parliament of rooks I'm not ready to move from this world to the next one Ready to move from this world to the next one Summon my soul to the end of the setting sun A parliament of rooks will move you on Looking at your body Free from any burden Don't know where I'm going Certainly not to heaven They are here in the morning They're in the evening Wondering when it's time The choir of marauders Highest beckoning order No point in trying to hide It's just a parliament of rooks Sitting on the fence, waiting for the world It's just a parliament of rooks I'm not ready to move from this world to the next one Ready to move from this world to the next one Summon my soul to the end of the setting sun A parliament of rooks will move you on Here they come Here they come Here they come Here they come Here they come Here they come Here they come Here they come Here they come Here they come Here they come Here they come Here they come Here they come Here they come Here they come Here they come Here they come
