The Fatima Mansions - Brunceling's Song lyrics

James jesus angleton sells sunlamps door to door In this so-called peacetime, even spooks fight to stay alive I don't much like him, but i sit and mind his car He says, "brunceling, where to now? This global suburb's ours..." They said "adapt," and, sometime back, i think i snapped But it's no big deal, i would not trade my luck I have no system now, i just drift until i'm found; "brunceling, hand me down a new slogan", now: Penury has set us free! Nothing, nothing, nothing is true An a**a**in's bullet which has lodged in my neck Picks up radio kabul and it bores me to d**h-- Nothing, nothing, nothing is true "i know khomeini, john wilkes booth and the jackson 5," The old man roared as i poured him into his bed, "why, they control the bourbon runs from bialystok to brunei! Brunceling, you're like me," he said "they fear us cause we accept no blame And we're too f**ing old to change. Too many hatreds for making amends. Too many favours for friends of dead friends. Oh, their mumbled thanks came cheap to them. Too many marksmen on the knolls, Too many alibis always to hold, I'm a sad old joke; forget i spoke..." Open the vein, open the vein, Open the vein, wider the vein Let in more rain, let in more rain Sever the phoneline, sever the head, Seeing in white, green, yellow and red I think he's dead, i think he's dead Nothing, nothing, nothing is true Old friends now reject me for misjudgements i've made Some are in power, some in flyover graves Nothing, nothing, nothing is true And tell me, stiff, whose little baby were you?
