The Fat Lady Of Limbourg - Brian Eno
Tuning: Am, E A D G B E
[Verse 1]
Well, I rang u
p Pantucci, sp
oke to Lu-chi,
I gave them al
l They needed
to know.
If affairs are
proceeding As
we're expecti
ng,
Soon enough th
e weak spots w
ill show.
I assume you u
nderstand that
we have optio
ns on your tim
e,
And will ditch
you in the ha
rbour if we mu
st:
But if it all
works out nice
ly, You'll get
the bonus you
deserve
From doctors w
e trust.
[Verse 2]
The Fat Lady o
f Limbourg Loo
ked at the sam
ples that we s
ent
And furrowed h
er brow.
You would neve
r believe that
She'd tasted
royalty and fa
me
If you saw her
now.
But her sense
of taste is su
ch that she'll
distinguish w
ith her tongue
The subtleties
a spectrograp
h would miss,
And announce h
er decision, W
hile demanding
her reward:
The jellyfish
kiss.
[Verse 3]
Now we checked
out this duck
quack Who lai
d a big egg, o
h so black
It shone just
like gold.
And the kids f
rom the city,
Finding it pre
tty, took it h
ome,
And there it w
as sold.
It was changin
g hands for we
eks till someo
ne left it by
their fire
And it melted
to a puddle on
the floor:
For it was onl
y a candle, a
Roman scandal
oh oh oh,
Now it's a poo
l.
[Outro]
That's wha
t we're paid f
or
That's wha
t we're paid f
or
That's wha
t we're paid f
or here.
