Distant Doubloon Lyrics
[Verse 1: Kyle Falconer]
Blind Pew he covers you with colours of the night you'll never meet him in the carnival
Taggada takes the Jakeys for a ride
And Long John Silver is one of the few that Robbie Stevenson Could champion even though the man was fake made up the kind you'd never expect to shoot one of their inmates
[Verse 2]
The horizontal stripes will lead you to the west
The vertical hill town huns will leave your own back with your tannadiction chest
The weakest character in this chapter loves dairy
Shadows never shone
I never met a pretty creature who would crumble at the outcome of a cow
How come you would tell me farmers never bow
Metaphors are easy just to talk about it, growing up with spacers I can live without
[Chorus]
Fifteen holes is never worth a stolen bike
Just waiting for a different cunt to say what to write about
There will never be a colour in the sea
If you don't have no eyes to see
So please don't dwell upon your wooden leg your limp is boring me
[Verse 2]
You see your wallpaper was red polluted with lesbian green
Red was never your colour it was never your team
Blue it never even crossed your mind
Because you never flew a flight
Golden treasure left you blind
[Chorus]
Fifteen holes is never worth a stolen bike
Just waiting for a different cunt to say what to write about
There will never be a colour in the sea
If you don't have no eyes to see
So please don't dwell upon your wooden leg your fucking limp is boring me
[Instrumental Outro]
