Twenty one to One

from Clear Fell by Fay Brotherhood

/

about

Twenty one years old.
Lamenting a general lack of success in the male department.
I can report that the general lack of success in the male department continues at 36.

lyrics

Firmness in flux by belissimo,
Turgid standard bearer in blossom,
To rain, to snow and to war,
To show, to go and low,

Flaying jealousy in hidden treason,
To a partner in war and unbidden trust,
The end it is nigh when
The questions commence, commencing posession,
Commencing the war,

Firmness in doubt by this treatment,
Committed this night on a shot,
And trust based on lust,
May we start this quiz on a kiss.

Hope is treading the floor boards to danger,
In temptation of a gift,
And a promise that may prove a lie,
And the replay of the sane, glad of a service to you or myself,
In a race against the cold nagging of doubt.

Show me the day when I learn to let go,
When some apathy works for me,
Show me the reason I have to go far, for it matters now to me,
Hold up my mettle the hostile aware - a moral boundary,
Tear down the crippling need for to please,
And walk into the fire.

When the old play calls the curtain call late,
I have a reason - Judgement to define,

A confidential preference makes the war no more easy to bear,
And I've never yet spoke out for war, I've no faculty in me to fight,
And I'm wearing these scars and the magpies on my shoulders in good heart -well in part anyway, if it's always the same
Tell me what am I lacking at twenty one to one,
To maybe....

At twenty one, to one three maybe, now show me the game,
At twenty one, to one three maybe to fail in the game.
At twenty one, to one three maybe I have to kill to win,
At twenty one, to one three maybe now show me the way.
