Can't Weld A Body(Preview Track) - Karine Polwart[00:00:00]
You crafted and caressed her with a careful hand[00:00:13]
But the lady didn't understand[00:00:20]
And you riveted and plated her till morning[00:00:26]
But with a coil or a careless spark[00:00:33]
Or a tumble in the dark[00:00:37]
Shell leave her mark upon you without warning[00:00:40]
You can float a boat of steel upon the ocean[00:00:46]
You can fix it up with nuts and bolts and toil[00:00:53]
But you can't weld a body when it's broken no[00:01:01]
While the lady she's as fair as Desdemona[00:01:15]
She swallowed you up just like Jonah[00:01:21]
And there the air inside her belly ailed you[00:01:28]
And no-one saw you fall[00:01:35]
And they did not hear your call[00:01:38]
And your breath it faltered just before it failed you[00:01:42]
You can float a boat of steel upon the ocean[00:01:48]
You can fix it up with nuts and bolts and toil[00:01:55]
But you can't weld a body when it's broken no[00:02:03]
On a cruiser that was fitted by your father[00:02:23]
You anchored in San Carlos harbour[00:02:30]
But the lady at the helm she was not for turning[00:02:37]
And in your bell bottoms blue[00:02:44]
In April 82[00:02:47]
You bid adieu and watched all you knew burning[00:02:51]
You can float a boat of steel upon the ocean[00:02:57]
You can fix it up with nuts and bolts and toil[00:03:04]
But you can't weld a body when it's broken[00:03:12]
You can float a boat of steel upon the ocean[00:03:18]
You can fix it up with nuts and bolts and toil[00:03:25]
But you can't weld a body when it's broke no no[00:03:32]
