Funeral Tango - Scott Walker[00:00:00]
[00:00:02]
Oh I can see them now[00:00:06]
Clutching a hankerchief[00:00:09]
And blowing me a kiss[00:00:11]
Discreetly asking how[00:00:13]
How came he died so young[00:00:18]
Or was he very old[00:00:20]
Is the body still warm[00:00:22]
Or is it already cold[00:00:24]
All doors are open wide[00:00:28]
They grope around inside[00:00:30]
At my desk my drawers my trunk[00:00:32]
There's nothing left to hide[00:00:35]
Some love letters are there[00:00:37]
And an old photograph[00:00:39]
They've laid my poor soul bare[00:00:41]
And now all they do is laugh[00:00:43]
[00:00:44]
Oh I can see them all[00:00:48]
So formal and so stiff[00:00:51]
Like a seargant at arms[00:00:53]
At a policeman's ball[00:00:55]
And everybody's pushing[00:00:59]
To be the first in line[00:01:01]
Their hearts upon their sleeves[00:01:04]
Like a ten cent valentine[00:01:05]
The old women are there[00:01:10]
Too old to give a damn[00:01:12]
They've brought along the kids[00:01:14]
Who don't know who I am[00:01:16]
They're thinking about[00:01:18]
The price of my funeral bouquet[00:01:20]
What they're thinking isn't nice[00:01:22]
For now they'll have to pay[00:01:25]
[00:01:26]
Oh I see all of you[00:01:29]
All of my phoney friends[00:01:31]
Who can't wait for it ends[00:01:33]
Who can't wait till it's through[00:01:35]
Oh I see all of you[00:01:39]
You've been laughing all these years[00:01:41]
Now all that you have left[00:01:43]
Are a few crocodile tears[00:01:45]
Ah you don't even know[00:01:50]
That you're entering your hell[00:01:51]
As you leave my cemetary[00:01:53]
You think you're doing well[00:01:55]
With that one who's at your side[00:01:58]
You're as proud as you can be[00:02:00]
Ah she's going to make you cry[00:02:02]
But not the way you cried for me[00:02:04]
[00:02:06]
Oh I can see me now[00:02:09]
So cold and so alone[00:02:13]
As the flowers slowly die[00:02:15]
In my field of little bones[00:02:17]
Oh I can see me now[00:02:21]
I can see me at the end[00:02:23]
Of this voyage that I/m on[00:02:25]
Without a love without a friend[00:02:27]
Now all this that I see[00:02:32]
Is not what I deserve[00:02:33]
They really have a nerve[00:02:35]
To say these things to me[00:02:37]
No girls just bread and water[00:02:40]
And your money you must save[00:02:42]
For there'll be nothing left for us[00:02:43]
When you're dead and in your grave[00:02:45]
