lyrics

Sit back easy, in nature’s chair
The moles black out in this common land
The countryside is a sea of turf
But they’re all deaf hills to my one command

Lend a claw to this bastion of despair
Scratch away the verdigris
I’m not you but you’re still me
Signpost-less in corridor country

To dream-cast Europe the writer came
A diamond mine in his osprey quill
When thirty interveners called
He sat back easy but he couldn’t sit still

Its a steady death keeping us all in black
Our company loves misery
I’m not you but you’re still me
More or less in corridor country

A twice told tale won’t fail to have the ring of truth
It earned its own nobility
It follows you but will not me
A natural maze this corridor country
