Paroles de Eleventh Earl Of Mar
Genesis
The sun had been up for a couple of hours
Covered the ground with a layer of gold.
Spirits were high and the raining had stopped
The larder was low, but boy that wasn't all.
Eleventh Earl of Mar
Couldn't get them very far.
Daddy! Oh Daddy, you promised.
Out on the road in the direction of Perth
Backwards and forwards in a circle they went.
Found a city half open and ready to greet
The conquering heroes, with blisters on their feet.
Eleventh Earl of Mar
Somehow got them all this far.
Daddy! You promised, you promised.
See the Stewart all dressed up
He's got eyes in the back of his head.
Who came in a cockleshell boat
That could only just float
Couldn't even lift a sword.
Dressed too fine and smelling of wine.
Daddy, you've got to go!
Here comes the bishop all dressed up
He's gonna bless you if you're ready to pay.
One wave of his funny old stick
There's a band of light across your eyes.
Waited a week still they hadn't appeared
That glorious timing that everyone feared.
So they're riding along on the crest of a wave
They're headed for London, and that will be their grave.
Eleventh Earl of Mar
Well, he couldn't get them down that far.
Daddy! I'm waiting, I'm waiting.
Time to go to bed now
Never seems too keen
To be a guest now
In a house of dreams
Flying from a hillside
Beckoning the trees
A sailboat's awning
Mimicking the breeze
I'm fighting gravity falling
My Daddy won't let them get me
A voice screams seems to be calling
The face turns features are burning.
Daddy, you've got to go!
See the fifteen going by
Tell the Lairds and the Lords
They're running backwards today
And once again you stand alone.
Bury your memories; bury your friends.
Leave it alone for a year or two
Till the stories go hazy and the legends come true
Then do it again.
Some things never end.
Eleventh Earl of Mar
He won't be going very far.
You promised, you promised, you promised...
DADDY!
