What I heard

 What I heard

When the lock was broken, 

Just like the rainbow that snapped in the sky

I heard the light was broken

I heard the boiler snapped 

I heard

Your heart was spoilin'

And the Judas wire was tapped

Give me back my Nazarine

Give me back my map

I'm lost in all this Halloween

And the kettle flex is wrapped

Talkin' of the corridors

The volcanoes

Opening their doors

Talkin' of the frog prince

I overheard the sailor wince

And cry in the lap

Of the crone

Who talked of ages come and gone

And how he shouted for his mum

I heard the wailing in the park

Of Jews whose news

Could paper a shark

And all the arabs stole the dark

And light the match

That glowed the spark

I left them there to smoulder

and bark

Like dogs at war who

Soldier and lark

All clouds above 

And rivers below

The colours run

From the rainbow
