Walls and Roses lyrics
by Robert Wyatt
[Verse 1]
You arrive with daggered hands
Anonymous spongy fields
A headless bull in transit
With a pregnant nest of dimes
[Instrumental Interlude]
[Verse 2]
Anonymous spongy fields
To the front, walls and roses
With a pregnant nest of dimes
Behind you, a shrinking man
[Instrumental Interlude]
[Verse 3]
To the front, walls and roses
Wary of the hiccupped copse
Behind you, a shrinking man
Subletting a swarm of lives
[Instrumental Interlude]
[Verse 4]
Wary of the hiccupped copse
A headless bull in transit
Subletting a swarm of lives
You arrive with daggered hands
