Seven Deadly Finns — текст песни (Brian Eno)

Oh oh the french girls with the string of pearls

Think its such a fucking shame

That the local boys with their country joys

Never make them daisy chains

Theyre swapping disappointing incidents

While at the docks another ship pulls in

And suddenly the door breaks down (ooh la la)

Its the seven deadly finns





Oh oh oh soldiers and sailors

Have all been here before

Gigolos and governments

Have stumbled through that door

Because they need all those french girls with all their kiss curls

And powder in their guns

And the seven finns with their deadly grins

Tend to measure beauty in tuns.





The first is a freak with a masochistic streak

And the second is a kitten up a tree

The third is a flirt with an awful print skirt

And the fourth is pretending to be me

The fifth wears a mac and never turns his back

The sixth never shows his eyes

But the seventh deadly finn is so tall and slim

He shoulda never been with those guys.





Although varietys the spice of life

A steady rhythm is the source

Simplicitys the crucial thing

Systemically of course (work it all out like norbert wiener)

So if those french girls say to you

would you like your ashes piped ?

Youll have to take their word for it

Its the only thing to take...
