Jon Langford - Constanz
I go to Switzerland
Let all the zombies come
And tear this place apart
I was looking forward to my life
And all the things I could be
Can't you picture me sailing on the bolded sea
Here's the face of truth
Terrible truth beyond the imagination
They built hell on earth
And we knew it was happening
The country is not stupid
Even though it's silent
It still has eyes and ears
It just can't find its mouth
A fail extended through the years
The fog rolls over Constanz
Facеs and figures like shadows mergе
Race to the surface then disappear
I die toddy
You die tomorrow
Let all the zombies come
And tear this place apart
Down by the harbor
There's a statue of a woman
Fifty feet tall
A skirt split to her waist
In one hand there's a pope
In the other there's a key
Revolving very slowly
Above the mist
You wake up in the morning and see that huge reflection
Snatch up a gun and fire twice into the mirror
The country is not stupid even though its silent
It still has eyes and ears
It just can't find its mouth
You go to London
And I'll go to Canada
Let all the zombies come
And tear this place apart

Jon Langford - Encounter with a Selkie off Llangranog
Afloat upon the bearded sea two black eyes stare back at me And sink into the grey and green a conversation lost between The surface and the flow of the Gulf Stream I drifted out
