lirik lagu barry andrews - virgin of the ladder
i really dig your chiaroscuro
it gives me something i can misconstrue
these sickly martyrs make me feel alright:
they give me something i can live up to
i guess this is where the magic happens:
an epiphany of stone and light?
blue-collar… of the madonna
to bring in something from the building site
o my virgin of the ladder
will you be with me when i start to climb?
gravity i’m overcoming
nothing doing when it comes to time
in this year without a summer
when i lost everything i thought was mine
all the pain and the sheeting rain
and i’m sorry baby that was the last of the wine
and i know i can change
but there’s only so much a ladder will do
d’you want an acolyte
that is so scared of heights?
rung by rung i’m climbing up to you
o virgin of the ladder
grant me only that i do not fall
towards the centre of the earth
ah keep that ladder up against the wall
oh virgin of the ladder
what a pretty gal you are
maybe a slow climbdown into the squalid town
light a candle on the way to the bar
it’s laboured as an image
overused as a metaphor
for spiritual ascension
(blake and jacob did it long before)
but you are mother of the word incarnate
but what good are words when you want deeds?
– you need practical kit
when you’re deep in the sh-t
and that ladder’s gonna meet my needs
o my virgin of the ladder
will you be with me when i start to climb?
gravity i’m overcoming
nothing doing when it comes to time
