lirik lagu rufus wainwright - die muschel von margate
[verse 1]
in margate on the promenade
where the tourists sit when it’s fine
there stood an old man selling souvenirs
with a big tin sh~ll as his sign
that old man had a pail
of painted sh~lls for sale
and everyone could hear him yell
sh~ll! sh~ll! sh~ll!
[chorus]
seash~lls from margate
act like a charm
seash~lls with gold decorations
seash~lls from margate
cannot do you harm
keep the memory warm
reminding you of happy vacations
[verse 2]
in margate on the promenade
there’s a stink to raise the dead
where once a pail of seash~lls stood
there’s an oil tank now instead
that old man had a son who found
a fortune buried underground
and now the son prefers to sell
sh~ll! sh~ll! sh~ll!
[chorus]
seash~lls from margate
act like a charm
seash~lls with gold decorations
seash~lls from margate
cannot do you harm
keep the memory warm
responding to your great expectations
[verse 3]
and as the oil began to flow
to that seaside town of ours
they hanged a lot of bolsheviks
from the baku drilling towers
they showed that they were loyal
by turning blood to oil
a thousand corpses make a well–
sh~ll! sh~ll! sh~ll!
[chorus]
seash~lls from margate
act like a charm
seash~lls with gold decorations
seash~lls from margate
cannot do you harm
keep the memory warm
recording mass exterminations
[verse 4]
and as the summer sun shone bright
on that seaside town of ours
the oil began to catch alight
and no land remained unscarred
the whole world was aflame
but oil was our country’s name
and all the rest can go to h~ll
sh~ll! sh~ll! sh~ll!
[chorus]
seash~lls from margate
act like a charm
seash~lls with gold decorations
seash~lls from margate
cannot do you harm
not until we arm
for the final confrontation!
