In Defense Of Poetry
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
" A sudden blow: the great wings beating still "
GET DRUNK AND HURT SOMEBODY
" Busy old fool, unruly son "
GET DRUNK AND HURT SOMEBODY
" The sea is calm tonight. The tide is full. "
GET DRUNK AND HURT SOMEBODY
" But do not let us quarrel anymore "
GET DRUNK AND HURT SOMEBODY
" A slumber did my spirit steal "
GET DRUNK AND HURT SOMEBODY
" Fair is foul and foul is fair "
GET DRUNK AND HURT SOMEBODY
" His flashing eyes! His floating hair! "
GET DRUNK AND HURT SOMEBODY
" So we'll go no more a-roving "
GET DRUNK AND HURT SOMEBODY
" Lay your sleeping head, my love Human on my faithless arm "
GET DRUNK AND HURT SOMEBODY
" The trees are in their autumn beauty "
GET DRUNK AND HURT SOMEBODY
Swiftly, behind the pub;
Expertly, in a pool of blood;
Convulsively, the boots go in:
Now it groans, now there's silence;
There's poetry in violence.
" The winter evening settles down "
GET DRUNK AND HURT SOMEBODY
" A snake came to my water trough "
GET DRUNK AND HURT SOMEBODY
" Tiger! Tiger! Burning bright! "
GET DRUNK AND HURT SOMEBODY
