alt-J > An Awesome Wave Taro
Lyrics
Indochina, Capa jumps Jeep
Two feet creep up the road
To photo, to record
Meat lumps and war,
They advance as does his chance
Oooh, oooh
Very yellow white flash.
A violent wrench grips mass
Rips light, tears limbs like rags,
Burst so high finally Capa lands.
Mine is a watery pit.
Painless with immense distance
From medic, from colleague, friend,
Enemy, foe, him five yards from his leg,
From you Taro.
Oooh, oooh
Do not spray into eyes
I have sprayed you into my eyes.
3:10 pm, Capa pends death,
Quivers, last rattles, last chokes
All colours and cares glaze to grey
Shrivelled and stricken to dots,
Left hand grasps
What the body grasps not
Ooh, oooh
Le photographe est mort.
3.1415, alive no longer my amour
Faded for home May of '54
Doors open like arms my love
Painless with a great closeness
To Capa, to Capa Capa dark after nothing,
Re-united with his leg and with you, Taro.
Do not spray into eyes
I have sprayed you into my eyes.
Hey Taro!
