Bonnie “Prince” Billy
New Whaling
Oh once I had a partner but now that is done
I made awful actions that I thought were fun
Here years have come on, and I live like a king
Like a monarch who rules over all that he sings
Over none will come near me
And fewer will stay back
They know what I've done
And where my fate lies
I started in old world
Have come down to new
And all my actions and my behaviors, and my beliefs
They come with me too
There had been a time when
The world knew my name
They may know it somewhere still
But I ain't the same
The barefoot, the stupid, the cute and the shod
Have bowed and been broken by meor by god
There's no rest for the wicked
And less for the good
No fear for the mongrels
That do what we should
I ended her, ended him, ended it all
I ended her, ended him, ended it all
These are my conclusions from under the sun
Once I had a partner, but now that is done
(So far and here we are.)
