Victorian Squid
Feb. 24th, 2004 09:49 pmА вот текст замечательной песни Робина Хичкока, Victorian Squid:
Victorian squid is a delight
For all the family because
It's greasy and hot.
When you've had lots,
Then you'll want more
There's old H.G. Wells lying in bed
With his new housekeeper with
Hot squid by their side
Glowing with pride
Flushed with exhaustion
Victorian lungs
Victorian skin
Victorian tongues
Victorian sin
Victorian parks
Victorian moans
Victorians darkness
Victorian squid down on the beach
Is an embarrassment to
Respectable girls
Walking with pearls
And their fiances
"Oh, Edward my love, is that a squid?"
"Yes, I fear so, my pet, but
Pray, leave it alone,
Let us go home
And take some cocoa"
Victorian arms
Victorian legs
Victorian charms
Victorian eggs
Victorian boys
Victorian girls
Victorian darkness
Every night our voices meet in darkness
Clicking feet on hollow streets the
Fanlight falls across the city
Onto me and Mistress Kitty
Pray that someone breaches her
Between the walnut and the fur to
Where she keeps her real secret hid:
She's a Victorian Squid!
Робин Хичкок -- гений, если кто не знает. Он очень любит Сида Баррета и Мервина Пика и, вообще, сказал недавно в одном интервью, что Мервин Пик это типа Сид Баррет от английской литературы. Что, впрочем, так и есть.
Мервин Пик -- наше всё. Читайте "Горменгаст" все. Чтоб не быть гадом.
