Rainbow Curve (2010 Digital Remaster) - Kevin Coyne

Down at the Rainbow Curve

Men in overalls were fighting their wives

Fighting and wrestling

Some of them used knives

Plasticine molded knives made out of coal dust

I an aspirant man of property

Watched their doings and sayings and said:

This is nothing

You see that strangled me

I couldn't see what they'd seen

What they known although

I know and I knew all the time

Down at the Rainbow Curve

There were dresses made out of silk

Cheap and awful like goldfish in a bowl

Eyes that didn't mean a thing

Burning flames of fury beneath sausages in the pan

Eyes that said to me:

Prove to me that you're a man

And I didn't know nothing no oh

I'll put on my other voice and complain:

You don't know me

No no you never knew me

You never knew part or find out my name

But I was right and you were wrong

So I suppose we just carry on

Appreciating other each other from a distance now

You like anything I like nothing now

Get back into your hole where you come from

That's what they say to me

Get back into your hole where you come from

That's what they say to me

Get back into your hole where you come from

That's what they say to me

Get back into your hole where you come from

But no so explicitly
