Taro Lyrics

Taro - Alt-J

Lyrics by:Joe Newman/Gus Unger-Hamilton/Gwilym Sainsbury/Thom Green

Composed by:Joe Newman/Gus Unger-Hamilton/Gwilym Sainsbury/Thom Green

Indo-china Capa jumps jeep two feet creep up the road

To photo to record meat lumps and war

They advance as does his chance

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

 

Do not spray into eyes

I have sprayed you into my eyes

Three ten

Pm Capa pends death quivers last rattles last chokes

All colors and cares glaze to grey

Shriveled and stricken to dots

The left hand grasps what the body grasps not

Le photographie est mort

Three point one four one five 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

Taro

Do not spray into eyes

I have sprayed you into my eyes

 

Hey Taro
