Jason and the Argonauts lyrics

Artist  : XTC 
Song : Jason and the Argonauts
 


(Andy Partridge)

There may be no golden
fleece,
But human riches I'll
release

Oh, my head is spinning like the
world and it's filled with beasts I've
seen,
Let me put my bag down and I'll tell you
it all right from the start,
Like the scarlet
woman who would pick on the boys she thought were
green,
And the two faced man who made a hobby
of breaking his wife's heart.

Seems the
more I travel,
From the foam to gravel,
As
the nets unravel,
All exotic fish I find like
Jason and the Argonauts

There may be no
golden fleece,
But human riches I'll
release

I was in a land where men force
women to hide their facial features,
And here
in the west it's just the same but they're using
make-up veils.
I've seen acts of every shade
of terrible crime from man-like creatures,
And
I've had the breath of liars blowing me off course
in my sails.

Seems the more I
travel,
From the foam to gravel,
As the
nets unravel,
All exotic fish I find like
Jason and the Argonauts

There may be no
golden fleece,
But human riches I'll
release.

I have watched the manimals go
by
Buying shoes, buying sweets, buying
knives.
I have watched the manimals and
cried
Buying time, buying ends to other
peoples lives.

Jason and the
Argonauts

There may be no golden
fleece,
But human riches I'll
release.

Jason and the
Argonauts

There may be no golden
fleece,
But human riches I'll release.
