Charlemagne lyrics

Artist  : John Cale 
Song : Charlemagne



 Send "Charlemagne" Ringtone to your Cell 

 The manager is waiting to be paid
Along with priests and deacons of his court
A quartermaster, quite a man, a mistress of the
line
Has found a last cent avenue of pain

A mardi gras just passed this way a while ago
Making hungry people of us all
Along the mississippi you can hear the fiddlers
play
Fandangos and boleros to the lord

Many times, many tried,
Simple stories are the best
Keep in mind, the wishful kind,
Don’t wanna be like all the rest.

My uncle was a vicar in the big parade
Selling fountain pens that never write
San sebastian gamblers never cheat nor lie
They know good fences make good neighbours

I wish I knew what time of year it was what kind
of people will be there when gruesome tales of
two cities ran running all the way father might
have heard his prayers were answered inhibitions
a
E way from home consider now, consider then
before the deed is done the blood of consolation
runs so true many times, many tried, simple
stories are the best keep in mind, the wishful
kind, don’
Na be like all the rest.
