i'm a farmer in the city

more variations on the léon bonvin getty farmer

(sounds like dirt vii)

do i hear
21 21 21

i'll give you
21 21 21

this night you
are mistaken

i'm a farmer
in the city

dark farm
houses
against the
sky

every night
i must wonder why

harness on the
left nail keeps
wrinkling wrinkling

then higher above
me - e e so o
e e e so o o

can't go by
a man from
rio

go by
a man from
vigo

can't go by
a man from
ostia

hey ninetto

remember that
dream

we talked about
it
so many times

do i hear
21 21 21

i'll give you
21 21 21

and if i'm not
mistaken
we can search
from farm to
farm

dark farm houses
against our eyes

every night i
must realize

harness on the
left nail

keeps withering
and withering

then higher above
me - e e so o
e e e so o o

can't go by
a man in
this shirt

go by
a man in
that shirt

can't go by
a man with brain
grass

go by his long
long eye
gas

and i used
to be a
citizen

and i never felt
the pressure

i knew nothing
of the horses

nothing of the
thresher

take me with
you

it was the
journey of
a life

cossacks are

'a moving aria for a vanishing style of mind'
'a noble debut trackling vertiginous demands'
'has absence ever sounded so eloquent so sad i doubt it?
with an arm across the torso
face on the nails
with an arm across the torso
face on the pale monkey nails
'touching in the shattered lives it unearths'
'a nocturne filled with glorious ideas'
'a chilling exploration of erotic consumption'
with an arm across the torso
face on the nails
with an arm across the torso
face on the pale monkey nails
cossacks are charging in
charging into fields of white roses
cossacks are charging in
charging into fields of white roses
"that's a nice suit"
"that's a swanky suit"
"been a pope like no other"
"i'm looking for a good cowboy"
'a rare outcry makes you lead a larger life'
'you could easily picture this in the current top ten'
'medieval savagery calculated cruelty
'it's hard to pick the worst moment'
'it's hard to pick the worst moment'
with an arm across the torso
face on the nails
with an arm across the torso
