The Endless Plain Of Fortune Lyrics by John Cale

The Endless Plain Of Fortune Lyrics

    Old taylor said
    Old taylor meant to cry -- oh my
    Field marshall meant
    Field marshall went away again
    Watch out below; the tides
    Lean heavily like wine
    We are all innocent in spite of you and me

    Then martha went
    Yes martha went away again
    Down in transvaal
    Where crocodiles and men fight on
    They would have played all night
    Even with loaded dice
    It's gold that eats the heart away and leaves
    The bones -- to dry

    Segovia watched
    Gendarmerie and all that's all
    The radio man
    Amanda did you choose your tune
    She walked away in time
    She walked a crooked line
    So gracefully she turned her head
    And smiled -- away
