The Fat Lady Of Limbourgh Lyrics by Brian Eno

The Fat Lady Of Limbourgh Lyrics

    Well i rang up pantucci spoke to lucia
    Gave them all they needed to know
    If affairs are proceeding as we're expecting
    Soon enough the weak spots will show
    I assume you understand that we have options on your time
    And will ditch you in the harbour if we must
    But if it all works out nicely, you'll get the bonus you deserve
    From doctors we trust.


    The fat lady of limbourgh
    Looked at the samples that we sent
    And furrowed her brow
    You would never believe that
    She'd tasted royalty and fame
    If you saw her now
    But her sense of taste is such that she'll distinguish with her tongue
    The subtleties a spectrograph would miss
    And announce her decision while demanding her reward
    A jelly fish kiss.


    Now we checked out this duck quack
    Who laid a big egg oh so black it shone just like gold.
    And the kids from the city finding it pretty
    Took it home and there it was sold
    It was changing hands for weeks
    Till someone left it by their fire
    And it melted to a puddle on the floor
    For it was only a candle a roman scandal
    Oh oh and now it's a pool.


    That's what we're paid for
    That's what we're paid for
    That's what we're paid for here.
