Marc Almond - Gyp the Blood lyrics

[Marc Almond - Gyp the Blood lyrics]

And here I sit a cowardly boy
Adventure only dreams

A captain of a pirate ship
A million crimson themes

I wish to be content you see
To take the softer seat to summon gut
To play the slut my bass drum for to beat

Hey!

Gyp the blood gyp the blood
Anchor in my heart
Skull and crossbones to the breeze
A heave ho to depart

But it happened that there came a ghost
To visit on my soul

I coloured him from picture books


With eyes as rich as gold

A ghost who would embody
All my sickly frame would be

A hero and a challenger
Of heart and spirit free

Hey!

Gyp the blood gyp the blood
Anchor of my heart
Skull and crossbones to the breeze
A heave ho to depart

And gyp the blood and I retook
The world upon our backs

And we drank from dawn to dusk
How the warm breeze took our drags

For we had the reins on europe we
Had our anger like a flame

The balls to fight the system
And the nerve to win the game

Gyp the blood gyp the blood
Anchor of my heart
Skull and crossbones to the breeze
A heave ho to depart

So purity i would spit upon
All saintly sights be damned

For it seems correct to kill and steal
To be a proper man

I find myself full up with hate
To lose it on the world

An eye for deeds of darker shade
And a lip so wickedly curled

A skull encrusted captains hat
Fell down upon my brow

I gathered all my hopes and schemes
All wisdom for to know

And rip the shirts i wore around
My shoulders like a robe

Dark ermine trim and tainted grin
Grim warnings to forbode

And all the love within me
Would be churned for something sour
My angels tongue ripped from my throat
And tortured by the hour

For I have no time to learn
For love wounds me with it's touch
May the gods take me a screaming
May the gods take me a screaming

Gyp the blood gyp the blood
Anchor of my heart
Skull and crossbones to the breeze
A heave ho to depart

May the gods take me a screaming
May the gods take me a screaming
