lyrics to Polly's latest new songs

[12fingered]

Just under it goes ??there hanging in the wire

i hear "just unburied ghosts are there, hanging in the wire"

[Nathan]

I also hear "just unburied ghosts are there, hanging in the wire"

Also: "blades of grass" not plates.

[Black Hearted Love]

The Words That Maketh Murder's what I know so far

I’ve seen and done things I want to forget

I’ve seen soldiers fall like lumps of meat
Arms and legs where in the trees
longing to see a woman's face
I’ve seen and done things I want to forget
a corporal whose nerves were shot

What if I take my problem to the United Nations?

[Shadowboxer]

I’ve seen and done things I want to forget
I’ve seen soldiers fall like lumps of meat
Blown and shot out beyond belief
Arms and legs were in the trees

I’ve seen and done things I want to forget
Coming from an unearthly place
longing to see a woman's face
Instead of the words that gather pace

The words that maketh murder
these, these, these are the words
The words that maketh murder
these, these, these are the words
The words that maketh murder
these, these, these are the words
Murder...

These, these, these are the words
The words that maketh murder

I’ve seen and done things I want to forget
I've seen a corporal whose nerves were shot
Climbing behind the (?) sun
I've seen flies swarming everyone
Soldiers fell like lumps of meat

These are the words, the words are these.

That linger in the skunk
Flies swarming everyone
Over the whole summit peak
Flesh quivering in the heat
(?) for something else again
Our fear cannot explain
The words that make, the words that make, murder

What if I take my problem to the United Nations?

[Black Hearted Love]

I’ve seen and done things I want to forget
I’ve seen soldiers fall like lumps of meat
Blown and shot out beyond belief
Arms and legs were in the trees

I’ve seen and done things I want to forget
Coming from an unearthly place
longing to see a woman's face
Instead of the words that gather pace

The words that maketh murder
these, these, these are the words
The words that maketh murder
these, these, these are the words
The words that maketh murder
these, these, these are the words
Murder...

These, these, these are the words
The words that maketh murder

I’ve seen and done things I want to forget
I've seen a corporal whose nerves were shot
Climbing behind the fiece God? sun
I've seen flies swarming everyone
Soldiers fell like lumps of meat

These are the words, the words are these.

That linger in the skunk
Flies swarming everyone
Over the whole summit peak
Flesh quivering in the heat
this for something else to gain?
Our fear cannot explain
The words that make, the words that make, murder

What if I take my problem to the United Nations?

There're the only other words I can make out, not sure if they're right lol

The Guns Called Me Back Again

Shadows Lengthening.
95 steps I'm taking.
with every step I'm longing
for the luck to keep on living.

The drum calls me back again
to my senses,
filled with shame.

I wish this night
would never end,
and on no-man's-land
the sun would not rise again.

There was laughing, & I could not laugh.
There was singing, & I could not sing.
The big guns called me back again.

I hear voices singing.
I Hear the guns beginning.
Far off, far away
I hear the guns again.

these were printed in the 7" single.. i haven't got a record player though so i cant listen to it lol
