Third Uncle Lyrics by Brian Eno

Eno (Original Motion Picture Soundtrack)

0

[Verse 1]
There are tins, there was pork
There are legs, there are sharks
There was John, there are cliffs
There was Mother, there's a poker
There was you
Then there was you

[Guitar Solo]

[Verse 2]
There are scenes, there are blues
There are boots, there are shoes
There are Turks, there are fools
They're in lockers, they're in schools
There was you
Then there was you

[Verse 3]
I'll burn my fingers, burn my toes
Burn my uncle, burn his books
Burn his shoes, cook the leather
Put it on me, does it fit
Me or you?
It looks tight on you

[Instrumental Break]

[Verse 3]
I'll burn my fingers, burn my toes
Burn my uncle, burn his books
Burn his shoes, cook the leather
Put it on me, does it fit
Me or you?
It looks tight on you

[Verse 1]
There are tins, there was pork
There are legs, there are sharks
There was John, there are cliffs
There was Mother, there's a poker
There was you
Then there was you

[Verse 2]
There are scenes, there are blues
There are boots, there are shoes
There are Turks, there are fools
They're in lockers, they're in schools
There was you
Then there was you

[Verse 3]
I'll burn my fingers, burn my toes
Burn my uncle, burn his books
Burn his shoes, cook the leather
Put it on me, does it fit
Me or you?
It looks tight on you

[Verse 1]
There are tins, there was pork
There are legs, there are sharks
There was John, there are cliffs
There was Mother, there's a poker
There was you
Then there was you

[Verse 2]
There are scenes, there are blues
There are boots, there are shoes
There are Turks, there are fools
They're in lockers, they're in schools
There was you...
