Blenheim Shots Lyrics by Swell Maps

....in “Jane From Occupied Europe”

1980

[Verse 1]
This isn't another Lagonda, this isn't a forage day
And Blenheim in an alleyway, it could never really work
Castle and adventure with pictures shot away
The window's closed in to help the rain in here
[Verse 2]
And I live here without a painting on the wall
And the suitcase keeps the books up away from the lights
Because the shards of your canton never caught us up
And never really saw and thought about the ford
[Verse 3]
And the door's been bricked up and the room is a mess
And weld exchanged salves even before we met
And they expect everything across the lines of lace
And no one frigate ever caught us up
[Verse 4]
The wind swept through Africa, missing the falls
The Buick from the battlefield led us from the front
And you had your face mirrored by the special shots
And I'd been told about it, but never really knew
[Chorus]
Safe in this encampment until they get the hand
Sleeping in a cave beats any kind of tree
[Verse 5]
And cavalry could threaten, but I'll never draw them out
And I prefer the forest, but you prefer to dive
They're all in league with nomads, real carbine friends
Who'll pull another casket from the frame the girl knew
[Chorus]
Safe in this encampment until they get the hand
Sleeping in a cave beats any kind of tree
