Jason And The Argonauts Songtext / Lyric

JASON AND THE ARGONAUTS


There may be no golden fleece
But human riches I'll release
Oh, my head is spinning like the world
And it's filled with beasts I've seen
Let me put my bag down
And I'll tell you it all right from the start
Like the scarlet woman
Who would pick on the boys she thought were green
And the two faced man who made a hobby of
breaking his wife's heart
Seems the more I heard from the foam to gravel
As the nets unravel
All exotic fish I find like Jason and the Argonauts
There may be no golden fleece
But human riches I'll release

I was in a land where men force women to
hide their facial features
Facial features
And here in the West it's the same
But they're using make-up veils
I've seen acts of every shade of terrible crime from
men-like creatures
And I've had the breath of liars blowing me off course in my sails
Seems the more I heard from the foam to gravel
As the nets unravel
All exotic fish I find like Jason and the Argonauts
There may be no golden fleece
But human riches I'll release

I have watched the manimals go buying
Buying shoes, buying sweets, buying knives
I have watched the manimals and cried buying time
Buying ends to other people's lives

Jason and the Argonauts
There may be no golden fleece
But human riches I'll release
(Andy Partridge)
