The Orange Monkey
作词 : Polly Jean Harvey
作曲 : Polly Jean Harvey
A restlessness took hold my brain
And questions
I could not hold back
An orange monkey on a chain
On a bleak uneven track
Told me that to understand
You must travel back time
I took a plane to a forein land
And said
I'll write down what I find
Beneath a mountain's jagged shelves
Cloacked with snow and shadows sheer
Plates tipped up upon themselves
The pain of fifty million years
And mules and goats were running wild
A happy chaos carried on
And old men and young boys smiled
And worked until the day was gone
Packs of sandy-coloured dogs
Walked streets that looked like building sites
But piles of rocks and dust and smog
Could not hold block out a different light
When I returned
I ran to meet
The monkey but his face had changed
He stood before me on two feet
The track was now a motorway
