Gallows Humour

from The Dirt and the Sky by Cathouse Canary

/

about

Violin written and performed by Simon Despoja

lyrics

And they’re hanging by the back teeth
All those sullen, silky liars.
And they spoke and spoke, said nothing,
Now their jaws are getting tired.
Driving for the ocean
Where we’ll say it all in detail
While the rain breaks sun from Sunday
And creates these other people.

When the gallows humour takes us,
Well we’ll step right off the harbour
And I’ll laugh myself the way down
While I’m breathing in the water,
Singing: Devil may give a shit.
When we died you went that way
And I went this
And all my thoughts
Just drifted off.

Thinkin’ dim,
Shoutin’ loud,
Stitch us in.
Tear us out.

Devil may give a shit,
But I, I don’t know.
I don’t know if you will.
I don’t know if you will.

You may give a shit,
But I, I don’t know.
I don’t think that I will.
I don’t think that I will.
