Blenheim

from Truffles of Love by Naevus

/

lyrics

A cliff-top romance summoning up every well-used recourse. This is the palace, this is the park, this is the way, this is the way. Shake off sheepish fetters to return to the fine country house. Pay or display. I’ll take your choice.

There is a human body face-down in the roses
There is a crime beneath every fence
Drive me in your car, drive me in your car
Sink or sing the swan song, sink or sing the swan song
Survey the fine estate, survey the fine estate
It must be here somewhere, it must be here somewhere

So few people for so many rooms. Are you sure that this is the way it was supposed to be? There must be a draught. The invasion of art nouveau has left us wanting. A touch of class. Oh, Commissioner, you are spoiling us.

There is a human body face-down in the roses
There is a crime beneath every fence
Drive me in your car, drive me in your car
Sink or sing the swan song, sink or sing the swan song
Survey the fine estate, survey the fine estate
It must be here somewhere, it must be here somewhere

Can you hear it? Rain is sinking through soil. Feel the brightness seeping or sapping. Proximity to anything is an interesting phenomenon, every time.

There is a human body face-down in the roses
There is a crime beneath every fence
Survey the fine estate, survey the fine estate
It must be here somewhere

Sometimes there is something. Doubt has the least innocuous power.

Survey the fine estate, survey the fine estate
It must be here somewhere

There will be an investigation and we all dread it.

Survey the fine estate, survey the fine estate
It must be here somewhere

Without the grounds: intruder. This is not a story.

Survey the fine estate, survey the fine estate
It must be here somewhere

A final heading: misdeeds. Clench.
