Brundisium Lyrics - Singles - Augie March

They married, a dandy and a back alley tough 

On the foreshore while kids in the needling rough 

Stayed low, in and laid till they'd had enough 

Of the somersaulting hot roll of revolting September 

By thickets beneath the hot halo above 

The plague bodies bathed in their talentless love 

It's hot in the town with its back to the sea 

O darling, don't put your veil over me 

From thinking a life was about them 

When, long, they were the thorn in its side 

The hard men got plucked and by measures were gone 

At pride it plucked and out, out it pried 

Where's the shame in a gentle man? 

Stand him next to me 

It's hot in the town with its back to the sea 

O darling, don't put your veil over me 

Honey, we'll go without, honey, grow old and thin 

I love you like I love my own skin 

From thinking a life was about them but stranger 

The soft women lowed and came in and were in 

To swoon, "O welcome hot united sailor" 

Welcome from unsteady decks and from danger 

Did you see a new sun in the sky? 

The sun is blood and blood is a lie 

It's hot in the town with its back to the sea 

O darling, don't put your veil over me 

Honey, we'll go without, honey grow old and thin 

I love you like I love my own skin 

O my bonny lies over the ocean 

My bonny grows old and thin 

I love her like I love my own skin
