The Endless Plain Of Fortune Lyrics - Paris 1919 - John Cale

Old Taylor said 

Old Taylor meant to cry -- oh my 

Field Marshall meant 

Field Marshall went away again 

Watch out below; the tides 

Lean heavily like wine 

We are all innocent in spite of you and me 

Then Martha went 

Yes Martha went away again 

Down in Transvaal 

Where Crocodiles and men fight on 

They would have played all night 

Even with loaded dice 

It's gold that eats the heart away and leaves 

The bones -- to dry

Segovia watched 

Gendarmerie and all that's all 

The radio man 

Amanda did you choose your tune 

She walked away in time 

She walked a crooked line 

So gracefully she turned her head 

And smiled -- away
