Black Eye/burnt Thumb Lyrics - Pip Paine (pay The £5000 You Owe) - Metronomy

Everything is still not a chicken not a body 

Just an awful sicken silence roarin' in my brain 

And the fog of death deepens and lies upon the land 

An ould wan rolls over on her back 

The grass stains still green upon her chin 

I can still hear her keenin' and screamin' in the wind 

God's curse upon you, Lord John Russell 

May your black hearted soul rot in hell 

There's no love left on earth and God is dead in heaven 

In these dark and deadly days of Black 47 

God's curse upon you, Lord Trevalian 

May your great Queen Victoria rot in hell 

'Til England and its empire answer before heaven 

For the crimes they committed in Black 47 

Paudie says "Come on now 

Don't look back, she's not livin', she's a phantom 

And she'll curse us if we look into her eyes" 

Oh God, I think I'm dyin' the fever's in my brain 

For can't you see that pack of children up ahead? 

The beards of old men sproutin' from their chins 

Can't you hear their screams of hunger on the wind? 

God's curse upon you, Lord John Russell 

May your black hearted soul rot in hell 

There's no love left on earth and God is dead in heaven 

In these dark and deadly days of Black 47 

God's curse upon you, Lord Trevalian 

May your great Queen Victoria rot in hell 

'Til England and its empire answer under heaven 

For the crimes they committed in Black 47 

[Incomprehensible] 

Darlin' Paudie save me, I think I'm sinkin' fast, me blood is boilin' 

Don't let me die here in a ditch 

If the hunger doesn't get me the fever surely will 

Paudie took me up and threw me across his shoulders 

He nursed me every day 'til we reached Amerikay 

Screamin' and shoutin' like two madmen at the wind 

God's curse upon you, Lord John Russell 

May your black hearted soul rot in hell 

There's no love left on earth, God is dead in heaven 

In the dark and deadly days of Black 47 

God's curse upon you, Lord Trevalian 

May your great Queen Victoria rot in hell 

'Til England and its empire answer under heaven 

For the crimes they committed in Black 47 

[Incomprehensible]
