The Parley Lyrics - Artist : Divine Comedy, The
A little older they may be but we're in numbers greater
Let's have a parley first and we can always fight them later "A parley? What's the use in that?" The houseboat man's got Swallows Let's go and make him give it back, we'll parley you tomorrow Parley, parley Maybe we can talk this through With a parley, a parley Talk with me, I'll talk with you Why that unfriendly native, hah! It wasn't him what did it We made off with your puny craft and in our harbour hid it It's not your harbour and besides it's not much good to you now The harbour lies behind our lines so warships, we've got two now Parley, parley Maybe we can talk this through With a parley, a parley Talk with me, I'll talk with you Your arrows of green feather no doubt given to you by That rotter from the houseboat so you must be on his side We took them as our trophies, aye, we wrenched them from his grip He just used them to clean his pipe so we pinched them from his ship Let's have a parley, a parley Maybe we can talk this through With a parley, a parley Talk with me, I'll talk with you It seems we're all on the same side so what's the good in fighting? Our purposes are intertwined, we're better off uniting But tell me, why did you come to our island anyway? "Our island? This is our camp, this is our island, we've been coming here for years We marked the harbour, built the fireplace with our own blood, sweat and tears" Oh... parley then Parley, parley Maybe we can talk this through With a parley, a parley Talk with me, I'll talk with you Parley, parley Maybe we can talk this through With a parley, a parley Talk with me, I'll talk with you (talk with you) |
