Song information

Title: The Fat Lady Of Limbourgh
Artist: Brian Eno
Album: Taking Tiger Mountain

Well i rang up pantucci spoke to lucia

Gave them all they needed to know

If affairs are proceeding as we're expecting

Soon enough the weak spots will show

I assume you understand that we have options on your time

And will ditch you in the harbour if we must

But if it all works out nicely, you'll get the bonus you deserve

From doctors we trust.





The fat lady of limbourgh

Looked at the samples that we sent

And furrowed her brow

You would never believe that

She'd tasted royalty and fame

If you saw her now

But her sense of taste is such that she'll distinguish with her tongue

The subtleties a spectrograph would miss

And announce her decision while demanding her reward

A jelly fish kiss.





Now we checked out this duck quack

Who laid a big egg oh so black it shone just like gold.

And the kids from the city finding it pretty

Took it home and there it was sold

It was changing hands for weeks

Till someone left it by their fire

And it melted to a puddle on the floor

For it was only a candle a roman scandal

Oh oh and now it's a pool.





That's what we're paid for

That's what we're paid for

That's what we're paid for here.
