All I Survey
Robert Warrington
Thanks to Subtersonic for the tambourine samples. Except for a couple of bits and pieces, all other samples can be traced back to this site.
If I was master of all I survey
It’s untenable that you’d give a monkeys either way
And if I put my village on the map
It’s untenable you’d even look up from your laptop
And if I came knocking at your door
It’s untenable it would open any wider than before
And if I wasn’t hidden in plain sight
It’s untenable we’d ever be more than two strangers in the night
And if I tried to spin a golden thread
It’s untenable you wouldn’t break it with a shake of your head
And if I took a hammer to your wall
It’s untenable I’d even leave a mark on it at all
And if I took a mountain for a walk
It’s untenable you’d even move the curtain to look
And if I laid the stars out at your feet
It’s untenable you’d do any more than cross over the street
And if I was on fire in the hold
It’s untenable you’d try to put me out with something long and cold
And if I was hit by lightning striking twice
It’s untenable you wouldn’t ride it like a bolt of jagged ice
And if I made the world as good as new
It’s untenable I’d ever mean anything to you
And if I drew your picture to a T
It’s untenable that you’d ever give a damn about me
If I was master of all I survey
It’s untenable that you’d give a monkeys either way
And if I put my village on the map
It’s untenable you’d even look up from your laptop
And if I came knocking at your door
It’s untenable it would open any wider than before
And if I wasn’t hidden in plain sight
