Swansea Lyrics


If you wanna come on down
Down with your bones so white
And watch while the freight trains pound
Into the wild wild nightHow I would love to gnaw
Gnaw on your bones so white
And watch as the freight trains paw
Paw at the wild wild nightAll these ghost towns
Wreathed in old loam
Assateague knee-
Deep in seafoam
Ho, swansea!
Buttonwillow!
Lagunitas!
Ho, calico!And all these beastly bungalows
Stare distend like endless toads
Endlessly hop down the road
Borne by wind we southward blowAnd yonder, wild and blue
The wild blue yonder looms

'Til we are wracked with rheum
By roads, by songs entombedAnd all we wanna do
Is chew and chew and chewDear one
Drive onWhen all we wanna do
Is chew and chew and chewAnd if you wanna come on down
Down with your bones so white
And watch the freight trains pound
Into the wild wild nightHow I would love to gnaw
To gnaw on your bones so-o white
And watch while the freight trains paw
Paw at the wild wild nightPaw at the wild wild night
Paw at the wild wild night

Enjoy the lyrics !!!

Joanna Newsom (born January 18, 1982) started taking piano lessons at a very early age and played for a couple of years, but switched to the harp at seven. Her approach to the harp, from the percussive aspects of her playing to her chord changes, was also influenced by West African and Venezuelan harp music, which she began studying at a folk music camp she attended in her early teens. At the same time, she also listened to more vocal-based folk, punk, and jazz like Karen Dalton, Texas Gladden, Patti Smith, and Billie Holiday.
