Swing Lo Magellan Lyrics


Last night all my attention
squinting westward at the sunset
with a map and a compass
When a man reached up, said somethingThere, against the sky, a ball of light
too invisible to give itself to the naked eyeOn the shore, people yelling
In their eyes a great reflection
In the griddle where they're positioned
Unconcerned with intuitionThere could never be not a sympathy
from that wilderness
so let it be arrested
Swing low, oh Magellan
9 by 6 or 8 by 7
Post a sentinel at the border
of what you attempt, what you ignore
I saw my friend in a pool of light
all drowned in doubt and shame
and I knew that I had lost my sight

Enjoy the lyrics !!!

Unknown Mortal Orchestra first dropped into the world in late 2010 as a bandcamp account carrying a single called ‘Ffunny Ffrends’. ‘Ffunny Ffrends’ was everything you imagined it might be – alien beatnik pop music that echoed 60s psychedelia and krautrock minimalism with just a hint of gentle weirdness that suggested its roots might equally lie in the verdant indie of the equally distant New Zealand scene.
