Lyrics to Third Uncle.

[KNIGHT@MAINE (Michael Knight)]

Someone asked for the lyrics to 'Third Uncle' by Brian Eno. Here they are:

Third Uncle

  There are tins
  There was pork
  There are legs
  There are sharks
  There was John
  There are cliffs
  There was mother
  There's a poker
  There was you
  And then there was you.

  There are scenes
  There are blues
  There are boots
  There are shoes
  There are Turks
  There are fools
  They're in lockers
  They're in schools
  There in you
  And there was you.

  Burn my fingers
  Burn my toes
  Burn my uncle
  Burn his books
  Burn his shoes
  Cook the leather
  Put it on me
  Does it fit me
  Or you?
  It looks tight on you.


  --From the book 'More Dark Than Shark' by Eno and Mills.
