Bonnie Prince Billy A Minor Place
I've been to a minor place
And I can say I like it's face
If I am gone and with no trace
I will be in a minor place
Well I put the shoes in line
Separate the women mine
As we do what we do fine
So victorious, so benign
I've been to a minor place
And I can say I like it's face
If I am gone and with no trace
I will be in a minor place
Only take the weather warm
And the job that does me harm
The scars of last year's storm
Rest like maggots on my arm
I've been to a minor place
And I can say I like it's face
If I am gone and with no trace
I will be in a minor place
Thank you man if for the thought
That all my loving can be bought
Was wisely in your gullet caught
Before my loyalty you sought
I've been to a minor place
And I can say I like it's face
If I am gone and with no trace
I will be in a minor place
O it's not a desert nor a web
Nor a tomb where I lay dead
Minor in a sound alone
Yes a clear commanding tone
Singing from my little point
And aching in my every joint
I thank the world it will anoint me
If I show it how I hold it
