The Black Sheep, Maca Roco Ray / Republic Of Sark

from Singer On The Rain Day (A Candle In The Sun) by The Mighty Northumberland

lyrics

When the instinct materializes
What direction will rabbit take
He ran so far with no disguises
Until he thought his will might break
But it was not so, at least now
When he wrestles with his fear
It drives him to hop to run a vow
Is made and try to hold on to it

The black sheep, maca roco ray
Nobody doubts his colour changes
In the night with no one else around
His heart climbs on the mountain ranges

In the village, maca roco ray
There are some who find your ways disturbing
You keep to yourself some days
And walk and play no loves perturbing

In the village, maca roco ray
There is one who leads and those who follow
Yet where one wanders where one stays
Is guided by one bright apollo

We share one sun, maca roco ray,
But you (lie) are like alone subversive
In useless weakness all your days
But the community observes it

You fool no one, maroco ray
The sinner and the lazy sin
The waste of grass and wool and shelter
To see you struggle makes me grin

=\---====-----------\\\\--=\===---

The same win the same winner
Wins in one field loses another
Steady for a second fence
Believe the true wish
Of the island nation
Integration, independence
Republic of Sark
Flags unfurled

It makes me want
To remember this world
And reside in it again
A cold intellectual unthinking male
Alongside his overemotional unfeeling female
Can this be so
Of course not no
Usually one being one, they might imbalance the other
But it doesn't mean that either one
Doesn't exist.
It made me want to read
My book and not forget about it
And I know I always do
For a little while.
The punctuation is important
In the sense that it helps readers follow
Though it sometimes takes
The pleasant significance of the ambiguity
The beautiful witch with the moral compass.
(It's the new Shins album)
I'm just a simple man with an honest heart
But I'm not sure I'm the one who can invent
What it is supposed to be the lyrical shelf
I put five books up here and slanted their covers
Because I had a recollection
And I invented a game where the pieces were covered
And the rules unknown;
Yeah but I play like I know them
Obviously.

There's no second blessing
For the culture that was first received
And second dissected;
But there is a a way
And it's never detected
Except when it's being understood.
And that not only intellectually
Very often
Well that would be nice,
For emotions are true
At the very depths it's who?
The subtlety is too
Impressive to grasp.
I'm afraid I'll slide under that spell again ń
