Spanish Galleons (live)

about

It’s not often that bands refer to Native Americans in their songs. It’s also very seldom when bands refer to the English pronunciation of Las Vegas. It’s like we’re saying Native Americans are cool, but so is English. This final BC song of the night for the Dontbelong Radio show was dedicated to Tim Styles, one of the tallest Native Americans we know. A lot of people don’t know this little fact about Styles, but when he was in the military, he fell some 800 ft. from a C130 and his parachute malfunctioned. His chute never opened and he hit the ground from 800 fucking feet and survived. Pat that motherfucker on the back next time you see him, but not too hard cause he injured it in the fall.

lyrics

If all the Spanish Galleons
were burnt across
the horizon

And in the meadows
a lizard sang
I'm home again
but nothing's changed

And all they ever found
was a feather
by the water

It feels like tent
a voice of wind
the trail won't lead me
back through here again

Man
We kept our ears to the land
And
the door disappeared in the floor

Man
the head was stuffed in a can
And
It was buried
on the edge of the sand

If all the desperate carrion
ripped off the flesh
of child and man
and in the middle
of where and when
a life begins
but twelve will end

And all they ever found
was a feather
by the water

It feels like tent
a voice of wind
the trail won't lead us
back through here again

Man
We kept our ears to the land
And
the door disappeared in the floor

Man
the head was stuffed in a can
And
It was buried
on the edge of the sand
