Yes. So it's like you said.
If you search hard enough
you'll find two-storey houses
with earthenware pots down at the gate
a little bit away from the sea
at bargain prices.
And in the mountains it's beautiful
with trees and rivers
with a woman and a goat you're okay.
It's just that we decided
to change the world
which you can't do with the countryside.
We've said this.
We look for arms
we knew
that everyone dies
but some deaths are heavy
because they choose their way of death themselves.
And we're determined
a death for a death
because we loved life more.
I know there are endless shorelines
and trees going right into the sea
and love is a serious thing.
But first off we gotta finish with the pigs.
You came here and smoke
staring at the wooden floor.
You were vague and remote
blushing like girls do
not a word about all this
and I didn't say anything either
I only said "Keep in touch"
and you said to me, "Hey you, yeah"
and ran off forgetting your cigarets.
I gave a poke
like I've seen
you guys do
and sat there stabbing
the packet with my finger again and again.
They weren't even my brand "Hey you".
