ALT-J lyrics : "Taro"

Indochina, Capa jumps Jeep, two feet creep up the road
To photo, to record meat lumps and war,
They advance as does his chance ? very yellow white flash.

A violent wrench grips mass, rips light, tears limbs like rags,
Burst so high finally Capa lands, mine is a watery pit.
Painless with immense distance

From medic from colleague, friend, enemy, foe, him five yards from his leg,
From you Taro.


Do not spray into eyes ? I have sprayed you into my eyes.

3:10 pm, Capa pends death, quivers, last rattles, last chokes

All colours and cares glaze to grey, shrivelled and stricken to dots,
Left hand grasps what the body grasps not ? le photographe est mort.
3.1415, alive no longer my amour, faded for home May of '54

Doors open like arms my love, painless with a great closeness
To Capa, to Capa Capa dark after nothing, re-united with his leg and with you, Taro.


Do not spray into eyes ? I have sprayed you into my eyes.
Hey Taro!
