culling of the fold
Singer:decemberists, the
boy. he's a wicked disgrace
and he said it to your face
you better cut him up boy. take by the teeth
get him down on his knees
with your hands all shaking
that'll teach him how to take it
boy. ply her heart with gold and silver. take your sweetheart down to the river. dash her on the paving stones
it may break your heart to break her bones
but someone's got to do the culling. of the fold. cut him up
girl. really cut him up girl
girl. you can take him in a stitch
leave his limbs all naked
that'll teach him how to take it
better cut him up girl. ply her heart with gold and silver. take your sweetheart down to the river. dash her on the paving stones
it may break your heart to break her bones
but someone's got to do the culling. of the fold. listen up boy
and listen up girl. it's a shallow little trench
and it's giving off a stench. it's a shallow little world. feeling down in the face
could you use a little space?
and the in-laws cackle. better cut him up boy
girl. ply her heart with gold and silver. take your sweetheart down to the river. dash her on the paving stones
it may break your heart to break her bones
but someone's got to do the culling. of the fold. oh
the culling. of the fold.
