Liberty Belle Songtext

von Super Furry Animals

Liberty Belle is ringing out
Across the sea
And everyone sings along
Though she's singing way out of key

From the shores of Galilee
To the runways of Anglesey

You know we're digging to hell
Drowning in our oil wells
As the magpies fly from Tallahassee
To the sky

Memory Lane forgot her way
After all this time
And she never learned from her mistakes
And all the crime

That caused the gulf of Misery
That's separating you from me

You know we're digging to hell
Right down in our oil wells
As the seagulls fly from Abu Dhabi
To the sky

The birds still sing their melodies
Songs of love and food and trees
So little do they know
Yet their days are numbered so
Alarms are ringing in the trees:

You know we're digging to hell
Drowning in our oil wells
As the ashes fly from New York City
Past the grimy clouds above New Jersey
Past the kids who'd like to smoke like chimneys
To the sky
