Typhoon from POOLS by SLOOP

talk is cheap i am poor
when i speak please ignore
the words i say heed the tone
gnashing teeth broken bones

it had to stop i spent my love
love’s a choice we make up (yeah)

look at jacob
look at jacob walk
sun bearing down
sweat on his brow

a hook in his hand
call him less of a man
he is gritting his teeth
doing what he can

to stave off the sleep
counting the sheep
puts his head on a rock
he is wearing his socks

angels bend rungs
they click their tongues
jacob goes to war
jacob’s on the floor

seven years gone
now seven years more
tuesdays and so slow
his muscles are sore

look at jacob
look at jacob walk
he walks with a cane
has pills for the pain
work of a razor
with a cudgel, eating carrots
taking shots in the dark
in the dark, dark, dark, dark

look at jacob
look at jacob walk

she does the taxes
and i buy the milk
she cleans up messes
and i make the spills
we’ll work it out if it takes all night
take some time to resolve our fights

she likes the mountains
i like the spruce
she drinks the coffee
and i like the juice

we’ll work it out if it takes all night
take some time to know what we like

i don’t want to be
misunderstood
it’s all i ask
you know what’s good
