Xtc - Jason & The Argonauts lyrics

(andy partridge)<br><br>There may be no golden fleece,<br>But human riches I'll release<br><br>Oh, my head is spinning like the world and it's filled with beasts I've seen,<br>Let me put my bag down and I'll tell you it all right from the start,<br>Like the scarlet woman who would pick on the boys she thought were green,<br>And the two faced man who made a hobby of breaking his wife's heart.<br><br>Seems the more I travel,<br>From the foam to gravel,<br>As the nets unravel,<br>All exotic fish I find like jason and the argonauts<br><br>There may be no golden fleece,<br>But human riches I'll release<br><br>I was in a land where men force women to hide their facial features,<br>And here in the west it's just the same but they're using make-up veils.<br>I've seen acts of every shade of terrible crime from man-like creatures,<br>And I've had the breath of liars blowing me off course in my sails.<br><br>Seems the more I travel,<br>From the foam to gravel,<br>As the nets unravel,<br>All exotic fish I find like jason and the argonauts<br><br>There may be no golden fleece,<br>But human riches I'll release.<br><br>I have watched the manimals go by<br>Buying shoes, buying sweets, buying knives.<br>I have watched the manimals and cried<br>Buying time, buying ends to other peoples lives.<br><br>Jason and the argonauts<br><br>There may be no golden fleece,<br>But human riches I'll release.<br><br>Jason and the argonauts<br><br>There may be no golden fleece,<br>But human riches I'll release.
