Lyrics:
A plague in the workhouse
A plague on the poor now
I feed on my drum 'til I'm dead
Yesterday, fever
Tomorrow, St. Peter
I'll feed on my drum until then
What melody will lead my lover from his bed?
What melody will see him in my arms again?
Set fire the foundation
And burn out the station
You'll never get nothing of mine
The pane of my window
Will flicker and glimmer
Leave only the stitching behind (?)
Oh, what melody will lead my lover from his bed?
What melody will see him in my arms again?
I'll sing of the walls of the well
And the house at the top of the hill
I'll sing of the bottles of wine
That we left on our old windowsill
I'll sing of the usual spin
Getting sadder and older, oh love

@RelentlessBoner It's I'll beat on my drum until then

@sonoskay I think he just likes to put weird photos as his cover art.

Awesome song, what made you think he's saying "I feed on my drum"? Are you retarded?
-
If I was his lover I would join him in the streets and die in his arms...

@sonoskay My God. I also thought it was a soldier standing with his lover or something. I guess it's a woman in a white dress, a darker coat with a fur collar and a hat. I'm excited about this, so you may choose to ignore this message if you figured that out 3 months ago.
