once there lived May a sea princess
whose life submerged she had to address
an amorous affection she had
for the kings son of the land above
May saved her prince from tempestuous storms
now great was the desire to live in his home
exchange of the beautiful voice she possessed
was made by the sea witch for human legs
poor May heartbreak and
death to you if he weds another
poor May heartbreak and
death to you if he weds another, ah
prince took May in as his playmate
grew fonder of each other day by day
slept on velvet cushions beside his bed
would this human happiness ever end
Our poor princess was soon disMayed
to another lady love our prince engaged
to break this deathly spell that she’d been given
cut out his heart that she might live
poor May heartbreak and
death to you if he weds another
poor May heartbreak and
death to you if he weds another, ah
As Prince lay slumbering beside his bride
with knife in hand May crept inside
the heart of her beloved she couldn’t bear to slay
so plunged in the sea her body melting away
And death to you if he weds another,
And death to you as he weds another, ah.
A kind of imaginary crossing between JJ Perrey and Herbie Hancock (it makes me think of the funkyness of Headhunters I don't know why). Reminds me a bit of Arcadion as well. After many many listens, I have to say that it's absolutely perfect for dancing stupidly at home. Thanks Paddy Steer :) germainfraisse
