lyrics
No hope for the village, no hope for the village
A merchant’s in our midst and with a barrel fist
He’s coloured every surface, he’s slapped up a portrait
And yes, it is his own, he’s gonna take your home
Have you seen our visitor? Look! Over the treetops!
Newly conjured erections are making him a killing
And Richmond St. is illing, so the graduates are willing
To buy in to the pillage, now there’s no hope for the village
Prisoners, be silent, be silent and be sharp
When he was a young man, he conjured up a fire-mare
And burnt off both his eyebrows and half a head of hair
And then as an apprentice, he took a Drowish mistress
Who bestowed upon his youthfulness a sense of champagne chic
His seduction, his seduction to the world of construction
Now his mind will start to wander when he’s not at his computer
And his massive genitals refuse to cooperate
No amount of therapy can hope to save his marriage
Prisoners, be silent, be silent and be sharp
Can you hear them talking? Listen through the wall:
“Nothing to do, nothing to do
"Living rent-free is boring me
"Got no use for my PE Degree
"Got no use for my pedigree
"Hedi Slimane and agnès b.
"I’m not content, I’m not content
"Donna Karan and Kara Saun
"I’m not content, I’m not content."
"I feed you every morning and ask so little
"But you belittle all the work, all the work that I do
"When you take that walk without permission
"I’m not defensive, I’m just saying this cause I love you
"You know I hate it when your friends are in the pool
"Old money stink, send those faggots back to Forest Hill
"Contentment? What contentment? I am bald and impotent
"Is that what it’s about? Oh honey, honey, shut your mouth.”

So glad to found the complete bundle was still available to buy. I couldn't just buy the standalone LP, had to get all the items together to increase my own delight! ♡ One of my favourite records of Sufjan along with Carrie & Lowell and The Greatest Gift. Vinilocioso
