Bouncer See Bouncer… Songtext
von Scott Walker

Spared

I′ve been
Spared

All the nickling
All the dimeing

Spared

I've been
Spared

All the powder
On a trumpet
Of Gabriel

Don′t play
That song
For me

You won't
Play that
Song for
Me


The riff
With the
Swaddling
Hair

Those sisters
Who never
Broke
Us

The link
Missing
At the
Rear

And the
Halo
Halo of locust

Mama danced
Four feet
Away
Papa danced
Four feet
Away


In the rubbing
And fusing
The sealing
And pivoting

Gotta dance
Four feet
Away

Spared

I've been
Spared

All the handles
A body
Could handle

Spared

I′ve been
Spared

All the powder
On a Magdalene
Mary

Don′t play
That song
For me

You won't
Play that
Song for
Me

Those threads
You would
Never wear

The sobbing
That just
Might choke
Us

Those tooth
Fairies
Wait till
They get
Here

And the
Halo
Halo of locust

I love this season
Without its cleft

Left hook to
The right foot
Right cross
To the left

I love this season
This very night

Right cross to
The left foot
Left hook to
The right

Mama danced
Four feet
Away
Papa danced
Four feet
Away

In the rubbing
And fusing
The sealing
And pivoting

Gotta dance
Four feet
Away
