[00:02.00]Yon Two Crows - Mark Knopfler
[00:47.20]Pennies from heaven
[00:48.95]Don’t make me laugh
[00:50.32]
[00:50.92]Here all you’ll get
[00:52.26]Is the pattering rain
[00:53.33]
[00:54.24]Or yon two crows up over the hill
[00:56.97]
[00:57.48]Looking for winterkill
[00:59.15]
[01:01.85]Always at your boots
[01:02.94]
[01:03.57]The mud behind the byre
[01:04.72]
[01:06.72]With its clammy hold
[01:08.07]
[01:09.30]Would mock you up a grave
[01:10.65]Here in the mire of a wrecked sheepfold
[01:14.02]
[01:17.18]And all you’ll bring to this
[01:18.65]Is muscle and grit
[01:21.32]Persistence, that’s just about it
[01:23.54]
[01:24.78]What made you think
[01:25.55]There’d be a living in sheep?
[01:27.54]
[01:28.08]Eat, work, eat, work and sleep
[01:31.41]
[01:35.30]Duck under the eaves
[01:36.18]Of the bothy
[01:36.98]
[01:38.18]To sit here, caged by rain
[01:40.47]
[01:42.21]Somewhere to go conjure
[01:43.65]A next move
[01:44.99]When I have to think again
[01:46.61]
[01:50.38]The dog lifts his gaze to plead
[01:52.51]
[01:53.58]Believes the wizard has a magic stick
[01:55.84]
[01:57.33]Leans his weight into my tweed
[01:59.60]I give an unholy hand to lick
[02:01.95]
[02:04.57]I take a swig of sheep dip
[02:06.03]From my flask
[02:07.44]
[02:09.51]And once again I ask
[02:11.27]
[02:12.27]What made you think
[02:13.21]There’d be a living in sheep?
[02:15.21]
[02:15.76]Eat, work, eat, work and sleep
[02:19.43]
[02:43.11]They were at this game
[02:44.06]Two hundred years ago
[02:45.35]
[02:46.84]Had thirty ways
[02:47.68]Of dying young, poor souls
[02:49.46]
[02:50.49]Laid to rest in their soggy rows
[02:53.14]Rain on their holy books
[02:54.90]
[02:58.21]Blood and whisky
[02:59.28]
[02:59.80]On the tongue
[03:00.69]
[03:01.70]And no-one watching over anyone
[03:03.92]
[03:05.45]No-one left but your stubborn one
[03:07.74]
[03:08.32]And the crows and rooks
[03:10.15]
[03:13.84]Ah, the dying young
[03:15.49]
[03:18.01]Well I’m not done
[03:19.33]
[03:20.37]You watch me and I’ll watch thee
[03:23.61]I can still work for two men
[03:25.56]And drink for three
[03:26.77]
[03:27.83]And I raise my flask
[03:29.03]To the clearing skies
[03:30.56]
[03:31.52]To you, sweepers
[03:32.95]You carrion spies
[03:34.64]
[03:36.16]To scavenge and survive
[03:38.31]
[03:39.19]If you can do it so can I
