Текст песни Langley’s Requiem - Declan O'Rourke
Langley
had
a
house
on
5th
Avenue
It
was
a
brown
stone
block
with
a
third
floor
view
He
saw
the
whole
wide
world
through
a
magpie's
eye
Took
home
a
million
things
you
would
walk
right
by
Langley
had
a
house
on
5th
Avenue
His
brother
Homer
was
blind
and
paralyzed
A
hundred
oranges
a
week
would
bring
back
his
sight
Through
the
bundles
and
the
boxes
that
were
stacked
as
deep
As
the
love
between
two
brothers,
Langley
watched
his
keep
His
brother
Homer
was
blind
and
paralyzed
They
withdrew
from
the
world
when
their
parents
died
And
when
Homer
got
sick,
Langley
only
came
out
at
night
To
sift
and
forage,
through
the
garbage
For
food
and
water,
things
to
salvage
Umbrellas
and
an
old
X-ray
machine
A
dozen
grand
pianos
and
a
rusty
spring
A
hundred
and
eleven
tons
of
other
things
Soon,
the
brothers
were
the
talk
of
the
neighborhood
People
said
they
had
a
palace
that
was
filled
with
gold
In
the
spring
of
47,
the
police
came
out
To
check
up
on
an
anonymous
tip
they
got
Soon,
the
brothers
were
the
talk
of
the
neighborhood
It
took
them
ten
days
to
find
Langley's
body
there
Caught
in
a
booby
trap
that
he
had
engineered
Near
30
years
of
daily
papers
and
a
leaking
roof
Crawling
through
a
maze
of
tunnels,
he
made
pram
nor
proof
To
protect
him
and
his
brother
from
their
greatest
fears
Among
the
rubbish
and
the
relics
he
had
saved
for
years
And
just
some
feet
away
from
Homer,
slumped
down
in
the
chair
It
took
them
ten
days
to
get
to
Langley's
body
there
