Текст песни Take A Long Line (La Trobe University 1979) - The Angels

This is it folks
Ah, très bien

He was selling postcards from a paper stand
A whisky bottle in his withered hand
Put his finger on a photo from an old magazine
Saw himself in the shadow of his dream

Found him with his head inside a tin-pot crown
Told him his feet stank, then took him downtown
Called him agitator, spy and a thief
Shut him up in solitary, third degree

Take a long line
Take a long line
Take a long line
Reel him in

He tried to appeal to the king of might
Said, "I'm just exercising my sacred right"
King he said, "You ain't got no right
You're a madman, traitor, get outta my sight"

Take a long line
Take a long line
Take a long line
Reel him in
Yo, U-M-O

Found him with his head inside a tin-pot crown
Told him his feet stank, then took him downtown
Called him agitator, spy and a thief
Shut him up in solitary, third degree

Then they put him aboard a well-wound whirlwind
Pulled out his teeth and they told him to grin
Gave them a smile, pulled out a bottle of wine
Said, "I never existed, you've been wasting your time"

Take a long line
Take a long line
Take a long line
Reel him in

Take a long line
Take a long line
Take a long line
Reel him in

Take a long line
Take a long line
Take a long, long, long, long line
Reel him in
