Taro (live From The Africa Centre 14.04.12) Lyrics & Chords By Alt-j

Indo-china, Capa jumps Jeep
Two feet creep up the road
To photo, to record meat lumps and war
They advance as does his chance

Very yellow white flash
A violent wrench grips mass
Rips light, tears limbs like rags
Burst so high, finally Capa lands

Mine is a watery pit
Painless with immense distance
From medic, from colleague, friend, enemy, foe
Him five yards from his leg, from you, Taro

Oh, oh
Do not spray into eyes
I have sprayed you into my eyes

3:10 pm, Capa pends death
Quivers, last rattles, last chokes
All colours and cares glaze to grey
Shriveled and stricken to dots

The left hand grasps what the body grasps not
Oh, le photographe est mort
3.1415, alive no longer my amour

Faded for home May of '54
Doors open like arms my love
Painless with a great closeness
To Capa, to Capa, Capa dark after nothing
Re-united with his leg
And with you, Taro

Oh, oh, Taro
Do not spray into eyes
I have sprayed you into my eyes

(Hey Taro!)
