Fatima Mansions
What's this song about?
Generate meaning
1
The jet plane draws a jagged wound along the dimming autumn sky
2
His breath steams on ahead of him as through the tenement he does stride
3
to knock upon some doors
4
The boy who asked for more
5
and who hid his real fears so the people just saw...
6
they saw him smiling
7
They only ever saw him smiling
8
He breathes the air of the barber's shop
9
The steam, smoke and cheap cologne
10
He says, "Old man, tell this razor blade
11
how much you want to be left alone."
12
Over the mirror to the left
13
A postcard girl with naked breasts
14
brings us greetings from Crete to this ugly man's street just by smiling
15
Look, she's all smiling
16
Yeah, she pouts and acts hot with James Bond on his yacht
17
His arching eyebrow, his martini seed
18
while in her village in Milan starving people stole cans
19
and [bad] silver or the loser will bleed
20
In a few more years the cruel boy makes his way
21
up to where the real power is
22
until a bomb in his car blows him all over a wall
23
and his comrades shake their fists
24
We see the biggest killers of all who say they are appalled
25
They say, "Our rage is extreme," but you know what they mean
26
Upstairs they're smiling
27
Still scared and smiling
