Landslide Song - Laura Stevenson, Laura Stevenson and the Cans, The Cans

«Rush rush rush» went the coal and went the water

Past the tufts, tufts, tufts, snapping trees like fingers easy as all

Down it comes now prepare yourself the black is gushing

Up, up, up to the windows, curtains and the cushions

Things are getting so untidy

Hush hush hush, if you scream then everyone will start screaming

Numb, numb, numb frozen limbs and frozen bottoms hold you

Still enough 'til you breathe in three times it will take you

Up, up, up high above your shoes and socks now

Things are getting so untidy

Broken are the backs of the shovel bearers

Smoking on their breaks

Cutting conversations to T.V. shows

And places that they long to go

Long before the dig began

And long before the dig is over
