Jason And The Argonauts lyrics

There may be no golden fleece

But human riches I'll release

Oh, my head is spinning like the world

and it's filled with beasts I've seen

Let me put my bag down,

and I'll tell you it all right from the start

Like the scarlet woman who would

pick on the boys she thought were green

And the two-faced man who

made a hobby of breaking his wife's heart

Seems the more I travel

From the foam to gravel

As the nets unravel

All exotic fish I find

Like Jason and the Argonauts

There may be no golden fleece

but human riches I'll release

I was in a land where men

force women to hide their facial features

And here in the west it's just the same

but they're using make-up veils

I've seen acts of every shade of

terrible crime from man-like creatures

And I've had the breath of liars

blowing me off course in my sails

I have watched the manimals go by

Buying shoes, buying sweets, buying knives

I have watched the manimals and cried

Buying time, buying ends to other people's lives
