Verse 1
D
Before the guests arrived,
G
D
there's still a hundred and one chores
Hang tinsel in the doorway,
G
D
deck the halls and sweep the floors
The beast had been slaughtered,
G
D
its carcass hung in a blare
And preparations made
G
D
G
D
for the baking of the bread
The child on a chair
stood transfixed by the power
As the mother pounds the dough
G
D
with her forearms in the flour
Carried on a tray
G
D
as if the head of John the Baptist
And put into the oven
G
D
for its final flaming chapters

D
Now all the doors
throughout the house
lay open bar one
G
D
Behind it, hunched in misery, the eldest son
For echoes of a jilted love
G
D
in every thought lay haunting
It stays safely hidden
G
D
from his family's playful taunting
Bm
Tears will never bring her back,
G
D
G
A
trying to hide their mirth
D
G
Stop feeling sorry for yourself,

Bm
A
D
G
D
it's the evening of the birth
He took out a pile of papers
G
D
where he'd written his love poems
Shook out the tiny insects
G
D
who'd made the heap their home
Crept into the kitchen
with those words of desire
He opened up the oven door
G
D
and threw them on the fire
Bm
A
Each page curled, they clenched like fists,
G
A
the smoke it swirled in upward twists.
Bm
A
D
The anger of a dragon's eye glowed,
G
read the love.
Bm
The mixture swelled and
D
puffed and stretched,
G
D
G
A
G
almost outgrew the oven
D

And the eldest boy snuck through the yard

While the moon it watched above him

Well it took three men to lift it out,
they cried, we've just been blessed
We'll live off bread for three whole weeks
G
D
and feed the cats the rest
Well others just dismissed it
G
D
as a mishap with the East
Their brains in their bellies,
G
D
eager to begin the feast
Bm
A
Well the councillors all took their places
G
With bloodshot cheeks on

G

D
The guests were all blown backwards
G
with a vi olent noxious gust
D
The most moving words of passion
Bm
never heard in their lives
D
Were spraying all directions
G
D
as daggers, darts and knives
Madden rushed to the front door,
G
D
a wave of shrieks and howls
Some fallen down,
G
D
riddled with the shrapnel of vowels
Pinned onto the wall,
G
D
one was shown his goodbye
Slumped with a hole sharp centred,
