Sands Filk

[elspethdixon]

This one is for hippediva, because she is the goddess of Mexico filk.

Dusty sidewalks
Bloody sidewalks
Baking under the sun
In the air there's a feeling of chaos.

People shooting
People screaming
Firing gun after gun
And above the explosions you hear

Silver chains. Silver chains.
Here come the crazed Mariachis.
Hear them ring
Jingle-jing
Soon there will be hell to pay.

Brawlers throw fists
Peasants throw bricks
Waving flags red and green
As the soldiers rush out with machine guns

Hear the tanks roll
Count the death toll
It's Marquez's big scene
And above all this carnage you hear

Silver chains. Silver chains.
Here come the crazed Mariachis.
Hear them ring
Jingle-jing
Soon there will be hell to pay.

All that and a Sharpe/Harper essay, too. Now if only I were this productive with my thesis.

I've been meaning to wander by and comment on this but somehow - as happens - real life intervened and it was only now that I remembered I'd meant to say something. I was hugely amused by this, even though I only vaguely know the song. Between you and hippediva this kept me entertained last week.

Thanks!

You're welcome ^_^. Writing it distracted me from thesis and exams for a few minutes, so I'd say we're even.
