DEAD CAN DANCE lyrics - Fortune Presents Gifts Not According To The Book

Fortune presents gifts not according to the book

Fortune presents gifts not according to the book



When you expect whistles it's flutes

When you expect flutes it's whistles



What various paths are followed in distributing honours and possesions

She gives awards to some and penitent's cloaks to others



When you expect whistles it's flutes

When you expect flutes it's whistles



Sometimes she robs the chief goatherd of his cottage and and goatpen

And to whomever she fancies the lamest goat has born two kids



When you expect whistles it's flutes

When you expect flutes it's whistles



Because in a village a poor lad has stolen one egg

He swings in the sun and another gets away with a thousand crimes



When you expect whistles it's flutes

When you expect flutes it's whistles
