Ties of Blood and Water - Frankie Big Face

3/4 q=108
She presses the blade into her palm
And then she does the same.
They grasp each other's hands and embalm
Themselves to each other's shame.

4/4 q=92
Of all the ties that bind us
Blood and water don't mean anything
Of all the ties that bind us
Blood and water don't mean a thing

She slices her thumb on the envelope
Her father sends at Christmas time.
Her tears emboss the space she hoped
Her mother would finally sign.

Of all the ties that bind us
Blood and water don't mean anything
Of all the ties that bind us
Blood and water don't mean a thing

q=54
Only love can teach us anything
Only love can fill our hearts
Only love can ward off everything
That aims to tear us apart

She squeezes her hand with all of her strength
At the moment of greatest pain
The nurse records his weight and his length
And their lives begin again

Of all the ties that bind us
Blood and water don't mean anything
Of all the ties that bind us
Blood and water don't mean a thing

Only love can teach us anything
Only love can fill our hearts
Only love can ward off everything
That aims to tear us apart

A round of transfusions and a pint of saline
Can tell a convincing lie.
But water and blood can't stop a guillotine
And neither can you and I.

"Rainbow Connection"! Vocal vibrato distraction. Hooky chorus, but song more a buffet than a prepared meal. Elements, signified by different tempos, need more than just the lyrics to hold them together.
