King Creosote - Blue Marbled Elm Trees

No, I shan't complain
If on an April day and the ice gusts in from Norway
Scours the sand
Off of your grieving skin
And as you lay me down to sleep
And under earth two metres deep
Take the stones and the coals from the saw arms
You place them at my head
You place them at my feet

No, I shan't complain
If only a dozen or so of the loves of my life
Cannot contain their grief
And they weep real tears
Of all those wasted years
And as you lay me under earth, take comfort in the knowing
That they haven't an ease
A bitter soul to keep

No, I shan't complain
I had the best time laughing with my girls
I had the best life offered up by this blue marble
Or any alien world
And no, I shan't complain
If the lasting memory of me is the sign of a new life budding
In the leaves of the elm trees

No, I shan't complain
I had the best time laughing with my girls
I had the best life offered up by this blue marble
Or any alien world

I shan't complain

No, I shan't complain
I had the best time laughing with my girls
I had the best life offered up by this blue marble
Or any alien world
No, I shan't complain
I had the best time laughing with my girls
I had the best life offered up by this blue marble
Or any alien world

I shan't complain
No, I shan't complain
No, I shan't complain
