...and we can try and decipher it.

I'll start:

"We saw the Western coast, I saw the hospital, nurse the shoreline like a wound, we paint a lover's tryst, we're neither clear nor descript, we kept it safe and slow, the quiet things that no one ever knows."
 
i dont think that makes sense to even the lyricist. sometimes ppl write shit just for the way it sounRAB; the ambience it paints.. or cuz it sounRAB arty

i can't think of any lyrics right now
 
Informer you no say daddy me Snow me I'll go blame
A licky boom boom down
Detective mon said daddy me Snow me stab someone down the lane
A licky boom boom down.

"Blood Clot" is the most virulent insult in Jamaican Patois English. It is similar to 'fuck' in usage, but does not change form for different parts of speech. Blood Clot has entered the slang lexicon in other dialects of English through the Rastafarian sub-culture. It can be an noun, as in "Shut up, blood clot," or, more commonly, an adjective, as in "The blood clot government is cracking down on the growing of the herb."

'Clot' is the Jamaican Patois word for cloth - therefore a 'blood clot' would be a cloth used to deal with menstrual episodes.
 
Hello Mr. Zebra
Ran into some confusion with a Mrs. Crocodile
Furry mussels marching on
She thinks she's Kaiser Wilhelm
Or a civiliaes syllabub
To blow your mind
Figure it out

tori amos - Mr. Zebra....god shes fucked. beautiful music despite weird lyrics
 
so how do you say "blood clot" in Jamaica? I.e. you run up to the doctor and say "Doctor, I think something is wrong with my arm - it has a blood clot."
