Jason And The Argonauts By XTC – Song Lyrics

There may be no golden fleece
But human riches I’ll release

Oh, my head is spinning like the world and it’s filled with beasts I’ve seen
Let me put my bag down, and I’ll tell you it all right from the start
Like the scarlet woman who would pick on the boys she thought were green
And the two-faced man who made a hobby of breaking his wife’s heart

Seems the more I travel
From the foam to gravel
As the nets unravel
All exotic fish I find

Like Jason and the Argonauts
There may be no golden fleece, but human riches I’ll release
Like Jason and the Argonauts
There may be no golden fleece, but human riches I’ll release

I was in a land where men force women to hide their facial features
And here in the west it’s just the same but they’re using make-up veils
I’ve seen acts of every shade of terrible crime from man-like creatures
And I’ve had the breath of liars blowing me off course in my sails

Seems the more I travel
From the foam to gravel
As the nets unravel
All exotic fish I find

Like Jason and the Argonauts
There may be no golden fleece, but human riches I’ll release
Like Jason and the Argonauts
There may be no golden fleece, but human riches I’ll release

I have watched the manimals go by
Buying shoes, buying sweets, buying knives
I have watched the manimals and cried
Buying time, buying ends to other people’s lives

There may be no golden fleece, but human riches I’ll release
There may be no golden fleece, but human riches I’ll release
There may be no golden fleece, but human riches I’ll release
There may be no golden fleece, but human riches I’ll release

I have watched the manimals go by
Buying shoes, buying sweets, buying knives
I have watched the manimals and cried
Buying time, buying ends to other people’s lives

Like Jason and the Argonauts
There may be no golden fleece, but human riches I’ll release
Like Jason and the Argonauts
There may be no golden fleece, but human riches I’ll release
Like Jason and the Argonauts
There may be no golden fleece, but human riches I’ll release
Like Jason and the Argonauts
There may be no golden fleece, but human riches I’ll release
Like Jason and the Argonauts
There may be no golden fleece, but human riches I’ll release
Like Jason and the Argonauts
There may be no golden fleece, but human riches I’ll release

There may be no golden fleece, but human riches I’ll release
There may be no golden fleece, but human riches I’ll release
Like Jason and the Argonauts
There may be no golden fleece, but human riches I’ll release
