The Cook the Thief His Wife & Her Lover

Open your mouth look in at you don't smoke
look at your jacket
another king
one of these
gets to talk
you're Brittish
No

Illusions of color,
kids were learning
I was a choir boy once.
Whose dogs are these?
This is something I can get away with
whatever its racist beliefs.

Bookkeeper
where are they?
We still hear you sing even when
you're dead.
What's that mean?
evil gossip
I don't want the evidence destroyed.
I want you to listen--
could you cook him?
Tell me what I know,
what I let you you see,
associated with nothing,
known by no one,
let's eat.
