[00:07.41] How I hate the Queen of Pentacles!
[00:11.98] Sitting on her golden throne
[00:16.51] In her domestic tyranny
[00:20.44] All roads lead back to her alone.
[00:22.89]
[00:24.99] The whole wide world is a great big drain
[00:29.94] And the vortex is her heart.
[00:34.38] Her needs and wants and Wishes and whims
[00:38.57] All take precedence on this chart.
[00:40.92]
[00:42.81] But what do I know? My card’s the fool, the fool, the fool
[00:49.97] That merry rootless man,
[00:52.26] With air beneath my footstep
[00:56.69] And providence as my plan.
[01:01.46] Providence as my plan.
[01:03.70]
[01:05.39] Oh it’s such expensive innocence!
[01:09.98] Never knowing any cost.
[01:14.43] She throws around her finery
[01:18.38] For us to fetch when it gets lost.
[01:21.50]
[01:40.95] But what do I know? My card’s the Fool! The fool, the fool.
[01:47.73] That merry rootless man.
[01:50.08] With air beneath my footstep
[01:54.39] And providence as my plan.
[01:59.14] Providence as my plan.
[02:03.12] But what do I know? My card’s the Fool! The fool, the fool.
[02:09.98] That merry rootless man.
[02:12.34] With air beneath my footstep
[02:16.69] And providence as my plan.
[02:21.55] Providence as my plan.
[02:25.06]
[00:07.41] How I hate the Queen of Pentacles!
[00:11.98] Sitting on her golden throne
[00:16.51] In her domestic tyranny
[00:20.44] All roads lead back to her alone.
[00:22.89]
