As maravilhas dos parques da Disney

Os The Fall, liderados por Mark E Smith, são uma das minhas bandas preferidas. Devo ter uns 15 discos deles (ou seja, para aí metade da sua discografia de álbuns originais).
O mau feitio de Mark E Smith, e o seu humor sardónico, fazem esquecer, por vezes, que eles até têm um bom punhado de músicas pop cantaroláveis. Para além disso, a sua pronúncia indecifrável não nos faz perceber a maior parte das coisas que ele diz nas suas belas letras.
Vou meter uma canção da sua colheita pop-atmosférica, de seu nome "Disney's Dream Debased", tirada do álbum "The wonderful and frightening world of The Fall".
A letra fala de um dia passado num parque de animações da Disney, e de um acidente real que por lá ocorreu, e que envolveu a decapitação de um pobre visitante do Parque, por causa de um defeito numa montanha russa (ou algo do género). Aqui fica a letra, e a música:

The day the dream went right back to base
There was blood on the ground
Blood on the sand
Blood all around
Tracks of the ride of the bright murder hawk
The day the dream debased and went home
And the people did mill to those adrenaline rails
And everything stopped

The nurses climbed up
Our face paled
And there was no doubt at all
No two ways about it
Was the day Disney's dream debased

Saw a mouse, who flapped at my wife
And she told him what
And she told him what had gone down
Who then did not know the extent of the show
The people had died in the mouth of their ride

And Dopey and Mickey, Brer and Pluto
Secretly prayed
And there was no doubt at all
No two ways about it
Was the day Disney's dream debased

Dark glasses on Western Union
Man the gates
The dream, an innocent meets her fate
Far away from Appalachia and the city hate
The day X3

When there was no doubt at all
No maybe about it
It was the day the dream debased

I remembered it from
The back of my mind
The tune that I wrote
In fallen dreams
Anthem to
Creator of all that had stopped

So there was no doubt at all
No two ways about it
It was the day the dream debased
