Back In Judys Jungle
Brian Eno
Letra

Álbum: Taking Tiger Mountain (by Strategy) ( 1974)

verse 1: 

These are your orders - seems like it s do it or die 

So please read them closely, When you ve read them be sure that you eat them up - 

They re specially flavoured with Burgundy, Tizer and Rye 

Twelve sheets of foolscap: don t ask me why. 

verse 2: 

We hit the jungle, Just as it starts to monsoon: 

Our maps showed no rainfall. All the boys were depressed by this cirtance 

"Trust in the weather" said less agricultural men 

Who gives birth to more farmhands, don t ask me why. 

Fifteen was chosen because he was dumb, seven because he was blind: 

I got the job because I was so mean, while somehow appearing so kind. 

Drifting about through the cauliflower trees with a cauliflower ear for the birds, 

The squadron assembled what senses they had and this is the sound that they heard...

Instrumental: 

verse 3: 

Back at headquarters, khaki decisions are made 

File under "Futile": that should give you its main point of reference 

It s all so confusing, what with pythons and then deadly flies 

But to them, it s a picnic, don t ask me why. 

Thirteen was chosen because of his luck, eleven because of his feet: 

One got signed up for exceptional pluck, another because he was mute. 

Roaming about through the gelatine swamps with a gelatine eye on the stripes, 

The squadron assembled what senses they had and this is the sound that they heard... 

Outro: 

Back in Blighty, there was you There were milkmen every morning 

But these endless shiny trees, never used to be that way. 

(repeat until fade)
