It's time for more Babelfishing poetry, where I take song lyrics, run them through an on-line translator such as (but not necessarily) Babelfish, alter the punctuation a bit, and wind up with a quirky kind of poem.
Today, Peter Gabriel's 1977 song "Solsbury Hill" gets the Babelfish treatment (watch video here). Plus, we learn a new word.
Spoliated Things
Hill climb: Solsbury.
I can see the lights of the city.
The wind is still standing,
the time is blowing.
Thai Night Flight:
something to celebrate.
According to the article,
I heard a voice.
Day.
I'm not for any Election.
Nerve was stretched.
I am sure "about"
is the illusion of confidence.
My heart
(boom, boom, boom)
is his son,
and spoliated things
about you.
I have been trying to take you home.
Spoliate: \Spo"li*ate\, v. t. & i. [imp. & p. p. Spoliated; p. pr. & vb. n. Spoliating.] [L. spoliatus, p. p. of spoliare spoil. See Spoil, v. t.]
