Case, Neko - Last Lion Of Albion Lyrics
Early in the morning where there used to be a stream
Is a tiny business lake
Don't let the cattails fool you
Down in the bottom where nothing is born
Sleeps a silver dollar with your face thereon
Wish I could trace the frowning compass of your mind
Drop the mercury down the Roman drain and summon mine
Last lion of Albion
They'll use you for centuries to come
They'll steal your patents for the sun
And you'll feel extinction
When you see your face on their money
Laid in the heavens that are already bought
On the surface of your tender unintended machine
Is there a buckle knuckle kneel on a carpet of lion's tongues
Wish I could stand in the spray of the cliff of your sweet revenge
Ocean of naked serrated marble crushing in
Last lion of Albion
They'll use you for centuries to come
They'll steal your patents for the sun
And you'll feel extinction
Last lion of Albion
They'll use you for centuries to come
Your wounds the main road into London
You'll feel extinction
When you see your face on their money
Last lion of Albion
The last she-wolf to mother Rome
The last virgin to wash ashore
You'll feel extinction
Last lion of Albion
The last of the Mohicans gone
The last cedars of Lebanon
You'll feel extinction
Last lion of Albion
Last tiger of Tasmania
The last she-wolf to suckle Rome
You'll feel extinction
When you see your face
Face on their money

SHIT VERSION I HATE YOU ALL. I NEED VERSION FROM ADULTSWIM. WHY YOU DELETED THIS?

disapointed to find that the studio version has voice autotune..
Every time I need a good cry, I turn to this.
I’m not sure what it is, but this moves me...
🦁 *Is the song about lions?* 🦁
Always makes me think of Aslan, a.k.a jesus allegory lion.
i love this so much!
Is this song about lions?

This makes me so sad. We all know how relevant this song is right now.
Beautiful.
and, we are they. that is w hy.
I’m so happy I found you, Neko.
I saw her in concert recently at the Fremont in SLO and my world was rocked. Her vocals are amazing live, more remarkable than on record. I left awestruck.
**JOE BEAR'S BEST OF 2018** #11 - NEKO CASE "Hell-On" - Favorite track is "Last Lion of Albion" #BEARSBESTOF2018
Amazing video for a great song.
Neko’s work always moves me
The beginning sounds so similar to a classic rock song that I don’t want to name because I don’t want you stealing the ill mashup that I’m gonna do😜!
That's fine, as long as you post the results here on YouTube or some such. I'd love to see a great Neko Case mash-up.
wow really good video, well done, made me like the song even more
Great tune...it makes me sad... Love the new Anti album. Good on yas
A Google User same here, it makes me cry lol
Neko Case is a genius, thank you for coming to my TED Talk.
What's the message? Where are the songs words?
well you can listen interview of how this song was created aka "what's the message" here ---> http://songexploder.net/neko-case
and lyrics you can find just by typing the title of this song, duhhh
That's not a lion. That's just a cat.
I adore k.d. lang's backing vocals in this. But then again, I adore k.d. lang full stop. Great album Neko. x
Okay, well now I'm starting to see an Apocalyptic theme in this song. One way of looking at the title is "Last Love/Lion of SHEKNOWS. SHEKNOWS might be referring to Sophia or the Holy Spirit, or both. Does this symbolize the Holy Spirit leaving?
"The question of the Holy Spirit not being present during the tribulation results from a misunderstanding of 2 Thessalonians 2:7, which reads, “For the secret power of lawlessness is already at work; but the one who now holds it back will continue to do so till he is taken out of the way.” Right now, prior to the tribulation, one of the ministries of the Holy Spirit is the restraint of evil. In verses 8 and 9, we learn that the restraining power of the Holy Spirit holds back the “lawless one” (Antichrist) so he is not revealed before God wills it. The passage says the Holy Spirit will no longer restrain the growth of evil, but that does not mean He will have no ministry whatsoever."

https://www.gotquestions.org/Holy-Spirit-tribulation.html
Sorry, these nitwits call the Holy Spirit a he, but I think you get my point.
I'm jealous
"Last Lion of Albion" has an interesting anagram. lost-labia-fool Inn. Letzte Löwe von Albion - In German, it sounds like Last Love von Albion. Albion is a Celtic baby name which means "she knows". So is the title of the song saying "Last love for she knows"? (von can mean either "for" or "of").
One thing that I'm wondering what other people think is about when in the video the Lion was on the log or raft or whatever it was and it was about to go over the waterfall. It looks like the head of the lion turns into an owl, first, and then next it appears to turn into an eagle. I think the artist was trying to convey two symbols, here. The first is that of a transition to a state of enlightment. Owls are wise. But maybe more importantly, perhaps is when the head turns into an eagle. An animal that has the rear end and shoulders of a lion and the head of an eagle is a Gryphon or Griffon. This is a legendary mythical godlike creature. Thoughts?
You can listen to what the artist had in mind while creating the song on the podcast "Song Exploder." As for the title, she said that "Albion" is one of the last Ancient names of London.
@Moshe B I will try to listen to that. Yes, I'm aware Albion meaning London. All those "Lasts" in the song are a type. I feel the artist wants to bring to mind her sense of being in a transition stage where we are about to see some BIG *lasts.*
Maybe something like a cultural shift.
I listened to the podcast. Great, thanks! http://songexploder.net/neko-case
@Moshe B Thanks for the pointer to *Song Exploder.* I'm finding a lot of artist interviews there that I'll definitely be watching.
@Gary timeloop No problem. Someone pointed me to it and I'm happy to share it with someone else who appreciates it. 😊
is it bad i got chills when the lion was falling?
No, no that was a good time to get chills. :smile:
Absolutely beautiful visually and musically.
one of the best six songs on the CD. I'm surprised she didn't get a real lion for the video. Good thing my mercy isn't lost
just a great song ! and the video is adorable
Excellent description. "Adoration" may be related to what's being said in the song.
Love you neko
Creative and beautiful Music/Art.
