Dead Can Dance

Aion (1990) ...

Formed in Melbourne but operating mainly from London since 1984, produced an ethnic-drum driven 'medieval ambient' guitar music with deadpan vocals and wailing vocalese from main members Brendan Perry and Lisa Gerrard ... Not fitting any genre (often labelled Goth, though more Gothic sounding), definitely post-rock ...

Fortune Presents Gifts Not According To The Book ...

Fortune presents gifts not according to the book
Fortune presents gifts not according to the book
When you expect whistles it's flutes
When you expect flutes it's whistles
What various paths are followed in distributing honours and possesions
She gives awards to some and penitent's cloaks to others
When you expect whistles it's flutes
When you expect flutes it's whistles
Sometimes she robs the chief goatherd of his cottage and and goatpen
And to whomever she fancies the lamest goat has born two kids
When you expect whistles it's flutes
When you expect flutes it's whistles
Because in a village a poor lad has stolen one egg
He swings in the sun and another gets away with a thousand crimes
When you expect whistles it's flutes
When you expect flutes it's whistles
