Blue Oyster Cult ~ Mistress Of The Salmon Salt


In the garden district Where the plants grow strong and tall Behind the bush there lurks a girl Who makes them strong and tall The villagers call her Quicklime girl........behind her back Quicklime girl........behind the bush Quicklime girl She's the mistress of the salmon salt Quicklime girl Quicklime girl Quicklime girl In the fall when plants return By harvest time she knows the score Ripe and ready to the eye Yet rotten somehow to the core And they call her Quicklime girl........behind her back Quicklime girl........behind the bush Quicklime girl She's the mistress of the salmon salt Quicklime girl Quicklime girl Quicklime girl A harvest of life a harvest of death One body of life one body of death And when you've gone and choked to death With laughter and a little step I'll prepare the quicklime, friend For your ripe and ready grave For your ripe and ready grave It's springtime now and cares subside And the planning's almost done And fertile graves it seems exist Within a mile of that duke's joint Where coast guard crews still take their leave Quite listless in the sun And the quicklime girl still plies her trade The reduction of the many from the one And they call her Quicklime girl........behind her back Quicklime girl........behind the bush Quicklime girl She's the mistress of the salmon salt Quicklime girl Quicklime girl........they call her Quicklime girl A harvest of life, a harvest of death Resumes its course each day It comes as if by schedule A harvester lifts his arms to the rain And toes that crawl And knees that jerk And necks like swans that seem to turn As if inclined to gasp or pray more free lyrics

In the garden district
Where the plants grow strong and tall
Behind the bush there lurks a girl
Who makes them strong and tall
The villagers call her
Quicklime girl........behind her back
Quicklime girl........behind the bush
Quicklime girl
She's the mistress of the salmon salt
Quicklime girl
Quicklime girl
Quicklime girl

In the fall when plants return
By harvest time she knows the score
Ripe and ready to the eye
Yet rotten somehow to the core
And they call her
Quicklime girl........behind her back
Quicklime girl........behind the bush
Quicklime girl
She's the mistress of the salmon salt
Quicklime girl
Quicklime girl
Quicklime girl

A harvest of life a harvest of death
One body of life one body of death
And when you've gone and choked to death
With laughter and a little step
I'll prepare the quicklime, friend
For your ripe and ready grave
For your ripe and ready grave

It's springtime now and cares subside
And the planning's almost done
And fertile graves it seems exist
Within a mile of that duke's joint
Where coast guard crews still take their leave
Quite listless in the sun
And the quicklime girl still plies her trade
The reduction of the many from the one
And they call her
Quicklime girl........behind her back
Quicklime girl........behind the bush
Quicklime girl
She's the mistress of the salmon salt
Quicklime girl
Quicklime girl........they call her
Quicklime girl

A harvest of life, a harvest of death
Resumes its course each day
It comes as if by schedule
A harvester lifts his arms to the rain
And toes that crawl
And knees that jerk
And necks like swans that seem to turn
As if inclined to gasp or pray

Globalized Sounds

Today, beautiful European and American music, an Afrobeats recorded in Lagos, can play in headphones in Tokyo; a South Korean idol group can fill an Argentine stadium to capacity. On Spotify, the playback volume of African music has increased by 500% in five years; K-pop has already transcended the Asian border and become a common language for young people all over the world; Latin music has consistently topped the streaming charts for several consecutive years. The world is getting smaller while the scope of music is expanding.

The Power of the Scene

When the lights dim and the first note is played, strangers become synchronized. The tremor when thousands sing together, and the melody that still echoes after the crowd disperses - this is an experience that no screen can convey. We look forward to the return of large-scale concerts to the essence of music, and we also look forward to small livehouses continuing to nourish the most vibrant soil of music.

Crossing Borders

Music transcends languages - even if you don't understand the lyrics, you can still shed tears or dance. It transcends cultures - the drumbeats of Nigeria and the chants of Iceland coexist under the same sky. It transcends generations - a song from half a century ago can still bring tears to the eyes of today's young people.

We Create Together

The future of global music is not determined by algorithms, nor is it monopolized by a few giants. It is shaped by every person who presses the play button. Maintain your curiosity, step out of your comfort zone. Support independent musicians and attend live performances. Seek connections through music - because we believe that a song can change a day, and music can change the world.
