  • Song Lyrics » D » Dead Can Dance » Mephisto Lyrics
    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
