Taro (ver 4) by Alt-j
This song is pretty easy to play... though amazing to listen to...
Make sure you're tuned to Oped D and have your tape ready ;)

Indochina, Capa jumps Jeep, two feet creep up the road
To photo, to record meat lumps and war
They advance as does his chance
oooh ooh - very yellow white flash

A violent wrench grips mass, rips light, tears limbs like rags
Burst so high finally Capa lands
Mine is a watery pit, painless with immense distance

3:10 pm, Capa pends death, quivers, last rattles, last chokes
All colors and cares glaze to gray, shriveled and stricken to dots
Left hand grasps what the body grasps not
