## Lyrics

Caught in the field like a dirty great power,
Like thunder and rain.
Summonsed by nature when summonsed by name.
Safe in a house, close to door, hide his brain.

Life there’s fear, there’s hope all for the best
Raw head and bloody rest might shake their bones to
Paste and glue,
Starting the beginning of me/you.

Please mum and I hope that my dad means mum and I
Hope that dad, please mummy,
Tell me to do all the things I do
All things I do.
Screwing my courage to the sticking place,
Never a good race, never a good race.
I ‘Hail All Hail’ and give my life to live forever!

To walk some coal and take some strain alive,
All with lovely love on my side.

Waiting to see which way he will jump to find which hole he’s to creep into when he’s old and tired,
Not expecting to carry on and
When he’s away, day goes by day
And his old friends die.
His hope and fear’s a secret for his only child who’s expecting and carrying on in a different style.
Washed so bland via remedy man,
Stand for all that he can stand, throws a canker to the can.
Moults a hair putridity man, he’s a very special man,
He’s a very special man.
Lies to rest in difficult care for your pleasure
To be there, dissolves in a bed of chair.
Reechy institutional man.

Walking on fire bright,
Something is stealing his feeling again.
Lick wounds he heals and still feels there’s some pain
Washing his dirt in the mud and the rain.

Safe as house against a wall of air and noise,
A bucket full of everything he needs … needs.

Preserver in for her and him survive!
All with lovely lovely love on their side.

Moults a hair putridity man,
Squeak hard if he can for his girl,
Left his hand for sex with a man, with a different man.
Squeak hard, fatty man! Squeak thin, fatty man!
Shriek and dance to a different noise,
Shriek thin, fatty girls!
Shriek thin, fatty boys!
Girl, boy, world puts heads in a whirl,
Shriek thin, fatty boys!
Shriek thin, fatty girls!
Next.
To take her back, the break that never works and find all dust
And the steel in my mind urges me to carry on and
Preservere in for her and him.
Shake their bones to paste and glue,
Starts the begininning of me and you,
Woo!

Shriek and dance to a different noise,
Shriek thin, fat girl!
Shriek thin, fat boy!
Survive all with love on your lawn,
Wishing for preservere in all of your buds and spawn.

Washed so bland via liniment man,
Stands for all that he can stand;
He’s a very special man.
Moults a hair putridity man.
He’s a very special man,
He’s a very special man.
Beauty Peacock,
Butterflies care for your pleasure
To be there dissolves in a bed of chair.
Reechy institutional …
Beams all hero Apollo Man
Stands for all that he can stand,
He’s a very special man.
Beauty Peacock Butterfly Man,
He’s a very special man,
He’s a very special man.
Seemly Shining Fireproof Man,
Stands for all that he can stand,
Stands for all that he can stand.
What’s the point in giving us hands?
