Hope Day by Cardiacs Lyrics

Don't pity me
My sun shines only for me
Occasionally gives me hope
For the day I always wanted

I know the part that's never learned by anyone-two
So stick it up your arse by the left Mr Soldier
I'm safer on my own
When you go home
You'll all be in boxes so piss on you
Fighters right or wrong

Look at me now
Wow I'm impressed
You'll see when you
See me on the beach
See me on the beach
See me on the beach it gives me
Hope for the day I always wanted

Uniform a man of action
Uniform a man of action
Blame him to save blaming me
I can't quite reach him
Seeing is believing
But it never occured to me to do so anyway
I feel as high as the moon
But never mind it's hope day soon
It's plain to see I'm only bluffing
Man of action see him suffering
Dead men tell no tales
It seems that I'm halfway home

Blame him to save blaming me
And hurting someone pointlessly is
As easy as ABC
So carve me out an effigy

Passive action leaves no traces
Dead soldiers with silly faces
Mr "S" holds all the aces
Playing games and winning races
My soldier I kill you
Though I loved you more than all the world
The thought of dying makes me ill
I'm scared because I want to kill
So Blame him to save blaming me
And hurting someone pointlessly is
As easy as ABC
So carve me out an effigy
