Tarred And Feathered Cardiacs Live by Cardiacs Lyrics
[Intro]
[?]
A bit of a fat boy, maybe? Isn't he?
(One, two, three, four!)
[Verse 1]
I find I understand the rules, but cannot find the reasons
Do they include everything, and they change for every season
It's only a matter of...
Time is of the essence, shall I put up some resistance?
Cursed with the awareness of my own existence
It's only a matter of...
[Chorus]
Time tends to pass by quicker than the nail
That boxes me together, forеver it forms the seal
Is thе knowledge of my own existence real?
[Verse 2]
I find I understand the rules, but cannot find the bloody reasons! Get away!
Do they include everything, and they change for every season
It's only a matter of...
[Chorus]
Time tends to pass by quicker than the nail
That boxes me together, forever it forms the seal
Is the knowledge of my own existence real?
[Verse 3]
A slice of life, a piece of mind, lay on a plate of my own kind
I'll take a key from the gravy and unlock the cage that holds the ravens in
[Bridge]
What's it like flying high?
I've a cone for a beak, but the tar makes me cry
That holds me together, tarred and feathered
[Verse 4]
Breathing at home, hoping for the day
The radio and television's thrown the rest away
Oh, dear me, look who's come around
Now all I have to do is hide my body in the ground
It's all I have to do
[Outro]
When they who to the sea go down
And in the waters ply their toil
Are lifted on the surge's crown
And plunged where seething eddies boil
