Cardiacs - Song Of A Dead Pest lyrics

Mandy trained up her head to Away itself go when is told Head revealed its whereabouts In a thicket by calling "here... I'm here!" And in tones of deep solemnity Pronounced that she is dead Said she had left her torso Too excited to listen and naked Love gone lost of all faith in Divine intervention flying birds on a string Lowest neck down half of she Scandalously flies her hawks Outside my house She'll only go if I address her coffin As the ship whereon she must launch Out into eternity And renounce all dancing Renounce loose living And cricket
