Cardiacs - Fast Robert lyrics

The life and soul crys himself blind For shorter life a sight for eyes The life and soul dull as ditchwater And swallow whole the birthright of a baby soul Covers her baby with mothers hole One day he's born and he likes the world And all she holds she says she's round And in the ground life all around Life all around and it takes him down The dark's too brown to see what's here But it keeps him warm and it knows no fear Like day or year Poison in my idle mind Makes quick work for the Mephistopheles Who quickly makes his excuses To heaven his own course he sets With a mind to save his soul and mine What's falling to thinking Pretty girl, oblivion Hostility and suspicion So what creates competition Pipe retracted stowed away Cover the baby without thinking As if to shield him with the wardenship of a jar His mum will hide him away from all danger But not very far, not very far Sleeping quietly dreaming The last moments of some Medicine and national song All upside down it came out wrong And turned me on It turned me on It turns me sleeping quietly dreaming The last moments of some drowning girls And drowning boys Bob up and down like stupid toys They bob like you who loved me too Who loved me just in time to Cover the baby without thinking As if to shield him with the wardenship of a jar His mum will hide him away from all danger But not very far, not very far Cover the baby without thinking As if to shield him with the wardenship of a jar His mum will hide him away from the danger But not very far, not very far
