In A City Lining [Cardiacs Live] Lyrics – Cardiacs
Singer: Cardiacs
Title: In A City Lining [Cardiacs Live]
Ssh!
Poor soldier
Despite all his charms
While he slept
They cut off his arms
‘innit?
And he said, “thank you, sir.”
“Thank you, sir!”
Please, mummy!
Please, mummy!
Oh, what a plain necessity to be alive, always too soon to criticise
I have had under my eyes and nose, my mouth singing me lullabies
I have no right to complain that I am alone, and have no-one permanently
But if one “takes it by the hand” the “funny man” laughs
Forever landing them on me
Oh, what a plain necessity to be alive, always too soon to criticise
I have had under my eyes and nose, my mouth singing me lullabies
I have no right to complain that I am alone, and have no-one permanently
But if one “takes it by the hand” the “funny man” laughs
Forever landing them on me
Biting while I’m cutting deep
Makes me end up with a clean sweep, making all my fears
Completely dissolve away, the saving up for the hope day disappears
It’s funny how when you breathe in, your mouth opens, air goes in
Won’t boil using Teflon on her, should I go put the kettle on her?
Michael’s got himself a girlfriend, he’s a lucky fellow
Katy’s top was as white as ever, but now it’s gone all yellow
Malcolm’s a b#stard, and keeps acting like Emperor Nero
Peter is constantly pretending to be a superhero
What’s in a name, la la la la, what’s in a name, la la la la
What’s in a name, la la la la, what’s in a name, la la la la
Biting while I’m cutting deep
Makes me end up with a clean sweep, making all my fear-
Da daa da da da daa
Completely dissolve away, the saving up for the hope day disappears
The funny man bringing one thing, something, trying not to laugh
Gives me news of an epitaph for the creatures dying in my bath
Tracy is turning and revolving in a city lining
Martin keeps his new {?} gleaming and shining
All news has its way then leaves me staring at my pillow
All clouds have a silver lining, gleaming and shining
All of the time, on the Siegfried line
All news has its way then leaves me staring at my pillow
All clouds have a silver lining, gleaming and shining
