Cardiacs
Tarred And Feathered
[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 1]
Time tends to pass by quicker than the nail (Yes)
That boxes me together forever it forms the seal (Yes)
Is the knowledge of my own existence real?

[Verse 2]
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...

[Chorus 2]
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
Laid 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

[Hook]
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

[Outro]
It's all I have to do
When they who to the sea go down
And in the waters ply their toil
Are lifted on the surges crown
And plunged where seething eddies boil

[Postlude (Speech)]
Sarah: Bill
Bill: Yes?
Sarah: Have you just had a wash?
Bill: Yes
Sarah: You smell lovely!
Bill: Thank you very much
Tim: Hello? I am allowed in here, am I?
Oh, don't knob on your own face, you filthy DOG!!!
