Dodo / Lurker (Live from N.E.C., Birmingham, 23rd December 1981)
[Part I: Dodo]
[Intro]
Too big to fly
Dodo ugly so dodo must die
Dog go with fear on its side
Can't change, can’t change the tide
Dog baiter, agitator
Keeps asking questions, says he wants to know why
Ah, there ain't no reason that money can't buy
Ah, but Mink he pretty so mink he must die
Must die, must die
[Verse 1]
Sun he giving life in his light
It’s part of the system, now, now
Friend to man and friend to the trees
No friend to the snowman, no
[Chorus]
But where does he go, and what does he do?
Ah, does he meet with the mole, the stream, the cloud
And end up at the bottom of the sea
[Verse 2]
Fish he got a hook in his throat
Ooh, fish he got problems, now
[Chorus]
But where does he go, and what does he do?
Ah, does he hope he's too small to poor a haul
Who'll end up being thrown back in the sea
I'm back in the sea, yeah
[Bridge]
Caretaker, horror movie
Only one eye, only needs one boot
Ah, sweet lady, she knows she looks good
Ah, the vacuum coming for the bright and the brute
Big noise, black smoke
Ooh, so pig-headed couldn't see the joke
Ah, but it ain't funny ask the fly on the wall
It's only living, it don't matter at all
At all, at all
[Verse 3]
Pimp, he makes you drool and grunt
Well, he got an answer, now
One he’s got a dream of love
Deep as the ocean, ocean, ocean, ocean
[Chorus]
But where does he go and what does he do?
Ah, does the siren team with Davy Jones
And end up at the bottom of the sea
Well, I’m back in the sea
I'm back in the sea, yeah
I’m back in the sea
[Part II: Lurker]
[Intro]
Meanwhile lurking by a stone in the mud, uh
Two eyes looked to see what I was
And then something spoke
And this is what it said to me
[Chorus]
Clothes of brass and hair of brown
Seldom need to breathe, don't need no wings to fly
And a heart of stone
And a fear of fire and water, who am I?
[Chorus]
Clothes of brass, hair of brown
Seldom need to breathe, don't need no wings to fly
And a heart of stone
And a fear of fire and water, who am I?
