CADAVEROUS CONDITION LYRICS

1. Motherdust

[music and lyrics by Nick Saloman (The Bevis Frond)]

2. Shine

there could be a future, I see it bright, I don't see it clear
there is a place, I'm part of it with you
there is joy and all the pleasure
and there is also something I longed for

I'd give it all up, I'd throw it all away
but all that's left is me here in despair
hear the serenade
this serenade of my soul
my tearful words for you to shine

maybe you are present right now
and maybe I point at you right now
and if you are not
I wish it would be
that you would listen to my wail

I want to wave farewell to my lament
forget all my pain, my waking hours
I'll wake you in the morning
in a time when luck is mine
I await a time for me to shine

3. Lakeside Down

[music and lyrics by Todd Dillingham]

4. Wings But No Body

I take you to the playground near the station
we'll burn down the WatchTower house
and get drunk in the pub near the highway
I'd like to drive on now

wings but no body

a yesterday curse has a hold on me
an ever present herd has a hold on me
I will be happy, as happy as can be
wings but no body

wings but no body

a yesterday curse has a grip on me
an ever present herd has a grip on me
I will be happy, as happy as can be
wings but no body

5. Nostalgia

I see old spirits rise, in brown eyes
a violet smile, a lack of control
we failed to take the chance
long ago, for a day like this, I would have given
all my lifes future bliss
in the past I longed for futile days like this

I see old spirits rise, in your eyes
a violet smile, a lack of control
now we know what we have lost
short ago, for a day like this, I would have given
all my lifes future bliss
I still long for fertile days like this

6. Undertaker

[music and lyrics by Nick Saloman (The Bevis Frond)]

When I get tense and I can't decide
I got to get out what I got inside
I got to let off steam. I got to do what I do
And it always seems to depend on you
You're in the sky in your God disguise
Well, I don't believe, I just despise
And there ain't no point I wish to make
I just wanna be your undertaker

When I feel hurt and put upon
I don't want to hear that I`ve got it all wrong
I need to be soothed and ministered to
Instead I just get wound up by you
You don't even try to understand
I`m a gentle, sensitive, loving man
And there ain't no point I wish to make
I just wanna be your undertaker

7. Up The Ass Of A Swan

[music by Todd Dillingham with new arrangements by CC]
[lyrics by Todd Dillingham]

Up the ass of a swan
Is where you should be
The latching of truth
Therein lies the key

18. Wings

[Miriam remix of "Wings But No Body"]

I take you to the playground near the station
we'll burn down the WatchTower house
and get drunk in the pub near the highway
I'd like to drive on now

wings but no body

a yesterday curse has a hold on me
an ever present herd has a hold on me
I will be happy, as happy as can be
wings but no body

wings but no body

a yesterday curse has a grip on me
an ever present herd has a grip on me
I will be happy, as happy as can be
wings but no body
