cardiacs - in a city lining [rude bootleg] lyrics

in a city lining [rude bootleg] lyrics
[tim’s prattle]
me?
to be the one with the wind+up legs
they look just the ch+ truth he begs
upon the shelf with the cups for the eggs
running for his life he begs
please mummy
please mummy

[verse 1]
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 lullaby
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

[verse 2]
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 lullaby
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
[pre+chorus]
biting while cutting deep
makes me end up with a clean sweep, making all the 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
don’t boil using teflon on her
should i go and put the kettle on her?

[chorus]
michael’s got himself a girlfriend, he’s a lucky fellow
katy’s toss+ as white as ever, but now it’s gone all yellow
malcolm’s a b+st+rd and keeps acting like emperor nero
peter is constantly pretending to be a superhero

[verse 3]
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

[pre+chorus]
biting while cutting deep
makes me end up with a clean sweep, making all my fears
(la la la)
completely dissolve away
the saving up for the hope day disappears
the funny man meaning one thing
trying one thing, trying not to laugh
then he gives the news of an epitaph
for the creatures dying in my bath

[chorus]
tracy is turning and revolving in a city lining
martin keeps his new lambretta gleaming and shining
all news has its way and leaves me staring at my pillow
all clouds have a silver lining gleaming and shining

[bridge]
all of the time
on the siegfried line

all news has its way and leaves me staring at my pillow
all clouds have a silver lining gleaming and shining

[outro]

[tim’s post+song prattle]
{indiscernible}
shut up
enough of these big bangs and chords on the guitar and on the organ
