What Death Leaves Behind |
| I was the first match struck at the first cremation, you are my shallow grave, |
| I’ll tend you as a sexton |
| If you’re the casket door that’s being slammed upon me, I’ll be a plague cross |
| painted on your naked body |
| Well summer sighed and summoned up hail. |
| Dirty in dish rack drips the holy grail |
| May be heartslob but I want 'em to know, cut and shut us like a portmanteau |
| We sit around jus' spitballin', all the witches cackle round my cauldron |
| Recognise the lies from my poker tongue (is it true???) |
| They say you and me are tautology |
| What grows from the seeds, |
| can you quite believe? |
| through cracks come the weeds, |
| Long time listener, first time caller, |
| no need to remind me |
| What death leaves behind me |
| Why must I lie awake, from dusk until the morning, through fear of bein' |
| impaled upon errant mattress spring? |
| Within a waking dream I finally made my heel turn, lived life as Super 8 when |
| you were promised Hilton |
| Propose me as a pardon for sins, led on barbecue I’m burnt offerings |
| I proof-read the Book of Job for the Lord: edit one, League Cup 2004 |
| We, delicate as a filigree, cleared a place for us in the chicory |
| Colosseum blood will dry in the sun (is it true???) |
| We tread it carefully, we feel around in kid-gloves |
| What death will leave behind, death will leave behind love |
| We will flower again, I have surely seen it |
| WE WILL FLOWER AGAIN |
