lyrics

Rock disappeared on my watch.
Always too much the Nancy boy
Exit, pursued by Purcell
an English God with English hell.
'keeper, maker, mender, repairer and
tuner of the regalls, organs, virginals, flutes and recorders.'

Singspiel. The other fairy queen,
so that's what we're doing. OK?

Three legged soldiers
two legged cows
up to your nuts in guts
and don't know how

So hie me to some revelation hall
where they don't mince worlds or think small
and angels gaze down
through bloodstained light

Belief, doomed if you do
dammed if you don't
Wakefield's flock circle
moral imagination cycling
watch out for trucks
& always work with animals and children
it's more beautiful that way.

So take me up God of the Pod
