lyrics

with a left right flash & the dog in the pan
smacking my face with a cartoon hand
i went into town, town fell down
tall guy in the front starts bouncing around

going to hell, in series & in parallel
the passion slashing blind can see
the emperor has an itchy nose
grovelling here & then flip down their toes
nose is nailed to the floor
lockdown people are odd & funny
& they bury all their clothes
love tasting like earwax
rib-toothed canine raving in storms
powerline sculptures open the dogs
like a fire with wings

swinging down in the silhouette kind of light
he's going my way, he's going down
swinging down in the silhouette kind of light
our silhouettes in dreams

crystal palace soldiers in a plastic crusade
like fish in a bottle, don't be afraid
it's a conspiracy of noise
rock & roll enema, shit on the dancefloor
smacked on the forehead with a silver spoon
hands that grasp the wind & bellow down walls
we stand on the river, they take it away
it's not my fault that i eat my own salt
the town is changing & i'll be king
expansive crudity revolves around stars
the place is overgrown with millionaires
vandalised trees go pillory grey

swinging down in the silhouette kind of light
he's going my way, he's going down
swinging down in the silhouette kind of light
our silhouettes in dreams

solid & pallid ye cry through the seasons
& then you start flaming red
& then it's all over, you'll be just like them
the dragon can be slain with gentle humour
but the good guys have gone away
& the fun goes out of the day
no conclusion, just more confusion
the hours were no good so time resigns
& the tall guy in the front is jumping up & down

swinging down in the silhouette kind of light
he's going my way, he's going down
swinging down in the silhouette kind of light
our silhouettes in dreams
