Bitters End Lyrics
At last the crimson chord cascades
To shower dry cordials within
Too late to leap the chocolate gate
Pale fountains fizzing forth pink gin
While destiny begins to fly
The farmyard chorus sings its wake
Upstanding anthem to the sky
Too soon to realise their fate
You were the raven of October (bizarre)
I knew the sign you flew around (bizarre)
Up in the air so high above me
Never needed to look down
I never thought I'd be a rover
I didn't even look around
But now I know you've found another
So will someone please find me
Give now the host his claret cup
And watch madeira's farewell drink
Note his reaction acid sharp
Should make the cognoscenti think
To shower dry cordials within
Too late to leap the chocolate gate
Pale fountains fizzing forth pink gin
The farmyard chorus sings its wake
Upstanding anthem to the sky
Too soon to realise their fate
I knew the sign you flew around (bizarre)
Up in the air so high above me
Never needed to look down
I didn't even look around
But now I know you've found another
So will someone please find me
And watch madeira's farewell drink
Note his reaction acid sharp
Should make the cognoscenti think

The song is so great; can't believe no one has commented. If you listen closely, it has the same beat as Ben E. King's "Stand By Me," which is probably deliberate. From what I can tell, the lyrics are actually making fun of 60's "everything's alright" type of songs, while drawing on them at the same time. That understanding seems to go well with the overall feel of the album, which is slightly reminiscent of 50's and 60's rock.
Sounds a like lot Animal Farm :p

I think this one is about pigs being slaughtered.
