The Everso Closely Guarded Line Lyrics

One day, in a different way I
Will give myself a roll
In this petrifying life
Walking and breathing water
Will never be the same

Try a new scheme
A mans machine
And I try at my best
And I try giving all I can and
Hold it to the window of the world
Closing my eyes

One day, in a definate way I
Will test the heat of the water
With everything in sight
I mean until I am full
As an egg ready to burst

So try a new scheme
With a mans machine
With an insight to try
And I try at my best
And I try and I cry as I listen
To the bustle of the day passing me by

There is life in me left
To strike a blow for effect

Still born goes the everso
Closely guarded line
Oh

One day, in a different way I
Will give myself a roll
In this petrifying life
Walking and breathing water
Will never be the same

Try a new scheme
With a mans machine
With an insight to try
And I try at my best
And I try and I try as I listen
To the bustle of the day passing me by

There is life in me left
To strike a blow for effect
Hahahahahahahahahahaha...

Still born goes the everso
Closely guarded line
Oh

Cover art for The Everso Closely Guarded Line lyrics by Cardiacs

One of my favourite Cardiac songs. Their lyrics are wrapped up in hidden meanings. I think Tim is trying to come to terms with the struggle of life and the inevitable fate of death. Is there a meaning behind life or are we all a obsurd bunch of people running around without rhyme or reason? Get well Tim! We miss you.

is there something in here about not wanting to grow up and use a man's machine ( a car - to get to work) ?
