If you had a smile to give away
Or failing that, some kind of holiday
These objects (this bed, this table & a chair)
Could not seem to stand between us.
Moving into new surroundings.
But (sigh) the walls around me give out fear
Slipping and sliding in a room which is shrinking
& wondering if I'd find you there?
Fearing footsteps that would take us nowhere
Seduced by the liquids in your eye
Lose myself in a morass of tangles
Torn between your hair and mine.
But (sigh) you'll sit and stand with a cat's composure
While I flail with my feet in the air
If I could only break that back seat
And lose myself in burning hair.
Oh no no no no Sargasso Sea
Where the eels come from
The sarcastic clastic pack!!
(Can't get back?)
We sat friendly on a slab of stone.
We sat friendly on a slab of stone.
We sat friendly on a slab of stone.
We sat friendly on a slab of stone.
Or failing that, some kind of holiday
These objects (this bed, this table & a chair)
Could not seem to stand between us.
But (sigh) the walls around me give out fear
Slipping and sliding in a room which is shrinking
& wondering if I'd find you there?
Seduced by the liquids in your eye
Lose myself in a morass of tangles
Torn between your hair and mine.
While I flail with my feet in the air
If I could only break that back seat
And lose myself in burning hair.
Where the eels come from
The sarcastic clastic pack!!
(Can't get back?)
We sat friendly on a slab of stone.
We sat friendly on a slab of stone.
We sat friendly on a slab of stone.

You'd never guess from just listening to this song that the lyrics would be so sweet and poetic. It just sounds like a barrage of jagged guitar sounds and unintelligible blurted words, which is actually also part of its charm.
