Cardiacs - In A City Lining Lyrics

In A City Lining Song Lyrics
In A City Lining by Cardiacs Oh what a plain necessity to be alive
Always too soon to criticise
I have had under my eyes and nose
My mouth singing me lullabies

I have no right to complain that I am alone
And have no-one permanently
But if one takes it by the hand the funny man laughs
Forever landing them on me

Oh what a plain necessity to be alive
Always too soon to criticise
I have had under my eyes and nose
My mouth singing me lullabies

I have no right to complain that I am alone
And have no-one permanently
But if one takes it by the hand the funny man laughs
Forever landing them on me

Biting while cutting deep m
M akes me end up with a clean sweep
Making all my fears
Completely dissolve away
The saving up for the hope day disappears (get off)

It's funny how when you breathe in
Your mouth opens air goes in
She won't boil using Teflon on her
Should I go and put the kettle on her

Michael's got himself a girlfriend he's a lucky fellow
Katy's top was as white as ever but now it's gone all
Yellow
Malcolm's a bastard and keeps acting like Emperor Nero
Peter is constantly pretending to be a super hero

But what's in a name la la la la
What's in a name la la la la
What's in a name la la la la
What's in a name la la la la

Biting while cutting deep
Makes me end up with a clean sweep
Making all my fears
Completely dissolve away
The saving up for the hope day disappears

The funny man hiding something
Hands me one thing trying not to laugh
Then he gives me news of an epitaph
For the creatures dying in my bath

Tracy is turning and revolving in a city lining
Martin keeps his new Lambretta gleaming and shining
All news has it's way then leaves me staring at my
Pillow
All clouds have a silver lining gleaming and shining

All of the time
On the Siegfried Line

All news has it's way then leaves me staring at my
Pillow
All clouds have a silver lining gleaming and shining
