lyrics

Dandruff epaulets, dinner badges, prayer flags and predictive text
I’m a man of the world all right, but not this one, nor the next
All at once the heavens opened, queued for hours but could not get in
Songs of indolence and expedience, who is making that terrible din?

I am not Spartacus officer, it’s him with the dimple there
Take him away centurion, love what you’ve done with your hair
Always walk on the sunny side, springtime in the valley of death
Watch my shadows run so fast, they will chase and catch your breath

John the Evangelist told John the Divine
Who heard it from some demons driven from swine
Then John the Baptist told John the Revelator
Who performed a little mime to explain it to me later

Sound of one hand clapped in irons, don’t I get no Huckleberry friend?
Out of step with the music of time, we arise as it descends
Feckless & affectless, 'neath a half-mast sky
Just another hipster doofus, hawking three chords and lies

I am not Spartacus officer, it’s him with the dimple there
Take him away centurion, love what you’ve done with your hair
Always walk on the sunny side springtime in the valley of death
See my shadows run so fast. They will chase and catch your breath

John the Evangelist told John the Divine
Who heard it from some demons driven from swine
Then John the Baptist told John the Revelator
Who performed a little mime to explain it to me later

Saul of Tarsus gave Jesus Christ
Some dinosaur eggs for his breakfast one day
He painted them up like christmas presents
And that’s how we got Easter they say
Now they’re making love to the morning light
Making love to the dark, making love to the night
Making love to measure, making love while you wait
Making love to your curtains and the garden gate
