Cardiacs - Spell With A Shell lyrics

It carried its home on its back When it came Saying he was for me a spell Could be good could be bad Soak him in some water And it will be good Or wear him as a shirt for week And call him by a name But bad if I burn him Don't stop now I didn't know you'd be growing wings This is how long you'll stay alive Don't! Stop it! You're my only friend yeah Right, so now I give your name "Baz" How does that sound? How is it so far? Are you good to me yet? Or are you bad to me? On a quiet night Put him on the fire There There Only because I don't want him to burn Elsewhere Don't stop now I didn't know you'd be growing wings This is how long you'll stay alive Don't! Stop it! You're my only friend yeah
