Cardiacs - Helen and Heaven lyrics

Helen and Heaven Earth sea and shore Says even less than says even more than Is hearable anyway even for Sandy Life in my ankles lives in my hands Own minds for nothing 'cept laying of Sandys pit Lies in a field that is nearer than handy Space for approval plenty of room Join me in closedown sink into gloom Watching window see all of the news of the day and Life without anger life without fear Own minds for nothing helped with ideas But the mouth I was feeding was sick on my hand Waters voice and wind as one Quake their call to Moon and Sun Sovereign stars and throws of light Pale before her queenly mighty ankles Life in her ankles lives in my hands Says even less than what even can Stands in bold in my eyes Finally accepting deterioration Strange men and women Allowing themselves to be shot at the same time All hope and fear by night and day forever pine away And every leaf that plumes her touch Sails from branch to sink in dust Hooray!
