Cardiacs - Loosefish Scapegrace lyrics

Rigid license severity To drain the cup of misery Put dirty water in their tea Join them to the armies What do the acts do they perform In institution uniform Pay in the price to pay for day To spill or fritter away Loosefish bad egg sad lot scapegrace All my magnitude stops the irons entering my soul Here I stand and I can and I like it Rigid license severity To drain the cup of misery Put dirty water in their tea Join them to the armies Rigid license severity Graceless is the place to be To drain the cup of misery To the dregs the only place to be I'm a man seeing if I can be a bigger man And be the big world holder And wear it on my shoulder Confiscate all the hearts and minds of all human kind And give a daring operation To deflect all life's afflictions Nastiness disease squandermania prevails Loosefish bad egg sad lot scapegrace Here I stand and I can and I like it To have no being be the null and void To be no more leave no rack behind So I dissolve away So to be such stuff as dreams are made Rigid license severity Graceless is the place to be To drain the cup of misery To the dregs the only place to be Nastiness and diseases will Choose me any path it pleases I don't sleep I die My bed is always closing in on me I desolve Void Vacuum Goosegash (?)
