Momus - Minty Fresh lyrics

When that I was but a little tiny boy With a heigh ho the wind and the rain Minty Fresh was my only joy For the rain it rained every day Papas Fritas, The Cardigans, Komeda The Legendary Jim Ruiz Group Anthony and Jim gave me hours of pleasure With their record label Minty Fresh A mortal dare not look upon The creatures of the night The goblin foul, the horned toad The vicious little sprite Ariel is the name I bear On the bat black night I fly I'll have music wherever I go Till Phoebus 'gins a rise The gods, my friends, smile down on us The wheel of fortune turns We shall be spared the plague and the clap When the fire of London burns We see the skull beneath the skin The eldritch empty eyes And if we let the music stop We'd soon be paralysed But with bells on our fingers And bells on our toes We'll ring a tune when we mop and mow Heigh ho the wind and the rain Let us play these disks again and again The Sugarplastic, Melony Doctor Kosmos, Veruca Salt The Orange Peels, Kahimi Karie The Aluminum Group and all We fear the monsters of the night The hump-backed whale, the Caliban brute We stand in awe where they stand tall The flibbertigibbet and the rawhead spook When I was but a little tiny boy Green grow the rushes o Where the bee s**ed there s**ed I In a parsnip's bell I'd lie Ring in the summer, boys, bring in the wheat Let us laugh in the face of d**h We'll dance and feast all night tonight To the sounds of Minty Fresh
