Shriekback - And Everything Like That lyrics

Under the time-lapse clouds out on the screen of green I want to see the monsters couple with the wet machine. You are my salad witch that I would love to dress. I do not lack the Wound. I do not lack the Mess. And Everything Like That. It's a granulated thing out the Isle of Grain I want to see the mermaids tussling in the cellophane You took me to the temple and I saw the Snake of Bra**. I worshipped gods I don't believe in then they bit my arse. And Everything Like That. It's a many splendoured thing I'm looking for it still: to sculpt the stone of history -with the hammer of my will. you told me that your Art was something that you'd suffer for. 'that's well and good' I said 'but would you teach yourself to draw?' Or Anything Like That? It's under shadow law I sought my virtue there. I want to stand up on the mountain with my soul laid bare. When all the lilies bloom you'll be in my Song of Songs. I'll be your sugar daddy baby here's the sugar tongs. And Everything Like That. It's a large potato thing I keep looking for the signs I wanna see the aerial view of Sodom once before I die. Be my deliquescent virgin. I'll be your gateway crime. I understand your hesitation please just take your time. And Everything Like That. It's all a mirage the glory that was Rome: I want to ape Tiberius with methedrine and chrome. You are my thunder monkey. You are my baby lamb. I am a simple reptile honey -you know I am. And Everything Like That. It's an avant-gardish thing, they gave me too much rope: I'm doing lolanthe through a stethoscope. I see you wreathed in vapours and striding through the coals. You'll be a Muse of Fire for post-post-modern rock 'n' roll And Everything Like That It's an evanescent thing I waved my fairy wand. I want to rise up glistening from the bottom of the pond. You never liked this nonsense but this is not so wrong. It's sort of funky, sort of weird and moderately long And Everything Like That. this is a Do-Right outro for all night song and it'll fade out slowly before long...
