Stevie Taite - Autumn's Waking Mutants! lyrics

When Autumn knocks and hangs his leafy coat up by the door Drifting slowly in and leaving footprints on the floor He drags along behind him his dormant pathogens The central heating shakes them and their Summer slumber ends We as humble humans stand to play the perfect host A feast we serve the growing hoards, with medicines we toast. The apex of the predators, so dominant are we But every year stopped in our tracks by things we cannot see We dropp like flies from offices, and schools have empty chairs A mutant generation catch our white cells unawares We are lucky if the Autumn leaves us free from snotty noses And come the Spring we're thankful when the door on Winter closes.
