lyrics

I'm on my way, I won't let you stay
open my heart and soak it in
I know these eyes, they lie and disguise
furrowed and blind, I'm a newborn

I want all my wildest secrets told to children alone
They might light a fire inside their minds

There must be a hole inside his head, inside his heart,
inside his soul, his soul is perforated, flapping in the wind
Like a dove, or like a pigeon who is nervously intended
on the crumbs beneath your feet to find the nutrients he needs

Glowing inside, hallowed and alive
watching the whites of their wandering eyes
We must abide, even idolize
for all we know it's a new world

and I want all my wildest secrets told to children alone
They might light a fire inside their minds

There must be a hole inside his head, inside his heart,
inside his soul, his soul is perforated, flapping in the wind
Like a dove, or like a pigeon who is nervously intended
on the crumbs beneath your feet to find the nutrients he needs

Instrumental Music 1
by Craig Fortnam

supported by 8 fans who also own “The Whites”

Craig Fortnam is well known for being the creative mastermind behind names like "Shrubbies", "North Sea Radio Orchestra", "Arch Garrison", and, well, "Craig Fortnam", of course. He's from the big family of musicians and composers revolving around the cult band "Cardiacs", all of which share some undeniable and hard-to-describe common quality in their songwriting. "Instrumental Music 1" is quite some unspecific title for the wide range of unique avantgarde tracks he has released only recently. Sven B. Schreiber (sbs)
