Текст песни The Everso Closely Guarded Line - Cardiacs

One day
In a different way
I will give myself a role in this petrifying life
Walking and breathing water never be the same

Try a new scheme
A man's machine
And I try at my best
And I try giving all I can and hold it to
The window of the world closing my eyes

One day
In a definite way, I
Will test the heat of the water with everything in sight
I mean until I am full as an egg ready to burst

Try a new scheme
With a man's machine
With an insight to try and I try at my best
And I try as I cry as I listen to the bustle of the day passing me by

There is life in me left
To strike a blow for effect

Still born goes the everso closely guarded line

One day
In a different way, I
Will give myself a role in this petrifying life
Walking and breathing water never be the same
Try a new scheme
With a man's machine
With an insight to try and I try at my best
And I try as I cry as I listen to the bustle of the life passing me by
There is life in me left
To strike a blow for effect

Still born goes the everso closely guarded line
