Текст песни Victory Egg - Cardiacs

"What's there to lose?" said the general
Selling out dead meat by the pound
Accidents of existence will make us all feel duty-bound
To send along their one or two
Pursue a new curriculum
With stinky fingers, takes a chair
Tum-tee-tum-tee-tum-tum-tum

A door is opened up for me
I think again and then decline
The need be not so great if all this end in perfect peace of mind
Who'd consider childish dreams a matter of necessity?
I almost drew myself to the point of my life's expectancy
I'll break off all your charms, this world
Her egg will burst, then will I ride
A man who calls his own true thinking it's so good to be alive
Says if these are the best, what are the rest to be like?
As for me, I struggle with words of wisdom
Accusing it's you, it's me, it's him you see

For all I know it's coming fast to colonize my infancy
The space is clean but in between it's coloured with anxiety
The failing clause is victory, complete with words it's hard to see
That after all it's over and I'll win supreme variety

A friend indeed is all I need to show me to an open door
I can only trust myself, I should have thought of that before
Pay me the catch before I'm undone
I will give myself to the war

For all I know it's coming fast to colonize my infancy
The space is clean but in between it's coloured with anxiety
The failing clause is victory, complete with words it's hard to see
That after all it's over and I'll win supreme variety
