I used to think it glad while at my country seat

Now I'm peaking in so many ways

the gloom is in retreat

Yeah the dark epoch is over I've found my efeblum

Then passed Ernst's mausoleum defended by a rook

Who shot a look so virulent it pierced me like a hook

The palaver of Solipsists exploding in my skull

Yeah and we both despise all of the academic swine

Who made the author of "Discus Ulysses" benign?

So what if Wednesday finds us

Wearing rabies parachutes

Foaming like the melody of sea foam fairy flutes

The atmosphere is viscous we're sticking to the brine

Yeah and we both despise all of the academic swine

Who made the author of "Discus Ulysses" benign?

When the lanterns fill with finches

So begins the brawl

Their brains are like porcupines

And mine's a paper ball

When the lanterns fill with finches

So begins the brawl

Their brains are like porcupines

And mine's a paper ball

I know they don't understand they don't get us at all

Their moss mangles polyanthus

And mine's a paper ball
