A Game for Bertie’s Party Lyrics by Cardiacs

Rarities

They've tucked me in and left me and I lie here in the gloom
The lights are on the landing but switched off in my room
There are shadows in the corner and the thingies in my head
Grin callously sly and slimy
To my bed as they crawl under
Rather be seen than not heard now
Although I've been left to be here all on my own
Why can't you stay with me till I'm sleeping
Late night black delirium I'm too hot for an answer
Dinner can't be spoiled
The mouses in my garden used to grow so big and strong
But now my mouses wither cause they know where they belong
I had a little gnomie little plastic figurine
And when I wasn't looking he was nowhere nowhere to be seen
Rather be seen than not heard now
Although I've been left to be here all on my own
Although I do as I'm told, Although I am as good as good as gold
Why can't you stay with me till I'm sleeping
Late night black delirium I'm too hot for an answer
Dinner can't be spoiled
I just can't understand although I try and try
It's just totally beyond my comprehension
I just can't understand although I try and try
It's just totally beyond my comprehension
It's not as if I try to please I only try to please it's not as if I try
Say hello to me everyday make it clear you know I'm here until I go away
Exhibitionist Dandy Extrovert try my best to be the same as you or them
If I had lots of rabbits I would let them wander free
Cause then the prickly hedgehogs would never bother me
Tiny mice at playtime in their little cages how I like them
