Spell With A Shell Lyrics by Cardiacs

Guns

0

It carried its home on its back
When it came
Saying he was for me (a spell)
Could be good could be bad
Soak him in some water
And it will be good
Or wear him as a shirt for a week
And call him by a name
But bad if I burn him

Don't stop now I didn't know you'd be
​growing wings this is how long you'll stay alive don't! stop it!
You're my only friend yeah

Right! so now I give your name ...'Baz'
How does that sound?
How is it so far?
Are you good to me yet?
Ohh. Oh. Mm
Or are you bad to me?
(on a quiet night put him on the fire)
​there...
​there...
(only because I don't want him to burn elsewhere)

Don't stop now I didn't know you'd be
​growing wings this is how long you'll stay alive don't! stop it!
You're my only friend yeah
