Not a Word Lyrics by Naevus

Time Again

2020

[Verse 1]
Let’s have a languid start
A long, exhausted aitch
Mistaking content for actual life
A trail of discarded subscriptions
They cannot add, that’s not a word
Home office, oyster cabin, lying in state
Get by and ameliorate
Audit, avert, attract, abandon
Rivulet, revel, oval, ovula
That character was part
Of the wheel at the back of the wagon
But let us find a way to a rousing finale
[Chorus]
I cannot display
Any of the traits that they say
Would make a man appear to be human
And I cannot show
Any of the traits that they know
Would make a human being seem a man
[Verse 2]
A smirking Saint Peter
An electricity meter
Gastral, astral, searing bodily pain
I carry a category upon my back
Skidding across thе freeway
I don’t want to play on the water
Heavеn is failing
An unreachable gulf
There are no angels or devils
Such tomfoolery
And perfumery
The baker’s oven, the dirty face
[Chorus]
I cannot display
Any of the traits that they say
Would make a man appear to be human
And I cannot show
Any of the traits that they know
Would make a human being seem a man
[Outro]
Everything was hidden away
In a garden that got no sun
His body was made of meat and vapours
And one shrunken claw
Left gathering ropes and things
Left sitting out of London
On roads and things
