No Bright Side

There is no bright side
There is no bright side!

While mother keepest
Watch while and weepest
Till memories crowd

And father mourneth
Absence his burneth
Grief will cry aloud

And no-one lives
The spores have landed
There is no bright side

Silence is golden
Even my spirit sleeps in my open hands

Wettened every flap of england's flag
Proclaimed that all around are free
And millions earthly joy remains
Fiery sparks, the eye of breaking hearts
Producing to mind in every shape and kind
Produce the mind

Had no idea, no-one did, make it quick
And I don't want to hurt
She is my witness
One more stab and its back to the shop
Or leave as things are

Cardiacs

Day is gone
Cardiacs

Dirty boy
Cardiacs

Vain deceit of grief
Show of unbelief
Hope to blind and brief

Hide my beloved
Death is passed
Again no more to me

Had no idea, no-one did, make it quick
And I don't want to hurt
She is my witness
One more stab and its back to the shop
Or leave as things are
