Bored holes through our tongues
To sing a song about it
Held a breath for too long
Till we’re half sick about it
Tell us what we did wrong
Then you can blame us for it
Turn the clamps on our thumbs
We’ll sew a doll about it
and other stories

Bored holes through our tongues
To sing a song about it
Held a breath for too long
Till we’re half sick about it
Tell us what we did wrong
Then you can blame us for it
Turn the clamps on our thumbs
We’ll sew a doll about it

Funny thing, the harder i try to understand Andrew´s lyrics, the more obscure they get, but at the same time, the more i love them. Sometimes it seems like he´s just using the surrealists or the dadaists method for writing, but i guess at some level they all make sense. One theme that you could more or less consider as recurrent, is physiology and anatomy.
