Hyacints And Thistles




The Dead Only Quickly

Priests and fools say
we are but animate clay,
but rude vessels
housing immortal souls
But the dead only quickly decay
They don’t go about being born and reborn
and rising and falling like sufflé
The dead only quickly decay
It would be swell
to see some folks burn in Hell
But when they go
it’s just as pleasant to know
That the dead only quickly decay...

Lyrics by Stephen Merritt

Hoje reencontrei-me com este cd que me estava a olhar da prateleira.
A voz é do Neil Hannon, o génio do Stephen Merritt sob um dos seus múltiplos disfarces – The 6ths.
