51 Trumpets

Words by Simon Neil

People are meat
And they fall down stairs
They’re contagious and
Fuck-all else
Objects have feelings
And they do what they’re told
Except in a kitchen or
On a stadium tour

There are 37 trumpets on the garden wall
And I don’t have the lungs for that
There’s 14 missing from the usual set
And I might have to take it back

Take it or leave it
Or picture the square
Take a wrong turn and all
You’ll discover us there

There are 37 trumpets on the garden wall
And I don’t have the lungs for that
There’s 14 missing from the usual set
And I might have to take it back

Take the wrong turn
You’ll discover us there
Crack in our skulls and
Sleepless we’ll play
