Girt By Piss Lyrics - Singles - Eleventh He Reaches London

Oh, all my boxes of collectable insects 

I've displayed proud in my room 

I 

told my sister, to never let 

My mother throw them out 

They are my gift 

To 

her child 

A reminder 

Of the colour 

Of the love 

And the crime 

That my 

aimless direction 

Was directed to strike 

Flies and locusts, I dressed as 

monarchs 

Sit in thrones in a kingdom of boxes 

I shovelled their guts out, 

trampled their corpses 

And dragged their bodies with oxen 

And I left 

The 

court house 

Under phantom guide 

Of the crescent 

Of the lord 

And his 

lions 

That face toward, (to each other) 

To corner the world 

Gaps between, 

the gaps I slipped through 

Endless chasms and moats of kingdoms 

I hid in the 

bracken, I listened and acted 

I tore the flesh from the bitch on the throne 

I 

was fucking bulimic to words of jesus 

Fucking gospel from science 

reluctants 

I fell in the gaps, the gaps between and 

No one ever told me 

so 

Social dissonance, beds of bracken 

trials and judgements, science 

reluctants 

Social dissonance, beds of bracken 

trials and judgements, science 

reluctants 

Forced dementia, walls of water 

Girt by piss, the waves 

hit 

Ocean spoke to me 

We'll sail together, you'll be deck, I'm here beneath 

you 

Human spoke to sea 

Human spoke to sea 

I'll be your teacher, if you send 

a wave to drown us 

Ocean spoke to me 

So young, depressed and 

inflammable 

For as long as I've been living 

I hated something above my 

height 

Fathers, Monarchs or Government, so I stole 

From innocuous street 

vendors 

I felt like I deserved it all 

I needed worth between my hands 

To 

feel what worth felt like, at all 

As leave in chains so petrified 

I've 

never liked the sea 

Reflecting grinds of unjust woes 

As ocean froth so 

foreign cleanses me 

As I scratch away the face 

Of monarchs on new 

currency 

I'd snap this worthless coin in half 

And drag the ragged edge to 

die 

I woke from dreams about my life 

My Mother's smile and Father's fight 

A 

lack of sympathy for my fellow man 

In this boat I can finally 

Grieve 

Of my 

fate 

Of the life I'll waste 

And the gaps though the system that I fell 

I 

love the world I live in 

but I hate the country I've left 

I'll change you 

Australia 

or I'll leave again with a rope around my neck 

Oh I can be 

brilliant 

and oh I can change 

Oh I'd love to burn the union jack 

and never 

grieve again 

To 

feel what worth felt like, at all 

As leave in chains so petrified 

I've 

never liked the sea 

Reflecting grinds of unjust woes 

As ocean froth so 

foreign cleanses me 

As I scratch away the face 

Of monarchs on new 

currency 

I'd snap this worthless coin in half 

And drag the ragged edge to 

die 

I woke from dreams about my life 

My Mother's smile and Father's fight 

A 

lack of sympathy for my fellow man 

In this boat I can finally 

Grieve 

Of my 

fate 

Of the life I'll waste 

And the gaps though the system that I fell 

I 

love the world I live in 

but I hate the country I've left 

I'll change you 

Australia 

or I'll leave again with a rope around my neck 

Oh I can be 

brilliant 

and oh I can change 

Oh I'd love to burn the union jack 

and never 

grieve again
