Lyrics from: Cardiacs Lyrics Organ (http://www.dept74.pwp.blueyonder.co.uk/lyrics_organ/)
G Eb F Eb G Eb F Eb
Choosing my resources at random endeavours
G Eb Ab Db
As the fool thinks so the bell clinks
Gb Cb
Fall for my own pain
E B E B Db Ab
There's a tiny step from the sublime to the ridiculous
E B Eb Ab
Thoroughly related which one am I?
Ab E Gb E Ab E Gb E
So much to be learned from this new age of reason
Ab E A D
This is what it shouts and screams
G C
Loudly into my ear
F C F C
Every single man he has a fool in his sleeve
D A F
Whether he wants it there or not
C E A
It breeds sanity
[CHORUS]
Am D A G
One step above the sublime it amounts
C D E
To the feeling inside Jon rejects
Am D A Dm
Jon rejects every feeling inside, step above
G D C F
The sublime to the ridiculous
Am D A G
Dismissing thoughts in a head he refuse
C D E
To accept taking logic within
Am D A G
Within logic within everything he refuse
Cm F Cm F
He fears his creepiest thoughts
[only bass for the first part]
Stupid soldier he's falling shot without purpose
Stupid soldier shot at random
Dies without respect
E B E B Db Ab
Where's the harm in that? He should have kept a sane mind after all
E B Eb Ab
How can he be trusted after he dies?
Ab E Gb E Ab E Gb E
Level head sat proudly on the wisest shoulders
Ab E A D
Stares an eyefull toward his sister
G C
Smiles a wiliest smile
F C F C D A
Isn't life a wheeze when treasure's in the trees and I possess
F C E A
Longer arms than you or anyone else?
(CHORUS)
Am D A G
One step above the sublime it amounts
C D E
To the feeling inside Jon rejects
Am D A Dm
Jon rejects every feeling inside, step above
G D C F
The sublime to the ridiculous
Am D A G
Dismissing thoughts in a head he refuse
C D E
To accept taking logic within
Am D A Dm
Within logic within everything he refuse
G D C F
He believe in a thoughts and a laughter
Db Eb
Will reign
