Momus - Homemade Soup lyrics
[Momus - Homemade Soup lyrics]
Drink it while it's hot, I put in such a lot
Of myself when I cook homemade soup
Some wild grass where we run
The smell of skin in sun
That quail's egg that we found
Beside us on the ground
Some seaweed from the beach
Two slices of dried peach
Bark that skinned your knee
On the eucalyptus tree
Sea, sky, four and twenty blackbirds in a pie
Today I cook homemade soup
Some memories of you some sadness as you go
You smile at me and wave
Drink the soup I made
Some motor oil and rain
Dripping from the train
Just about to leave, taking you away
Add a lemon drop to spicy chicken broth
Drink it while it's good, homemade soup
You, me, an organic recipe
Today we cook homemade soup
Put it in the microwave and press 'reheat'
Keep it in a Thermos flask you can repeat
The same sensations on your tongue
The same impressions in your brain
It almost tastes the same
It almost tastes the same
It almost tastes the same
It never tastes the same
Hope, fear
Clippings of the hair behind your ear
Comfort food, homemade soup
Me, you, chicken stock and tofu cubes
Genetic mushroom dope, hallucogenic hope
Fishheads, tuppence for a quart
Cockles and mussels, a beating human heart
Pink gin, turtles' teeth and shark's fin
Green peas, snowy green peas
Love letters you stashed
Rescued from the trash
All the ink you spilled
Come and drink your fill
Slugs, snails, spider webs and puppy tails
A mushroom and a root, homemade soup
Pour it in a china bowl
With a blue whale on the side
Eat it with a spoon of lapis lazuli
Sensations on your tongue
Impressions in your brain
It almost tastes the same
It almost tastes the same
It almost tastes the same
It never tastes the same
Of myself when I cook homemade soup
Some wild grass where we run
The smell of skin in sun
That quail's egg that we found
Beside us on the ground
Some seaweed from the beach
Two slices of dried peach
Bark that skinned your knee
On the eucalyptus tree
Sea, sky, four and twenty blackbirds in a pie
Today I cook homemade soup
Some memories of you some sadness as you go
You smile at me and wave
Drink the soup I made
Some motor oil and rain
Dripping from the train
Just about to leave, taking you away
Add a lemon drop to spicy chicken broth
Drink it while it's good, homemade soup
You, me, an organic recipe
Today we cook homemade soup
Put it in the microwave and press 'reheat'
Keep it in a Thermos flask you can repeat
The same sensations on your tongue
The same impressions in your brain
It almost tastes the same
It almost tastes the same
It almost tastes the same
It never tastes the same
Hope, fear
Clippings of the hair behind your ear
Comfort food, homemade soup
Me, you, chicken stock and tofu cubes
Genetic mushroom dope, hallucogenic hope

It almost tastes the same
It almost tastes the same
It never tastes the same
