Momus - The Birdcatcher lyrics
[Momus - The Birdcatcher lyrics]
After the ritual suicide of Mr Mickey Mouse
On his outrageous throne of
Blood in Cinderella's House
On the blue suburban line I
Met a careless god
Past the pines by the glassy meadow
Where the coaches jerk a little
The birdcatcher of Hades took his
Net of flesh and bone
The headless horse was talking
On the kitten's telephone
In the house of horrors I
Had recently burnt down
It was a stormy night for the tartan
Babes on a rocky mountain track
When a Bonnie Prince Charlie car
Commercial went shooting back
And the cast members at Disneyland
Were all electric with anger
I could just about hear my Walkman
Playing Mantovani through the thunder
The birdcatcher of Hades with his
Book of gold and straw
Eros lends Massacre assistance with the saw
First blood of little girls
A cupboard where you hide
Pause at Charlie Chaplin's fountain
Climb across a cardboard mountain
Dr Selbert Lanolin and his
Troope of chimpanzees
Who plan to take the world
Over with a television series
Have found the gene
Responsible for Scientology
It was a stormy night for the tartan
Babes on a rocky mountain track
When a Bonnie Prince Charlie car
Commercial went shooting back
And the cast members at Disneyland
Were all electric with anger
I could just about hear my Walkman
Playing Mantovani through the thunder
On his outrageous throne of
Blood in Cinderella's House
On the blue suburban line I
Met a careless god
Past the pines by the glassy meadow
Where the coaches jerk a little
The birdcatcher of Hades took his
Net of flesh and bone
The headless horse was talking
On the kitten's telephone
In the house of horrors I
Had recently burnt down
It was a stormy night for the tartan
Babes on a rocky mountain track
When a Bonnie Prince Charlie car
Commercial went shooting back
And the cast members at Disneyland
Were all electric with anger
I could just about hear my Walkman
Playing Mantovani through the thunder
The birdcatcher of Hades with his
Book of gold and straw
Eros lends Massacre assistance with the saw
First blood of little girls
A cupboard where you hide
Pause at Charlie Chaplin's fountain
Climb across a cardboard mountain
Dr Selbert Lanolin and his
Troope of chimpanzees
Who plan to take the world
Over with a television series
Have found the gene
Responsible for Scientology
It was a stormy night for the tartan
Babes on a rocky mountain track
When a Bonnie Prince Charlie car
Commercial went shooting back
And the cast members at Disneyland
Were all electric with anger
I could just about hear my Walkman
Playing Mantovani through the thunder
