Lyrics
Original
Translation
Bilingual
In the broadcast cinema
With the monologue bureaucrats
The demolition king is holding court
Another mannequin sanctified
With a criminal hand to hold
Better burn some holes in these reports
You can sue the coroner
She's a foreigner too
But any drafted cranium will do
When there's a gash in the cocoon
Goodbye my home sweet home
Hello wet sleeping bag
I wish I had an axe
For every bloody tomb
There's a gash in the cocoon
ย
The cavalry has vertigo
All memories are classified
And the rats forgot to build a fort
From the walls of Jericho
To the stalls at the riverbank
I can play the trumpet like a horse
You can blame the corporals
Blame a couple corpses too
'Cause any drafted cranium will do
When there's a gash in the cocoon
Goodbye my home sweet home
Hello wet sleeping bag
I wish I had an axe
For every bloody tomb
There's a gash in the cocoon
For all the bombs in Belfast town
Oblivion cocktail certified
Yeah the perfect storm will run off course
Soul stars of slavery
Jesus and the casualties
Swinging on the alligator porch
You can sing a sadder song
But who would ever trust you?
But any drafted cranium will do
When there's a gash in the cocoon
Goodbye my home sweet home
Hello wet sleeping bag
I wish I had an axe
For every bloody tomb
There's a gash in the cocoon
