The Cumming of Saint Paint




Track 1 Artwork

1. Coming Back Slowly (Night Version)

Break into the backroom
See a mural of myself
Sketched in charcoal and then oil
With a code and link to buy
Fuck QAnon and my ex-wife
Haven’t seen her in a while
Smelt a stranger vape granola
Wondered if her dog has died
Then I see her in the night
Painting me but as a child
He’s coming back
He’s coming back
He’s coming back

There’s a Neolithic pathway
On a ley line near a church
Where I sell oranges to cabbages
Oh why? It never works
That’s why I’m always in the dirt
Feel it heavy in my blood
I work the garden of the hospice
Where my family goes to rot
Singing alleluia what
What the fuck is all this shit
I was promised milk and honey
But there’s nothing make it stop
There’s a holiness in nothing
And from the hole there is a seed
He’s coming back
He’s coming back
He’s coming back

Pretend the government is governing
Daguerreotype me as
I tell the president that I am him
He’ll sentence me to life
I sense in all of you a light
So if you feel it let it shine
And shun the aliens in armouries
With artificial minds
I’m in the desert getting high
I’m making adverts on the side
He’s coming back
He’s coming back
He’s coming back
He’s coming back
He’s coming back
He’s coming

2. Vanishing Man (Night Version)

Vanishing man
A guitar on his back
Making love to the future
Making peace with the past
Nothing was fake
He said God's in the lake
Always pushing me sideways
As we'd walk by the edge
Push the darkness away
Push the darkness away
Push the dark dark dark
Darkness away

Vanishing man
Said he’d go to Iraq
Said he rally the troops there
And fight the US
And when we were ten
He'd tell stories of Zen
All of this had to happen
So he packed up and left
Fight the darkness away
Fight the darkness away
Fight the dark dark dark
Darkness away

And when he came back
He’d a gun in his hand
And from ceiling to floorboards
Was the smell of black paint
And the air was cement
And his voice was an axe
Cried if Jesus can’t save me
Then nobody can
Wash the darkness away
Wash the darkness away
Wash the dark dark dark
Darkness away

3. When The Boat Comes In

You will have a fishy
On a little dishy
You will have a fishy
When the boat comes in

Dance to your daddy
My little laddie
Dance to your daddy
My bonny lad

Dance to your daddy
Sing to your mummy
Dance to your daddy
My bonny lad

You will have fish
You will have a fin
You will have mackerel
When the boat comes in

Dance to your daddy
My little laddie
Dance to your daddy
My bonny lad

Dance to your daddy
Sing to your mummy
Dance to your daddy
My bonny lad

You will have a family
You will have a wife
Swimming like the fishes
Love them all your life

Dance to your daddy
My little laddie
Dance to your daddy
My
bonny lad

Dance to your daddy
Sing to your mummy
Dance to your daddy
My bonny lad

When you're dead and buried
They will all be singing
We will be together
When the boat comes in

When the boat comes in
When the boat comes in
We will be together
When the boat comes in

Dance to your daddy
My little laddie
Dance to your daddy
My bonny lad

Dance to your daddy
Sing to your mummy
Dance to your daddy
Til the boat comes in

4. How Wonderful

How Wonderful

My lover who's soul lives in aspic
Old woman from yesteryear
A beauty queen

My lover a forest forever
It's growing in the all cracks we left
How wonderful such a thing is

My lover forever in aspic
Our winter I can't believe
I can't believe it

Oh why am I drowning and waiting
You told me the thing I knew before I was born

How wonderful
How wonderful

5. The Internet (Night Version)

Got a man growing out of my head
Like an 80s movie special effect
On the dandy dollar so I’m huffing on debt
You know

It's a big one
I see it rippling
I feed the NSA my diet Coca Cola
Plugged in the motherland
I see it and I know

Roll with it
Attitude
Alien
Murder my mind
All the way
The internet

Emily
Getting high
What a waste
I'm already gone
Over it
The internet

Got my baby so I'm not sad
Got a rose in a picture under my bed
God I want dream so
I fall asleep
I fall asleep
I fall asleep

Thought I'm a real one
And so I wrote it down
I’m on
the radio I'll never get older
Now at the finish line
I want let it go

I got away
For a while
Heavenly
For a minute
Then again
The internet

Suicide
Terrorists
Everything
All you ever loved
Back again
The internet

Assimilate
Assimilate
A simile
A simile
A hurricane
On Tatooine
On ketamine
On Halloween

The four of spades
I dig a grave
I lie in it
I meditate
I did it wrong
I did it right
I do believe
I do believe

The stadium
The radio
The railway
And the hospital
The supermarket
Trolley parking
Housing and its limousines

The melody
The memories
I love my friends
And family
And everything is beautiful
And that’s the way it’s supposed to be

I
Got away
For a while
Alone with him
For a second
Disconnect
The internet

Hyper-cringe
Autism
Emily
Staring at the sun
Turn to dust
Turn to dust
Turn to dust

Though I live in the River Man’s hut
Gotta roll gotta roll just to put the flame out
He's a bad bad man
And he's living in lilac oh
(I got that)

I got that
Roll with it
Attitude

I got that
Roll with it
Attitude
(Yah)
(Woo)

I got you
Emily
Emily
Emily
Emily
Oo oo oo
Oo oo oo
Oo oo oo
I’m already gone
Emily
Emily
Emily
I’m already gone
(I’m already gone)
I’m already gone
I’m already
(Oh oh oh oh oh)

6. Beauty

Shorty was a big big bad
Stupid chemical crap
Everything’s fatal man
There’s beauty in the way I am

Shorty was a piece of cake
Running up to meet her there
But I caught a terrible cold
I don’t know where anything goes
But that’s the only way I know
Get you a boy who can
I I am
There’s beauty in the way I am

Sunset from the eyes of sun
Beauty for the mammal mind
Beauty in the river runs
Ah ah that’s the note
I recognise it from
The song ah ah
That I know
Ooo ooo ooo
Faces of the beauty fair
I’m running up to meet you
there
I I am
I'll hold you while I can

Shorty was a piece of ass
I’ll say anything to be a man
But I don’t know where anything goes
Beauty in the great unknown

She screaming at me I want more
Saying gimie gimie gimie your glance
But that’s not what I call love
Beauty when I say I can’t
I I I am
I I I oo

Shorty was a pitch black car
Beauty was a man on mars
A fat Romanian cat
Is holding up a mirror to God

Gonna marry your beautiful daughter

I take your heart
And I hold it
And I hold it
