 Rate When I Was Dead
Artist : Robyn Hitchcock & The Egyptians
Song : When I Was Dead
When I was dead I wore a strong perfume
When I
was dead I never left the room
-- and I saw the
apples hanging, like moments in the orchard
--
But falling into action, the moment soon is
over -- no returns
When I was dead I wasn't
interested in sex
I didn't even care what
happened next
I was free as a penny whistle,
and silent as the glove
I wasn't me to speak
of, just a thousand ancient feelings
That
vanished into nothing -- into love
When I
was dead somebody took my hand (When I was
dead)
I couldn't see his face I took his hand
(I couldn't see...)
And the Devil asked me to
supper -- he said
"Careful with the
spoons!"
And God said "Oh, ignore him! I've
got all your albums"
I said "Yes, but who's
got all the tunes?"
When I was
dead
When I was dead
When I was
dead
When I was dead
