Pigeon-striped with a polyester hat How can he look so nice and feel so sad? “It’s a momentary lapse in sadness Brewed in prudence and gladness” Fret not for the velvet shoe that stalks you Cry a well for all the leather hides That you wear upstairs for kindred brides Another lover bred to love untrue “Is there something else I’d like to say? Efficiency is drenched in dismay Jewelled epaulettes on deafened shoulders Something more incise, I shall solder" Heaven delivered our coal Sat atop a gilded pole Heaven delivered our coal By lawful life, we are loveless moles Ruby-haired and lilac-nailed How can she arouse yet taste so stale? “Hold my vindication in a brooch Open my heart in reproach" Fret not for the saddle in your ‘mare It will take you to a mining town There, you will earn yourself a gown And fall on the soldered stairs “Is there something else I’d like to say? I am to be blackened for my pay Else I resign to a red ribbon And use almighty love as a weapon" Sweet life, what’s to surmise? Moths in the corners of our eyes Writing as a fly in a frame Spot the hideous, spotted dame Watch your place, hold your pace Heaven delivered our coal Sat atop a gilded pole Heaven delivered our coal By lawful life, we are loveless moles

Heaven Delivered Our Coal
Pigeon-striped with a polyester hat How can he look so nice and feel so sad? “It’s a momentary lapse in sadness Brewed in prudence and gladness” Fret not for the velvet shoe that stalks you Cry a well for all the leather hides That you wear upstairs for kindred brides Another lover bred to love untrue “Is there something else I’d like to say? Efficiency is drenched in dismay Jewelled epaulettes on deafened shoulders Something more incise, I shall solder" Heaven delivered our coal Sat atop a gilded pole Heaven delivered our coal By lawful life, we are loveless moles Ruby-haired and lilac-nailed How can she arouse yet taste so stale? “Hold my vindication in a brooch Open my heart in reproach" Fret not for the saddle in your ‘mare It will take you to a mining town There, you will earn yourself a gown And fall on the soldered stairs “Is there something else I’d like to say?

Moths in the corners of our eyes Writing as a fly in a frame Spot the hideous, spotted dame Watch your place, hold your pace Heaven delivered our coal Sat atop a gilded pole Heaven delivered our coal By lawful life, we are loveless moles
