lyrics

I went into Europe
To see what I could do
But I could not do all that much
Because I died fifty years ago

You see
I'm a ghost
Oh yes
Somewhere in Italy

And when the need arises
And someone is in trouble
I can't do anything
Because I am not there

If only I hadn't lit that match
Down that coal mine I might still be alive
I did put two plus two together
But I came out with five (and third degree burns (and I was dead))

So when a person comes along
And says "Help, I need cash"
I long to rush across
But with no legs I cannot dash

The way some people stop and stare
And pet dogs and cats bark
I swear that they can see me
And then they walk straight through me

It never hurts (I wish it would hurt (but it doesn't))
Blood never spurts (I have no blood you see)
And I go shopping (but only window shopping)

about

Tundra Cats Brighton, UK

Tundra Cats make the world inexorably better, like a perpetual present made up of one continually changing apocalypse. Or something like that. A very slack band.

This is the first in a series of weekly album reviews published by Andrew Dubber. If you haven’t already caught it, please check out his introductory post.
