Intro: Am F (x2) G

C
When our mouths are filled
F
with uninvited tongues of others
C
And the strays are pining
F
for their unrequited mothers
C G
Milk that sours is promptly spat
Am F
Light will fill our eyes like cats

C F
And they shall enter from the back
C
With spears and scepters and squirming sacks
G
Scribs and tangles between their ears
Am
Faceless scrumbled charcoal smears
F ( C )
...oh dear...

Through the coppice and the chaparral
The thickets thick with mold
The bracken and the brier
Am F Am F
Catchweed into the fold

(whistle solo)

When our mouths are filled
