Robyn Hitchcock - The Devil's Coachman lyrics

rate me

Yesterday it seemed so cool and everything was fabulous

Built of brick and made for an eternity

Give an inch and take an inch and what you've got is where you were

The universe is based on sullen entropy

It falls apart as it goes on

Yesterday I saw the Devil in the nude

It was embarrassing, I turned away

He was leering in the mirror when I looked again

Everything you say you won't is what you will eventually

Honesty is money in the cemetery

If he treat you horribly, he's probably a Scorpio

He's a long kebab through your ovaries

The same goes out, the same goes in

Yesterday I saw the Devil in a mood

He wasn't angry, but he stood around

Biting off the legs of all his furry chums

I remember everything as if it happened years ago

Probably it did, so I remember it

You are just your feelings it might give you vertigo

Falling off a high place and into it

And I was into you

Yesterday I saw the Devil in my food

I wasn't hungry but I played with it

Blood red horns gouged through my scrambled (egg)

Yesterday I saw the Devil in my heart

I was expecting him, the doctor came

I have to call the doctor every time we kiss

Yesterday I saw the Devil in our bed

I could have strangled him, I'm English, though

So I made him coffee and I made him toast<br />
