[Lyric] Hope Day Surbiton (Cardiacs)

[Intro, Tim's prattle]
1, 2, 3, 4
...
This is called Hope Day
Hope Day

[Verse 1]
Don't pity me
My sun shines only for me
Occasionally gives me hope
For the day I've always wanted

I know the part that's never learned by anyone-two
So stick it up your arse by the left, Mr Soldier
I'm safer on my own when you go
Home, you'll all be in boxes so
Piss on you, fighters right or wrong

[Verse 2]
Look at me now
Wow, I'm impressed
You'll see when you
See me on the beach
See me on the beach
See me on the, beach, it, gives, mе
Hope for the day I always wanted
[Bridge 1]
Uniform a man of action
Uniform a man of action
Blamе him to save blaming me, I can't quite reach him

Seeing is believing, but it never bloody occurred to me!

[Verse 3]
I feel as high as the moon
But never mind it's hope day soon
It's plain to see I'm only bluffing
Man of action, see him suffering
Dead men tell no tales, it seems that... I'm halfway home?

[Bridge 2]
Blame him to save blaming me
And hurting someone pointlessly is
As easy as (ABC!)
So carve me out an effigy

[Instrumental]

[Outro]
Passive action leaves no traces
Dead soldiers with silly faces
Mr "S" holds all the aces
Playing games and winning races
My soldier I kill you though I
Love you more than all the world
The thought of dying makes me ill
I'm scared because I want to kill
So blame him to save blaming me
And hurting someone pointlessly is
As easy as ABC
So carve me out an effigy
