Lyrics Robyn Hitchcock

Robyn Hitchcock

The Devils Coachman

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 wasn7t 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

-Just as I fell 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 haave to call the doctor every time we kiss
