Lyrics Coil - Broccoli

When I was about 9, my stepfather - we lived in Germany at the time - he took me to the dam which is featured in the film "The Dam Bursters," with... the bouncing bombs destroyed it, and flooded this valley, and he dangled me over this dam by my... the clothes I was wearing. And then when he put me back on the ground again, he hit me, because I started crying. Never figured that one out, really.

I am shivering, constantly, with you in mind.

So I'm dedicating this song to my stepfather, who I do not get on with. And to my father, and to my stepfather's father, who is in the British Raj, and to his father, who probably did the same things to him that he did to my stepfather who then did them to me. All with a twist of warfare within. All with a little twist of warfare within.

Wise words from the departing:
Eat your greens, especially broccoli.
Remember to say "thank you" for the things you haven't had.
By working the soil we cultivate the sky.
We embrace vegetable kingdom.

Wise words from the departing:
Eat your greens, especially broccoli.
Always wear sensible shoes.

The death of the mother, the death of the father,
Is something you prepare for
For all of their life,
For all of your lives.
The death of the father, the death of the mother,
Is something you prepare for
For all of your lives.

By working the soil you cultivate heaven,
You cultivate the sky,
And enter a vegetable kingdom
Of your own making.
You enter a vegetable kingdom of your own making.
Of your own making.
By working the soil you'll enter heaven.
By working the soil you'll dig your way to heaven.
You'll dig your way to heaven.
You'll dig your way to heaven.
You'll dig your way to heaven.
You'll dig your way to heaven.
You'll dig your way to heaven.
You'll dig your way to heaven.
You'll dig your way to heaven.
Dig your way to heaven.
Dig your way to heaven.
Dig your way to heaven.
Dig your way to heaven.
Dig your way to heaven.
Dig your way to heaven.
Dig your way to heaven.
Dig your way to heaven.
Dig your way to heaven.
Dig your way to heaven.
Dig your way to heaven.
You'll dig your way to heaven.
You'll dig your way to heaven.
And remember to say "thank you," especially for the things you never had.
Especially for the things you never had.
Especially for the things you never had.
