Fish - Credo Lyrics
(dick/simmonds/boult/usher)I watch the tv every night,I stay awake by satellite,I hope and pray the nightmares,Stay away today.An oily shroud on a coral reef,A black clouds hanging over me.When I hit on the remote,The programmes stay the same.Credo, credo, credo, credo.An assegai slick with sweat and blood,A shotgun barks at a rabid dog,A shallow grave hugs a highway,Beneath a bleaching sun.Chorus:Credo, credo, credo, credo,It dont mean nothin; it dont mean nothinIt dont mean nothin; it dont mean nothin to me.When cancer sucks a young girls breast.When a company chains a young mans soulWhen the coal dust stoleMy grandads breath away.(chorus)A tattered tramp tacks a windy wynd,To close a crowded circle a braziers light,A man becomes a mountain, in the falling snow.A mother screams and a baby cries.The memory gone before the blood has dried.A needle pricks the conscience,To help it fade away.(chorus)The more you scream, the less you hear,Or thats how it used to be.But I just cant tell the differenceAnymore these days.The open lips of an alter[1] boy,A planet spins in a silent void,The options are ever fewerOn the ground these days(chorus)[1] sic. is this supposed to be altar? this is how it appears on the lyric sheet.
