lyrics

Glad go their hearts and the start of the coming day
Mother of pearl is the colour of nothing said
But colours are blunt just like the man of madder wild

Call it all out when they call in the calazone
Not so big now when you’re eating it all alone
So raise up a glass, raise up the man of madder wild
He thinks that you’re drunk so he deigns to ask you out

Corn marigold and Martello tower
May fly is how we like to live the hour

The future came and went, past tense and sad about
Marble white arms never asked for a sentiment
But lo! and behold here comes the man of madder wild
He wants you again, dressed for the carnival

Rose of Sharon garlands the gown
Party is started so let’s get it on
Moon size the smile that welcomes us now
All is not over so just be said and done

I was you but you were nothing within that
All day long and never ever to be
In and out of everybody’s pockets
But nothing is when it is asked of you
