Going by the lyrics, it starts out with a lot of stress and maybe panic. It calms down as the lyric progresses, ending calmly. However, later live versions (from at least 1989 - forward) had the last part "When they who to the sea go down" sounding more like a Church Organ.

But the world hates me!" 2:29 - 2:38: Time to die... No choice. But at this point, does it matter? 2:38 - 3:01: They in the massive sea, they do not see.

@@SaintBeatrix I don't care if you or anybody thinks that we Cardiacs fans sound pretentious or otherwise...this music is extremely special to us and we are allowed to express our gratitude and love for Tim's music. No apologies from me. Also, nonsensical is a term used for music that isn't well composed or random BS, which is is the furthest from the truth in Cardiacs. Tim was acutely aware of every single measure of his music, every modulation, every rhythm and time signature, every harmony, etc etc.

Your integrity holds you together ("What's it like, flying high? I've a cone for a beak, but the tar makes me cry; that holds me together, tarred and feathered.") but the rest of the world thinks you should have been plunged in lava a long time ago.

I thought it was a spoof at first and had to watch it back a few times until I could confirm it was a work of brilliance

The sigh at the end says it all. Tim Smith, the 'Tony Benn' of music, brilliant, deluded, genius, unappreciated but unlike Wedgie, still with us............Get well soon Tim

Their fans act like the whole "Primus sucks" thing, but not with those words. Cardiacs also predate Primus by 7 years, and they were doing the "Abusive Consultant of the Alphabet Business Concern" thing in 1984, when Primus first formed.

If I ever form a band, we're going to perform this. On repeat. For 45 mins. And no other songs.

:-) There's an entire little world behind that looking glass. I think you're meant to take the red pill and not the blue one, but I might have forgotten which. Fortunately there's always an *Everso Closely Guarded Line* to follow. kzbin.info/www/bejne/bGKmmpaleMysmpI

I can't read the comment above, so I'll just say, you might also want to listen to Trout Mask Replica. Not to disrespect Cardiacs, I have two of their album re-releases, but TMR also deserves a spot in the Bizarre topic.

Very sad. Saw them a few times in the late 1980,s and last playing in a muddy tent at Reading Festival 1992. Top notch live band as well as being very amusing with it. RIP Tim. You really were a one off.

Found out about them two years ago or so...was stunned that I'd never heard of them as they are/were exactly the sort of thing I normally listen to. Yes, the world has lost a genius who created his own musical world in a way that few ever have. Prior to this current age of musical sameness there were a LOT of artists with their own unique style...Smith made his own unique GENRE. Can't think of too many who did THAT.

I saw this broadcast on Granada Reports as part of their arts feature and I was stunned by what I saw and haunted by it and then I discovered all the albums they did...wonderful band. If I could meet them I would give them another plaster statue of Peter Glaze, because he was a wonderful showman and they knew it.......
