about

This is part of a (nearly) gapless album. Feel free to download it as a standalone track, but to hear it in context you know it makes more sense to download the whole thing...

Downloading the full album will also get you high quality digital copies of the full album artwork booklet and the unreleased Butcher Bull artwork!

Better still - buy the cd and feel it!

lyrics

Tethys: My Love, My Saviour (for Medusa: my mistress, the masochist)

Words and music by David Lawrie

I had that dream again;
The one where I am drowning.
Tethys flows across to me
And shows me how to swim.

Every time my head goes under
She is there to save me.
Every time that I get dirty
She is there to bathe me.

"You are the most important thin",
She said that to me.
Oh, how I loved that lie.

I had that dream again.
The one where I am blind.
Medusa slithers over here
And gets under my skin.

And she seduces me by the fire
To burn me alive,
And she confides in me,
And tells me she loves me,
Over (and over, and over, and over) again.

And over again.

"You are the most important thing",
She said that.
She said that to me.

You said that to me.
You said that to me.
You said that to me.
You said that to me.
