That solo is the secret solo that Tim wrote to please the Lord. If Aliens ever visit earth thats the signal that should be played to them and they will automatically reveal to us all the wonders of the universe.
In my 53 years I've never heard a more spine-tingling uplifting chord sequence than at 2:16. I emailed Tim years ago about the album and still treasure his reply.
Hello Graham it's Tim Smith outa that Cardiacs...thank you for kind things said... ... what rehearsal DVD is this then? Some people turned up ages ago and filmed us but that was that I thought... They just went away... we didn't behave very well... Timmy xxx
Everything that has been said about this wondrous song has been said. And yet, nothing needs be said. Though I do wish more people would be saying what doesn't need to be said. More people need to hear this uplifting song. I'll will do my best to spread the word.
Have you pain to the heart? To heart Oh no, not so bad I have not sleep I have had a fear Are you changed? Are you altered or changed by name? Can I to get up my self and all? Self and all On your life, if I never see a woman who died of a building, oh I have had a fear Don't you ail Don't you ail Flash the sea to all steam Lose your arms and legs, then add to steam Flash the sea Don't you live Don't you live Don't you anger or pale So not saying always add to steam Flash the sea Are you changed? Are you altered? Are you curdling again? Four or five days and nothing ill Whoo! Whoo! Whoo! Whoo! In this hour, can you take all the broth to the heart? Can I to get up myself and all, and have a fear? Flash the sea to the steam Flash the sea to all steam Lose your arms and legs then add to steam Flash the sea On your life, are you altered and changed with all? Perish all Building oh I have had a fear Whoo! Whoo!
Have you come To the heart to heart, oh no! Not so bad I have not sleep to hand Have fear Are you changed Are you alter the change by May? Care I to get off myself, aha?

The sea being quite dear to Mr Smith and all. That's my silly guess anyway, hopefully Tim is laughing at me because it's really about Onion Gravy. xx
Just had a copy of "English as She is Spoke" as a Christmas Present. Seems our Timmy was a bit of a fan. A book to seek if you yearn for hard to decipher Cardiacs lyrics!

I love the people who love the people who love this song.
Never met a dick-head Cardiacs fan either.
I've tried to be a dickhead. But every time I do I fuck up and accidently be nice instead!

I'm in tears. It's so beautiful it makes me cry.
A year since my last comment, but this still gives me goosebumps. All the more so since the passing of the genius that created it.
In my 53 years I've never heard a more spine-tingling uplifting chord sequence than at 2:16. I emailed Tim years ago about the album and still treasure his reply.
what did he say?
yeah come on, what'd he say!?
Waiting...

Thanks for your efforts they are greatly appreciated, but between this and dirty boy, are all of Tim's lyircs about wanking?
Huge thanks to you both for doing this. Very much appreciated. RIP, Tim.
Just had a copy of "English as She is Spoke" as a Christmas Present.
Seems our Timmy was a bit of a fan. A book to seek if you yearn for hard to decipher Cardiacs lyrics!
@@MrJacksonBollock Silly guess you say.
Mr Jackson, you are at least six years ahead of yourself. I believe you.
This is the greatest pop song ever written.
Bloody glorious.
God I love this so much. Blessings to you all.

Still brilliant
Cardiacs fan of many years

Sexy music.

DONT YOU AIL FLASH THE SEA
This band is to the Cardiac's what Californian punk pop is to classic punk. Cleaner, happier, altogether lighter but still roughly the same idiom.
btw, anyone have the lyrics?
Prolly not a fan then.
You can usually count on at least one tool at a any gig.
The world demands a Miley Cyrus cover version
Lovely song, but Timmy himself delivered many better solos, day is gone for one
