lyrics

LYRICS
We're made of stinging nettles and the thorns that catch you as you pass
And the unwanted things that grow beneath the cracks in the path
I'm lord of all that I survey with my eyes firmly shut

You know that I'm the king of everything that I can touch, from here
The king of nothing much at all, the king of nothing much
Oh we're as popular as popular as all those paper cuts, ha ha ha

We are thorns in the paws of limping lions at cave doors

We are like bits of plastic and the bottles washed up by the sea
About as useless as the ads for trips and falls on the Tee Vee
We've fallen down the cracks at the back of the settee

We are thorns in the paws of limping lions at cave doors
We are thorns

about

Church of Elvis England, UK

Church OF Elvis (everybody's 90's support act, nobody's darlings) reformed and released Submarina in 2014 and the brilliant Spirals in 2015. They are back during lockdown with the melancholy Rotten Fruit. Their back catalogue is enormous, but you won't find one Elv the Pelv cover version lurking anywhere!
They will also drink your rider, you have been warned.
Thank-you-very much...
