Summer’s Cauldron (demo / work tape) Songtext
von XTC

Drowning here in summer′s cauldron
Under mats of flower lava
Please, don't pull me out
This is how I would want to go

Breathing in the boiling butter
Fruit of sweating golden Inca
Please, don′t heed my shout
I'm relax in the undertow

When Miss Moon lays down
And Sir Sun stands up
Me, I'm found floating ′round and ′round
Like a bug in brandy in this big bronze cup
Drowning here in summer's cauldron


Trees are dancing drunk with nectar
Grass is waving underwater
Please, don′t pull me out
This is how I would want to go

Insect bomber Buddhist droning
Copper chord of August's organ
Please, don′t heed my shout
I'm relax in the undertow

When Miss Moon lays down (in her hilltop bed)
And Sir Sun stands up (raise his regal head)
Me, I′m found floating 'round and 'round
Like a bug in brandy in this big bronze cup
Drowning here in summer′s cauldron

(Drowning here in summer′s cauldron) drowning here
(Drowning here in summer's cauldron) in summer′s cauldron
Drowning here in summer's cauldron
(Drowning here in summer′s cauldron) please, don't pull me out
