from Son Of Richard's debut double A-side "Goodbye, Artless Green // Memento Mori".

lyrics

Fighting for milk, breaking bread,
I'm swinging with the Grateful Dead.
Dancing with the devil a church bell rings,
Won't you listen to the mourners sing?

Memento Mori, Memento Mori

Newspaper ink has stained your tongue,
Whilst calling for us to grab our guns.
Will you know what you're for,
As Old Father Time's rap-tatting at your door?

Memento Mori, Memento Mori.
Well, at least when I am dead, I'll be free.
Memento Mori.

Love the sinner, hate the sin,
You've got me mixed-and-a-muddled with my long lost twin.
He may use my blue eyes to see,
But, that kid's wrapped up in some debauchery,
Not me.

Memento Mori.

So, So Calamity Jones,
"Beware the Ides of March", the oracle moaned.
Brother, we've still got time,
To break some hearts and change some minds.

Memento Mori, Memento Mori.
Well, at least when I am dead, I'll be free.
Memento Mori.

My mother told me;
"Don't you stay out late tonight".
Because my body's shaking
As we dance in the moonlight.

Memento Mori, Memento Mori...
Roll on, Roll on.
