Killer Songtext
von Van der Graaf Generator

So you live in the bottom of the sea
And you kill all that comes near you
But you are very lonely
Because all the other fish fear you
And you crave companionship
And someone to call your own
Because for the whole of your life
You′ve been living alone

On a black day in a black month
At the black bottom of the sea
Your mother gave birth to you
And died immediately
Because you can't have two killers
Living in the same pad
And when your mother knew that her time had come
She was really rather glad


Death in the sea, death in the sea
Somebody, please come and help me, come and help me
Death in the sea, death in the sea
Somebody, please come and help me, come and help me
Fish have got life, fish have got life
Fish have got death, neither can I, neither can I
Fish have got life, fish have got life
Fish have got death, neither can I, neither can I

Now I really rather like you
For I′ve killed all the love I ever had

By not doing what I ought to
And by leaving my good words unsaid
And I, too, am a killer
For emotion runs as deep as flesh
And I, too, am lonely
And I, I wish that I could forget

We need love
We need love
We need love
We need love
We need love
We need love
