Coil - Broccoli

"Broccoli",
by Coil,
coming from "Musick To Play In The Dark",
released in 2000 on Chalice Records.

Lyrics:
Wise words from the departing
Eat your greens, especially broccoli
Remember to say "thank you" for the things you haven't had
By working the soil we cultivate the sky
We embrace vegetable kingdom
The death of your father, the death of your mother
Is something you prepare for
All your life
All their life

(Those lines are repeated over and over with the following variations:)

The death of the father and the death of the mother
...
Wear sensible shoes and always say "thank you"
Especially for the things you never had
...
Is something you prepare for
All your life
All of your life
...
And enter the vegetable kingdom of our own heaven
...
By working the soil we cultivate good manners
Is to say "please" and "thank you"
Especially for the things you never had
...
And always say "thank you"
Especially for broccoli

Indeed, many are the times i've listened through Musick to Play in the Dark 1&2 sitting alone in the middle of the night on my balcony, and so many mixed feelings reaches the surface. Coil's music really is one of a kind.

[peeldown]

it is part of an enormous world you and your traditional fundamentals will never be able to comprehend.listen to japanese pop from now on, pick a mate as equally out of touch as you are and stop posting banal insults on pages that you will never find any support on

[freddy35kr]

is this song about ancestor worship?

[MissPurestFeeling]

Eat your greens, guys'n'girls!

[PissDust]

@rob16248 Yeah....Some people might bash....

[rob16248]

@Xx14HeavyNormalxX Yup, did know. Didn't comment before cos I felt you may not want to make it an issue.

[Xx14HeavyNormalxX]

@rob16248 Thanks. had misplaced my song. Ha ha. Thank you.

Also, I am 13 years old, if you didn't know.

[rob16248]

@Xx14HeavyNormalxX You're right. It was your link which caused me to arrive at Lands End. If you check out Coils Dark River, there you'll see your comment made 3 months ago. Best of luck with the future.

@rob16248 Cool! I know I linked Land's End as a video response to a coil song (I don't remember which), so possibly through there?

Interesting! Thank you! I am always trying to find ways for my music to be discovered!

[rob16248]

@Xx14HeavyNormalxX I don't remember the exact route, but I've recently discovered I have a penchant for a music genre called dark ambient which I typed into the search box. I was checking out the first few suggestions that came up probably, or it might've materialised as a suggestion when I was listening to Coil.

@rob16248 By the way, how did you come across my material?
