GnosticGnonsense: The Worst Lyrics of Current 93

My copy of Sing Omega arrived a couple of days ago and I've been poring over it ever since, about half way through at the moment.

While I firmly believe that David Tibet is the greatest living lyricist, I've come across some very poor, unintentionally hilarious phrases. So I thought it would be fun to follow in the footsteps of Justin Isis and make a fun, tongue-in-cheek thread about them.

My least-favorite is from "Black Ships Ate the Sky":

"And I would be unborn
And not have seen circuses
Whilst watching the flowers
Rise flags made of atoms"

Well, what else would they be made of?

Positrons? Non-baryonic matter?

Haha, fair enough. It just seemed clumsy and out of place juxtaposed with the rest of the song.

"The Bloodbells Chime" has the absolute classic: "...Catland, sometimes called Pussydom..."
