Daddy's in the basement With his model railway Mummy's weekend's at an all time low. Well it's another foggy day down here in the lounge On the roof it looks like snow. Yes we gotta sit on something dear But we have to think it o-ver Should we go into a debt like that For a two tone leather sofa? She's so kind And she can read my mind. She's quite attractive but she ain't no friend of mine. She's so kind And she can read my mind... She's quite attractive but she ain't no friend of mine. I'm deep in the ocean And the waves are coming soon. I think it's Sargasso? Well it's a beautiful green lagoon. Where the eels make love In a seething mass of joy. And Aristotle can tell by the smell That this is a girl And that is a boy. She's so kind And she can read my mind. She's quite attractive but she ain't no friend of mine. She's so kind And she can read my mind… She's quite attractive but she ain't no friend of mine. Let's get it together And leave the past behind the bar. Let's get it together And you can drive the getaway car. Let's get it together for god’s sake Or die in the act of trying. We gotta get it together Coz you know that I know that you know that I know you're reading my mind. Yeah etc Wo oh etc To the railway station I will take you there though I know That you gotta another woman I can tell coz you're in your yellow clothes. She's so kind And she can read my mind She says: ‘You’re quite attractive but you ain't no friend of mine. She's so kind And she can read my mind. She's quite attractive but she ain't no friend of mine. I got my legs akimbo And the baby's coming out. I can feel that baby breathing I can hear that baby shout. I don't know how it happened It's a mystery to me. We only did it once or was it twice Underneath that willow tree. She's so kind And she can read my mind She's quite attractive but she ain't no friend of mine. She's so kind And she can read my mind She's quite attractive but she ain't no friend of mine. She's so kind And she can read my mind She's quite attractive but she ain't no friend of mine.

about

Coil formed in a flat above a TV repair shop in 1978. They were loud, cheeky, sharp and popular – and then due to bad luck, were obliged to pause for 30 long years, after the famous ‘four banks in a weekend’ robbery of 1980 put several members of the band in prison for a very long time. Two died inside sadly, but in truth, they didn't need a keyboard player and two bass players anyway.

Thankfully, now ALL the living members are out of gaol and playing their (very) post-punk satirical, fast, chippy, busy, intelligent, attractive, leftish, charming music.

Out NOW - To celebrate their freedom, Coil has a new EP - ‘The Baby’s Coming Out’ available here for only FIVE of their lovely old British Pounds. The EP is a mix of new material, recorded live in the studio, plus a couple of tracks re-mastered from original analogue tapes, which had been buried in Phil’s garden since he went on the run in 1979.
