Lyrics
Full credit
Every day you have to die some
Every day you have to cry some
For the rumour
All the good times are past and gone
Wipe the tears from your eyes some
On the landing
They found
Full credit
In the bathroom the presence was illuminous
Every day you have to die some
Every day you have to die some
Every day you have to cry some
All the good times are past and gone

Mansion
“Mansion” is an instrumental version of the track “To Nkroachment: Yarbles”.
“Mansion” wasn’t ever played live in the 1980s (except as an intro tape), but (arguably) received a surprise debut at a gig at the Rockhouse, Salzburg, Austria, on 21 February 2002.
