Theme from 'Likely Stories'

by Jarvis Cocker

on Music from 'Likely Stories' (2016)

Round heads and covered ears
Adult themes and childhood fears
Unworthy winners and bad losers
All-night cafes and self-abusers

A baby in a jar
An old man in a car
A flame that beneath this room
A cow jumped over the moon
And other likely stories

Soft electric care
The girl was never really there
There wasn't a woman who swallowed the cat
Or do you think of that

Children's games and lovers' tiffs
Home truths and urban myths
A half-forgotten nursery rhyme
From a different place and time
