lyrics
Lose an endless
Longing counting
Merely being
Human nearly being
Left behind, dust left behind
Many footsteps
Make one journey
Trundling wondering
The whimsy and the story
Brave and lost, stay brave and lost
All those places
We have been to
We have pondered
Land and sea and statues
Left behind, skin, left behind
Lose an endless
Longing counting
Merely being
Human nearly being
Left behind, dust left behind
Nearly Being, merely being
Human
Lost an endless joining being
So we cut our teeth,
Brave and lost, stay, brave and lost
Liquid long
Endless fleeting
Only butterflies
Left behind
Dust
Left Behind
Nearly
nothing
Nearly human
Vessels and veins
Nearly Human
Indifference
Nearly Human
Sinew and streams,
And bundles of cells, stumbling
Nearly human
And stretch, and breath, and love.
(Just love)
It's highly likely no human eye
Will ever see the Sun die.
Belong.
The chances of your existence
Is miniscule my friend.
Miniscule
Water, rise and remain.
Lose an endless
Longing counting
Merely being
Human nearly being.
Vessels and veins
Bundles of cells,
Stumbling.
How fortunate.

Instrumental Music 1
by Craig Fortnamsupported by 6 fans who also own “Nearly Human”
Craig Fortnam is well known for being the creative mastermind behind names like "Shrubbies", "North Sea Radio Orchestra", "Arch Garrison", and, well, "Craig Fortnam", of course. He's from the big family of musicians and composers revolving around the cult band "Cardiacs", all of which share some undeniable and hard-to-describe common quality in their songwriting. "Instrumental Music 1" is quite some unspecific title for the wide range of unique avantgarde tracks he has released only recently.
