Commissioning  A  Symphony  In  C(Album  Version)  -  CAKE

  So  you'll  be  an  Austrian  Nobleman

  Commissioning  a  symphony  in  C

  Which  defies  all  earthly  descriptions

  You'll  be  Commissioning  a  symphony  in  C

  With  money  you  squeeze  from  the  peasants

  To  your  nephew  you  can  give  it  as  a  present

  This  magnificent  symphony  in  C

  You'll  be  commissioning  a  symphony  in  C

    Completely  filling  the  palace  concert  hall

  It's  warm  and  golden  like  an  oven  that's  wide  open

  It  has  a  melody  both  happy  and  sad

  Built  on  Victoria's  young  triads

  You've  entered  the  room  with  great  caution

  Though  no  one  in  the  hall  is  even  watching

  They  are  transfixed

  They  are  forgetting  just  to  breath

  They  are  so  taken  by  your  symphony...

  In  C

    You're  sitting  there  thinking  your  thoughts

  They  are  not  about  what  is  but  what  is  not

  You  are  sitting  there  breathing  in  your  breath

  You  are  seldom  breathing  life  but  mostly  death

  So  you'll  be  an  Austrian  Nobleman

  Commissioning  a  symphony  in  C

  Which  defies  all  earthly  descriptions

  You'll  be  commissioning...

  A  symphony...

  In  C
