Lyrics for the track No Matter What You Do from Your Children Placate You From Premature Graves:

Jesus loves the little children even when they torch the cat. Jesus loves the little cat that flies then tortures this and that. Jesus loves yea, that which stings. Yea, that which stinks. Yea, look! No fingers!!! Jesus just loves everything. We do not deserve him.

Jesus loves the man who takes his name then wields it as a curse. Jesus loves the man who fakes his pain then flaunts it, lines his purse. Jesus loves his wife, the wise guy, shy guy and the sleazy shyster. Jesus don't steal pearls from oysters.
It would be beneath him.

We do not disturb him. We do not deserve him. We are so unworthy of his endless mercy.

From Soleilmoon comes The Legendary Pink Dots: Alchemical Playschool - a very limited CD album presented in a soapstone box and made in India. All boxes took the slow boat from the sub-continent to Los Angeles and arrived a few days after the extraordinary musical voyage through India was completed. Watch this space for further news. Price has not been determined so no pre-orders are possible just yet.
