![]() Coil (1997) [ larger cover art ] |
There's almost nothing left
And you eat my kind for breakfast
What did I expect, to come here and find anyone?
Find open arms to greet me and friends to feed me
I sicken myself so much
And you eat my kind for breakfast, you eat my kind...
(chorus)
Whatever I fear the most is whatever I see before me
Whenever I let my guard down
Whatever I was, ignore it
Whatever I fear the most is whatever I see before me
Whatever I have been given
Whatever I have been...
Seeing myself this way, I am a monster I believe
Seeing is believing, is there no doubt left?
When I wake up I poison myself,
And poison gives no appetite
I sicken myself so much
Sicken myself so...
(chorus)
Do we expect these things to change
By waking up and suddenly there they are?
And all I need's a starting place
And nothing ever seemed so hard

I came to the forums for this same reason. I've done some searching and can't find a connection between Toad and Rob Thomas. |

In fact, some of their songs seem anti-religion. Good band, good song. |

| siandbeth (Santa Cruz California) | Posted: Apr 02, 2008 - 14:59 I'm intrigued that there are certain bands that I immediately dislike. This band, the Doors and Jefferson Airplane do that. I can understand why others might like it, but not I. |

I agree... great band that has put out some really fantastic music over the years. Thanks to RP I've been exposed to much more of their music other than what's been (over)played on "regular" radio. |

It's based on a Monty Python piece called "Rock Notes", which mentions a band by the same name. The actual "Toad" kinda-sorta "borrowed" it. |

| SCJoniguy | Posted: Aug 11, 2005 - 07:20 Hadn't heard this one before...thanks RP!! Instantly likeable, good enough to make me search out the CD. I caught Glenn Phillips live/unplugged a couple years ago, he's a talented writer to be sure. |
