lyrics

Pelican feeds the hungry and needy
I kneel before her
My throat like an open grave

Food cannot fill me
Water dilutes me
Nothing contents me
Pelican, pity me

She tears her breast, her children to refresh
By her I am blessed, led to life from living death

Though death entreats me
Her life flows sweetly
Given so freely
Given in flesh & blood

She tears her breast, her children to refresh
By her I am blessed, led to life from living death

Pelican feeds me
Loves me completely
Though I’m unworthy
She gives so graciously

She tears her breast, her children to refresh
By her I am blessed, led to life from living death

She crowns the whole earth, the heavens and seas
The Pelican tears her breast for me

She’s queen of what was and what is to be
The Pelican tears her breast for me

She gives of herself in infinity
The Pelican tears her breast for me

She’s compassion and love, she’s strength and glory
The Pelican tears her breast for me

about

Rev Simpkins UK

Notorious sinner-songwriter, folk symphonist & Anglican priest.
The Rev’s unique psychedelic gospel and gritty folk owes as much to the Old Testament, & the dark folk tales & barren landscapes of Essex & Suffolk, as it does to his musical heroes Bert Jansch, Captain Beefheart & the Kinks. He comes from a long line of priests whose fiery performances characterise his own style. ... more
