Cardiacs are an English band formed in 1977 and led by Tim Smith. Noted for their complex, varied and intense compositional style and for their eccentric, theatrical stage shows, they have been hailed as an influence by many newer groups and artists.
Their music combines the excitement and energy of punk with the intricacies and technical cleverness of early British progressive rock, a combination sometimes referred to as pronk, although frontman Tim Smith has disavowed this classification.

Cardiacs have released eight studio albums plus a number of live albums, compilation albums and singles between 1980 and 2007, and are best known for the 1988 minor hit single "Is This the Life?" They are also noted for attracting strongly diverse responses: they have remained one of Britain's leading cult rock bands during their four-decade-spanning career, but have also attracted virulent critical attack (including a lengthy editorial ban from the British music magazine New Musical Express).
The band has been on indefinite (and possibly permanent) hiatus following the 2008 hospitalisation of Tim Smith after a heart attack and series of strokes.

Come Back Clammy Lammy
by Cardiacs
Dead you barmy you make it to heaven
Fancy drowning to death you barmy in
Half a fathom see red rim barnacle
Come back clammy he reek all lammy
He tear off all of his clothes and snap his hair
Suffer he stink, he reek all lamb
"Hi, 'tis me pal I come back clammy
I reek all lammy of half a fath
Saw red rim barnacle make it to heaven"
Fancy drowning to death you lamb you
Come back clammy you reek all lammy
Of half a fathom of stink and you dead
Make it to heaven red rim barmy you
Come back clammy you dead saw barnacle
Make it to heaven red rim barmy you
All soldiers together in World War One
Having a bit of a laugh on the Somme
My friend says, "Where's my dirty bottom gone?"
I says, "Blown of by a big bomb"
And he says, "I thought there was a bit of a stink pong"
All soldiers together in World War One
Having a bit of a laugh on the Somme
My friend says, "Where's my dirty bottom gone?"
I says, "Blown of by a big bomb"
And he says, "I thought there was a bit of a stink pong"
All soldiers together in World War One
Having a bit of a laugh on the Somme
Make it to heaven red rim barmy you
Dead and you make it up to heaven
Fancy starving to death you barnacle
In half a fathom of red rim barnacle
Come back clammy you dead you barnacle
Tear of all his clothes and snap his hair
It was your idea to have a crazy party
With all your new pals to enjoy a free feed
On your body and to make the birds stop singing
While they go pick your bones white as pale
All stench and stale to barter with a hammer and you
Come back clammy you dead saw barnacle
Make it to heaven red rim barmy you
"Hi, 'tis me pal I come back clammy
I reek all lammy in half a fathom
Of suffer and stink and clam and you"
Come back clammy you dead saw barnacle
Make it to heaven red rim barmy you dead
Saw barnacle make it to heaven
Come back clammy you red rim barmy you
Come back clammy you dead saw barnacle
Make it to heaven
