Mr. Somewhere
This Mortal Coil Lyrics
Day comes up sicker than a cat
Something's wrong, that is that
Mr. Somewhere missing somewhere, never did figure just how much
A boat from the river takes you out
'Cross the other side of town, to get out, to get out
You take the tide, any tide, any tide
Like there isn't gonna be any tide
Mr. Somewhere missing somewhere, never did figure just how much
A world like tomorrow wears things out
It's hard enough to get what's yours for now
And the hardest words are spoken softly
Softly look, no hands upon
Mr. Somewhere missing somewhere, never did figure just how much
Missing somewhere, never did figure just how much
Now the milkman beats you to the door
That was once a home, home no more
Mr. Somewhere missing somewhere, couldn't get the calendar to stop
Missing somewhere, never did figure just how much
Missing somewhere, never will admit just how much

This Mortal Coil (TMC) is an example of a supergroup, and performers include members from bands on 4AD's roster, such as Cocteau Twins, Dead Can Dance, Colourbox, The Wolfgang Press, Dif Juz, X Mal Deutschland and Modern English. The records consist mostly of dark and moody interpretative cover versions of a wide variety of artists ranging from Big Star and Talking Heads to The Apartments and Tim Buckley. The group recorded three albums; It'll End In Tears, Filigree & Shadow and Blood.
The group takes its name from Shakespeare. In particular Hamlet's soliloquy To be, or not to be, where it refers to dying; "coil" is used in its archaic sense of "disturbance, trouble":
"What dreams may come, when we have shuffled off this mortal coil, must give us pause."
Hamlet, Act III, Scene 1, line 67.

Day comes up sicker than a cat
Something's wrong that is that
Mr. Somewhere missing somewhere never did figure just how much
A boat from the river takes you out
'cross the other side of town, to get out, to get out
You take the tide, any tide, any tide
like there isn't gonna be any tide
Mr. Somewhere missing somewhere never did figure just how much
Missing somewhere never did figure just how much
A world like tomorrow wears things out
It's hard enough to get what's yours for now
And the hardest words are spoken softly
Softly look, no hands upon
Mr. Somewhere missing somewhere never did figure just how much
Missing somewhere never did figure just how much
Now the milkman beats you to the door
That was once a home, home no more
Mr. Somewhere, missing somewhere couldn't get the calendar to stop
Missing somewhere, never did figure just how much
Missing somewhere, never will admit just how much

I think it's "A word like tomorrow..." but thanks for the lyrics

Been listening to this song since 1993... always thought it was about someone else... but now it's suddenly about me. there are very few artists that can have such a timeless AND timely appeal, so kudos to the author(s) of this beauty..."that was once a home, home no more"

The composers on this project as well as 'It'll End In Tears' combine scintillating artwork & mezmerizing sound. Always putting euphony before profitability.

Rest in peace Caroline Crawley :-(.
