Biography:
Cardiacs, originally called Cardiac Arrest, was an English band formed in 1977 and led by Tim Smith (1961-2020). 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.
As well as Smith, around 23 musicians were part of the Cardiacs over the years, including Smith's brother, Jim, and multi-instrumentalist, Sarah Cutts, who married Tim Smith in 1983.

Theres a strange feeling in my mind
And the room's too warm
And lit with MacDonalds lighting

Of the wood for the box for my soul
And my aching heart

Creations joining in celebrating happiness and joy
All around the world on land and in the sea
In the sea!
