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.

Two Bites of Cherry
On Land and In the Sea
C G#, C#, Cm
Any real egg has a shell has a shell an egg
F
So break it killer fisty
G# Gm
Killer fisty beat his head
C G#, C#, Cm
The watching everytime beats playing of every kind
F G# Gm
And has the way subsiding every crack is yours for mine, oh
C#
Undreaded courage all the time
A D# G# C#
Knees up pleading, picks up hope
C# A
For the drunken line after mine
D# G#
Line after line after mine
C G#, C#, Cm
As if she like sugar, as I said she did
F G# Gm
She like a snail says she like a gail says ideal
C G#, C#, Cm
Like coming down with a newly born energy
F G# Gm
Only trouble is I'm too afraid of what was said
C# A, D#, G#
Different arms and different eyes
C# A, D#, G#
Different colours different size
C# A, D#, G#
Different smell and different cries
C# A, D#, G#
Different meaning different life
G C G
Only, to have white hair
C G D G
Caused by the trouble that never comes
C G C G F# B
And a gail, more powerfull than all of the guns
C D
Crying need, leading astray
E F# C# E
And steals her gentle smile away
B C D
Came made two bites of cherry when
E F# C#
The world's too big for danger
E B C G C G
World's too big for danger
C#
And demolitions all the time
A D# G# C#
Knees up pleading, picks up hope
C#
For the drunken line after mine
A D# G# C#
Line after mine, after mine
C#
Different arms and different eyes
A D# G# C#
Different colours different size
C#
Different smell and different cries
A D# G# C#
Different meaning different life
G C G
Only, to have white hair
C G D G
Caused by the trouble that never comes
C G C G F# B
And a gail, more powerfull than all of the guns, ever
C D
Crying need, leading astray
E F# C# E
And steals her gentle smile away
B C D
Came made two bites of cherry when
E F# C#
The world's too big for danger
E B C D
And for all the sake of imitating mum & dad
E F# C# E B
There's good and bad down cul-de-sac and sanctuary
C D E F# C#
Making two bites of cherry when the world's too big for danger
C G C G C G C
Jeapardy and risk is ten miles high
On Land and In the Sea
