    3:22 onwards just fills me with feelings I can't describe - just so many beautiful things going on at once. Rest in Peace Tim, thank you for everything you left behind for us to cherish forever.

    He's in his room, hasn't said a word.
    Something's happened to this Ground's Town.
    Never saw him anymore 'till I heard
    him (in his room) fall down.
    There's people crying in their gardens.
    It's all backfired, everything's gone brown.
    Someone's playing Santa Claus
    and on all fours (Rover-like)
    Doggy calm down.
    Falling down under the influence of
    love and passion.
    Nearly blessed my hide operation
    in the ground of Nature.
    Now...
    ...Something's killing me, can't find a cure,
    give it up, choosing my own fate.
    My time is giving up.
    Time living up to the height of my Empire State.
    Then there's the wooden ones crying all the time.
    They got the worms, their Father's died,
    and they all tasted just like chocolate
    pigs and sheep-chickens taste just like someone died.
    Turning new leaves, nothing's wrong wormwise
    everything's wise, nothing's wrong.
    They've got a new song.
    And falling down under the influence of
    love and passion.
    Nearly blessed my hide operation
    in the ground of Nature.
    Now...
    Everyone makes mistakes.
    Take a pill if you're ill after every meal.
    Then have loads of babies and feed them to
    show them how you can feel.
    Then there's the wooden ones
    Cry all the time (they got the worms)
    Morning Wrigglies!
    I see you turned over new leaves
    but nothing wrong wormwise.
    (they got a new song)
    and it goes...
    "We dream all night we are awake,
    we chomp on wood, we're worm (not snake)
    we make the tiny wood ones cry,
    the pain is hard, they want to die,
    they pain
    we go away,
    goodbye."
    "Goodbye" everyone smiles,
    (we drift for miles)
    They cry, wooden ones crying all the time,
    they got the worms,
    Morning Wrigglies! I see you've
    turned over new leaves
    (and I like your new song)
    Falling down under the influence of
    love and passion.
    Nearly blessed my hide operation
    in the ground of Nature.
    Now...
    He's in his room, hasn't said a word.
    Something's happened to this Ground's Town.
    Never saw him anymore 'till I heard
    him (in his room) fall down.
    "We dream all night we are awake,
    we chomp on wood, we're worm (not snake)
    we make the tiny wood ones cry,
    the pain is hard, they want to die,
    they pain
    we go away,
    goodbye."
    "...pain is hard, they want to die,
    they pain
    we go away,
    goodbye."
    "...pain is hard, they want to die,
    they pain
    we go away,
    goodbye."
    "Goodbye" everyone smiles,
    (we drift for miles)
    Travel quite far if we go by car
    clean and happy as most of us are.

    The vibe of this song conjures images of streets in an English town in winter. Gray skies, slight wind, Victorian shops. An OAP pulling one of those wheeled tartan contraptions.
