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.

"Red Fire Coming Out From His Gills"
Artist: Cardiacs
Album: Sing To God
Standard Tuning (E A D G B E)
Those chords should be quite alright if you know the song already, so there you go, ladies and gentlemen.
Intro:
B F# A D G E A F#
B F# A D G E A F#
B
King of all lice
Of wood ship building
E A F# B
Believing that his sink is clean
But Mr Sun's too high up in sky
E A F#
And the sea's far too big for drowning
F#
Erecting fin time
Cut through the ocean waves
D
One million miles an hour
A D A E
Faster than a torpedo
F# B A
Morbid seas
E F# B A
The morbid breeds
E D E A F#
Untidy seas
Bridge:
B F# A Em
B F# A Em
G E A F#
B
Meanwhile on the wrong side of fences
E A F# B
All killing and dashing of brains
Next to normal life with games and companions
E A F#
Shouting too loud for him to sing
F#
Are all his blackbirds
Inside the steely metal gut of famous
D
Action Fish cutting the waves
A D A E F# B A
Firing hot red fire from his gills
E F# B A
The more we steals
E D E A F#
The more we feels
Bridge and ending:
B F# A Em
B F# A Em
G E A F#
B F# A D G E A F#
