Watching the painter painting
And all the time, the light is changing
And he keeps painting
That bit there, it was an accident
But he's so pleased
It's the best mistake, he could make
And it's my favourite piece
It's just great
The flick of a wrist
Twisting down to the hips
So the lovers begin, with a kiss
In a tryst
It's just a smudge
But what it becomes
In his hands:
Curving and sweeping
Rising and reaching
I could feel what he was feeling
Lines like these have got to be
An architect's dream
It's always the same
Whenever he works on a pavement
It starts to rain
And all the time
The light is changing
Warm and soothing,
That's how I remember home.
Walking into arms
Through the back door.
Hearing voices I know well,
And long for.
Cold and boozy,
Our holiday in the Alps.
Sitting in the lobby,
Mostly smoking.
Choking on the woozy afternoon.
I'm reeling in the music
And I've only had a few.
And I'm afraid
By the way we grow old,
My darling.
Abrupt, too moody,
You making our party list.
I remember sulking
On the sofa.
For most of the winter
We were strangers.
Just one more
To ease the ache,
Before the night takes me.
When you stay asleep
On your side of the bed,
Don't look at me,
Don't look at you...
I'm reeling in the music
And I've only had a few.
And I'm afraid
By the way we grow old,
My darling.
The Painter :
It's raining
What has become of my painting
All the colours are running
The chorus :
So all the colours run
So all the colours run
See what they've become
A wonderful sunset
This chapter says
"Put it out of your mind"
Mmm, give it time....
The fine purple
The purest gold
The red of the Sacred Heart
The grey of a ghost
The "L" of the lips are open
To the "O" of the Host
The "V" of the velvet
Of all of the people in the world
Why should I love you?
There's just something 'bout you
There's just something 'bout you
Of all the people in the world
Why should I love you?
Have you ever seen a picture
Of Jesus laughing?
Mmm, do you think
He had a beautiful smile?
A smile that healed
Of all the people in the world
Why should I love you?
There's just something 'bout you
There's just something 'bout you
Of all the people in the world
Why should I love you?
Of all the people in the world
Why should I love you?
The fine purple
The purest gold
The red of the Sacred Heart
The grey of a ghost
The "L" of the lips are open
To the "O" of the Host
The "V" of the velvet
The "E" of my eye
The eye in wonder
The eye that sees
The "I" that loves you
Of all the people in the world
Why should I love you?
Four strings across the bridge
Ready to carry me over,
Over the quavers, drunk in the bars,
Out of the realm of the orchestra,
Out of the realm of the orchestra,
Filling me up with the shivers,
Filling me up wtiith the shivers and quivers,
Filling me up with the shivers.
Chorus
Get the Bow going, let it scream to me,
Violin, violin, violin.
Paganini, up the chimney,
Lord of the Dance with Nero and old Nicky,
Whack the Devil
Into my fiddlestick,
Give me the Banshees for B.V.'s,
Give me the Banshees for B.V.'s,
Jigging along with the fiddle, ooh Johnny,
Jigging along with the fiddle dee-dee,
Jigging along with the fiddle-dee-diddle-dee-dee.
I see the people working and see it working for them,
And so I want to join in, but then I find it hurts me.
Some say that knowledge is something sat in your lap
Some say that knowledge is something that you never have
I see the people happy, so can it happen for me?
'Cos when I have no energy, there's nothing that can move me
Some say that knowledge is something that you never have
Some say that knowledge is something sat in your lap
Some say that heaven is hell, some say that hell is heaven.
I must admit, just when I think I'm king (I just begin)
Just when I think I'm king, I must admit (I just begin)
Just when I think I'm king
(I just begin)
I've been doing it for years, my goal is moving near
It says "Look I'm over here" then it up and disappears
Some say that knowledge is something sat in your lap
Some say that knowledge is ho ho ho
I want to be a lawyer, I want to be a scholar
But I really can't be bothered, ooh just
Gimme it quick, gimme it, gimme, gimme, gimme, gimme
Some say that knowledge is ho ho ho
Some say that knowledge is ho ho ho
Some say that heaven is hell, some say that hell is heaven
I must admit, just when I think I'm king (I just begin)
Just when I think I'm king, I must admit (I just begin)
Just when I think everything's going great (I just begin)
Hey I get the break
Hey I'm gonna take it all (I just begin)
When I'm king (just begin)
In my dome of ivory, a home of activity
I want the answers quickly, but I don't have no energy
I hold a cup of wisdom, but there is nothing within
My cup she never overfloweth and 'tis I that moan and groaneth
Some grey and white matter (give me the Karma Mama
A jet to Mecca, Tibet or Jeddah
To Salisbury, a monastery
The longest journey, across the desert
Across the weather, across the elements
Across the water)
Where is she
When the little thing cries?
She lies in a bed
With a friend of mine.
But some nights
She'll run back in fright
If she picks on a dick
That's too big for her pride.
Oh! Oh!
Why did I ever go marry her?
I was a child!
I'm holding the baby,
She's ran-tanning constantly.
She saw me coming for miles.
She saw me open wide.
Four o'clock
And the key's in the lock.
And she's been on the wink
And she's stinking of drink.
Wakes the kid,
So I put him to sleep,
And she's in there all night,
Doubled over the sink.
Oh! Oh!
Why did I ever go marry her?
I was a child!
I'm holding the baby,
She's ran-tanning constantly.
She saw me coming for miles.
She saw me open wide.
Could be honeycomb
In a sea of honey, a sky of honey
Whose shadow, long and low
Is slipping out of wet clothes?
And changes into the most beautiful iridescent blue
Who knows who wrote that song of Summer
That blackbirds sing at dusk
This is a song of color
Where sands sing in crimson, red and rust
Then climb into bed and turn to dust
Every sleepy light must say goodbye
To the day before it dies
In a sea of honey, a sky of honey
Keep us close to your heart
So if the skies turn dark
We may live on in comets and stars
Who knows who wrote that song of Summer
That blackbirds sing at dusk
This is a song of color
Where sands sing in crimson, red and rust
Then climb into bed and turn to dust
Who knows who wrote that song of Summer
That blackbirds sing at dusk
This is a song of color
Where sands sing in crimson, red and rust
Then climb into bed and turn to dust
Oh, sing of summer and a sunset and sing for us
So that we may remember
The day writes the words right across the sky
I found a book on how to be invisible
Take a pinch of keyhole
And fold yourself up
You cut along a dotted line
You think inside out
And you're invisible
Eye of Braille
Hem of anorak
Stem of wallflower
Hair of doormat
I found a book on how to be invisible
On the edge of the labyrinth
Under a veil you must never lift
Pages that you must never turn
In the labyrinth
You stand in front of a million doors
And each one holds a million more
Corridors that lead to the world
Of the invisible
Corridors that twist and turn
Corridors that blister and burn
Eye of Braille
Hem of anorak
Stem of wallflower
Hair of doormat
Is that the wind from the desert song?
Is that the autumn leaf falling?
Or is that you walking home?
Is that the wind from the desert song?
Is that the autumn leaf falling?
Or is that you walking home?
Is that a storm in the swimming pool?
You take a pinch of keyhole
And fold yourself up
You cut along a dotted line
You think inside out
You jump 'round three times
You jump into the mirror
And you're invisible
Oh England My Lionheart
I'm in your garden fading fast in your arms
The soldiers soften, the war is over
The air raid shelters are blooming clover
Flapping umbrellas fill the lanes
My London Bridge in rain again
Oh England My Lionheart
Peter Pan steals the kids in Kensington Park
You read me Shakespeare on the Rolling Thames
That old river pool where that never, ever ends
Our Thumping hearts hold the Ravens in
Keep the tower from tumbling
Oh England My Lionheart
Oh England My Lionheart
Oh England My Lionheart
I don't want to go
Oh England My Lionheart
Dropped from my black spitfire to my funeral barge
Give me one kiss in the apple blossom
Give me one wish and I'd be wassailing
In the orchard my English Rose
Or with my shepherd who'll bring me home
Oh England My Lionheart
Oh England My Lionheart
Oh England My Lionheart
Oh England My Lionheart
Oh England My Lionheart
Oh, with a mind that renders everything sensitive,
What chance do I have here?
Put an end, put an end,
Put an end to every dream.
When you're near, I fear you,
And I forget myself.
But not this time.
Not this time.
Not this time, baby,
Not this time.
I don't know why I give in, but I do every time.
And here I am wondering why I did it again.
Too-ree-ay, too-ree-o, too-ree-ay, too-ree-o, too-ree-ay's what I say
To keep me going,
To keep the shit away.
I don't know what it is,
But every time you're near, I fear you,
And I forget myself.
No, not this time, baby.
Not this time, you won't.
Not this time, darling.
C'mon, we all sing:
Too-ree-ay, too-ree-o, too-ree-ay, too-ree-o,
Too-ree-ay, too-ree-o, too-ree-ay, too-ree-o,
See how the child reaches out instinctively
To feel how fire will feel.
See how the man reaches out instinctively
For what he cannot have.
The pull and the push of it all.
Reaching out for the hand.
Reaching out for the hand that smacked.
Reaching out for that hand to hold.
Reaching out for the Star.
Reaching out for the Star that explodes.
Reaching out for Mama.
See how the flower leans instinctively
Toward the light.
See how the heart reaches out instinctively
For no reason but to touch.
The pull and the push of it all.
Reaching out for the hand
Reaching out for the hand that smacked
Reaching out for that hand to hold.
Reaching out for the Star.
Reaching out for the Star that explodes.
Reaching out for Mama.
(Can't we see...)
Hey there you lady in tears
Do you think that they care if they're real women?
They just take it as part of the deal.
Lost in your men and the games you play
Trying to prove that you're better, woman
But you needn't get heavy with them
Like it or not, we were build tough
Because we're woman
(Chorus)
No, we never die for long
While we've got that little life to life for
Where it's hid inside, no, we never die for long
Oh-woman, two in one
There's room for a life in your womb, woman
Inside of you, can be two, woman
There's room for a life in your womb, woman
Mama woman-aha-
Night after night in the quiet house
Plaiting her hair by the fire, woman
With no lover to free her desire
How long do you think she can stick it out
How long do you think, before she'll go out, woman
Hey get up on your feet and go get it now
Like it or not we keep bouncing back
Because we're woman
We're gonna be laughing about this
We're gonna be dancing around
It's gonna be so good now
It's gonna be so good
Oh, so exciting, go on and on
Every time you leave us
So summer will be gone
So you'll never grow old to us
It's gonna be so good now
It's gonna be so good
Can you see the lark ascending?
Oh, so romantic, swept me off my feet
Like some kind of magic
Like the light in Italy
Lost its way across the sea
Roma roma mia
Tesoro mio, bella
Pieno di sole luce
Bali cozi bene, bene
Pianissimo, pianissimo
What a lovely afternoon
What a lovely afternoon
Oh, will you come with us
She knows that I've been
Doing something wrong
But she won't say anything
She thinks that I was
With my friends yesterday
But she won't mind me lying
Because Mother stands for comfort
Mother, hide the murderer
It breaks the cage and fear escapes
And takes possession
Just like a crowd rioting inside
Make me do this, make me do that
Make me do this, make me do that
Am I the cat that takes the bird
To her the hunted, not the hunter?
Mother stands for comfort
Mother, hide the murderer
Mother hides the madman
Mother will stay mum
Mother stands for comfort
Mother will stay mum
She stands for comfort
Sweet and gentle sensitive man
With an obsessive nature and deep fascination
For numbers
And a complete infatuation with the calculation
Of PI
Oh he love, he love, he love
He does love his numbers
And they run, they run, they run him
In a great big circle
In a circle of infinity
3.1415926535 897932
3846 264 338 3279
Oh he love, he love, he love
He does love his numbers
And they run, they run, they run him
In a great big circle
In a circle of infinity
But he must, he must, he must
Put a number to it
50288419 716939937510
582319749 44 59230781

Oh he love, he love, he love
He does love his numbers
And they run, they run, they run him
In a great big circle
In a circle of infinity

Mummy, Daddy
The day is full of birds
As the light hits you, as you shift along the floor
I find it hard to place my face
How did I come to be here anyway?
It's terribly vague, what's gone before
I could have been anyone
You could have been anyone's dream
Why did you have to choose our moment?
Why did you have to make me feel that?
Why did you make it so unreal?
(Chorus)
Oh to be in love, and never get out again
Oh to be in love, and never get out again
All the colours look brighter now
Everything they say seems to sound new
Slipping into tomorrow too quick
Yesterday always too good to forget
Stop the swing of the pendulum, let us through!
Je viens
Comme un chat
Par la nuit si noire.
Tu attends,
Et je tombe
Dans tes ailes blanches, la-la-la...
Et je vole,
Et je coule
Comme une plume.
Si les grands yeux de mon Dieu
Ne me gardaient pas,
Je te volerais
Ne t'enfuis pas!
Tu as des ailes,
Le pouvoir de me quitter.
Tu es tombe - You fell
Du ciel comme un ange, la-la-la
Et j'ai peur
Que le ciel
Te reprenne.
Si les grands yeux de mon Dieu
Ne me gardaient pas,
Je te volerais.
Je viens
Comme un chat
Par la nuit si noire.
Je t'en prie,
Je t'en prie,
Je t'en prie,
Je t'en prie,
Je t'en prie,
Je t'en prie--
Ne t'enfuis
Pas!
English Translation:
Don't Fly Away
I am coming
Like a cat
Through the night so black.
You are waiting,
And I fall
Into your white wings, la-la-la...
And I fly,
And I sink
Like a feather.
If the great eyes of my God
Were not watching (over) me,
I would steal you away.
Don't fly away!
You have wings,
The power to leave me.
You fell
From the sky like an angel, la-la-la
And I'm afraid
That the sky
Will take you back.
If the great eyes of my God
Weren't watching (over) me,
I would steal you away.
I am coming
Like a cat
Through the night so black.
I beg you,
I beg you,
I beg you,
I beg you,
I beg you,
I beg you--
( Instrumental )
When rainy nights are soft with tears,
And Autumn leaves are falling,
I hear his voice on tumbling waves
And no one there to hold me.
At evening's fall he watched me walk.
His heart was mine.
But my love was young, and felt
The world was not cruel, but kind.
Where Lagan's light fell on the hour,
I saw him far below me--
Just as the morning calmed the storm--
With no one there to hold him.
My loves have come, my loves have gone,
And nothing's left to warn me,
Save for a voice on the traveling wind,
And the glimpse of a face at morning
{Oh thou, who gives sustenance to the universe
From whom all things proceed
To whom all things return
Unveil to us the face of the true spiritual sun
Hidden by a disc of golden light
That we may know the truth
And do our whole duty
As we journey to thy sacred feet}
Well I said, "Lily, oh Lily I don't feel safe
I feel that life has blown a great big hole
Through me" And she said
"Child, you must protect yourself
You can protect yourself
I'll show you how with fire"
Gabriel before me
Raphael behind me
Michael to my right
Uriel on my left side
In the circle of fire
I said, "Lily, no Lily I'm so afraid
I fear I am walking in the Veil of Darkness"
And she said, "Child, take what I say
With a pinch of salt
And protect yourself with fire"
Gabriel before me
Raphael behind me
Michael to my right
Uriel on my left side
In the circle of fire
He doesn't do, doesn't do, doesn't do
No don't don't don't
This must be used
Gabriel before me
Raphael behind me
Michael to my right
Uriel on my left side
Hmm, in the circle of fire
Oh, Gabriel before me, you'll
Raphael behind me
Michael to my right
Uriel on my left side
I fell in love with a swan.
My eyes were filled with feathers,
He filled me with song,
In the reedy river,
In the reedy river.
I in my boat long hours,
He in his royal plumage--
I threw him some flowers,
In the reedy river,
In the reedy river.
Black was the night and starry.
I loosened off my garments
And let forth my hair,*
In the reedy river,
In the reedy river.
Sadly we mourned and sighed,
Whilst in evening twilight
Two swans glide and fly
In the reedy river,
In the reedy river,
("Two swans glide and fly")
In the reedy river.
("Two swans glide and fly")
After the party
You took me back to your parlour.
A little nervous laughter
Locking the door.
My stockings fall
Onto the floor.
Desperate for more.
Nobody else can share this.
Here comes one and one makes one,
The glorious union.
Well it could be love,
Or it could be just lust,
But it will be fun.
It will be wonderful.
Oh, feel it. Oh, oh feel it,
Feel it, my love.
Oh, feel it. Oh, oh feel it,
Feel it, my love.
Oh, I need it. Oh, oh, feel it,
Feel it, my love.
Feel it!
See what you're doing to me?
God, but you're beautiful, aren't you?
Feel your warm hand walking around.
I won't pull away.
My passion always wins.
So keep on a-moving in.
So keep on a-tuning in.
Synchronise rhythm now.
Oh, feel it. Oh, oh feel it,
Feel it, my love.
Oh, feel it. Oh, oh feel it,
Feel it, my love.
Oh, I need it. Oh, oh, feel it,
Feel it, my love.
Feel it!
See what you're doing to me?
See what you're doing to me?
Just see what you're doing to me.
Could you see the aisles of women?
Could you see them screaming & weeping?
Could you see the storm rising?
Could you see the guy who was driving?
Could you climb higher and higher?
Could you climb right over the top?
Why does a multi millionaire
Fill up his home with priceless junk?
The wind is whistling
The wind is whistling
Though the house
Elvis are you out there somewhere
Looking like a happy man?
In the snow with Rosebud
And king of the mountain
Another Hollywood waitress
Is telling us she's having your baby
And there's a rumour that you're on ice
And you will rise again someday
And there's a photograph
Where you're dancing on your grave
The wind is whistling
The wind is whistling
Through the house
Elvis are you out there somewhere
Looking like a happy man?
In the snow with Rosebud
And king of the mountain
The wind it blows
The wind it blows the door closed
We were working secretly
For the military.
We only know in theory
What we are doing:
Music made for pleasure,
Music made to thrill.
It was music we were making here until
They told us
All they wanted
Was a sound that could kill someone
From a distance.
So we go ahead,
And the meters are over in the red.
It's a mistake in the making.
It could feel like falling in love.
It could feel so bad.
But it could feel so good.
It could sing you to sleep--
I'll bet my mum's gonna give me a little toy instrument!
But that dream is your enemy.
We won't be there to be blamed.
We won't be there to snitch.
I just pray that someone there
Can hit the switch.
But they told us
All they wanted
Was a sound that could kill someone
From a distance.
So we go ahead,
And the meters are over in the red.
It's a mistake we've made.
And the public are warned to stay off.
Ooh, he's a moody old man.
Song of summer in his hand.
Ooh, he's a moody old man.
...in...in...in his hand.
...in his hand.
"Hmm."
Ooh, ah, ooh, ah,
Delius,
Delius amat.
Syphilus,
Deus,
Genius, ooh.
To be sung of a summer night on the water.
Ooh, on the water.
"Ta, ta-ta!
Hmm.
Ta, ta-ta!
In B, Fenby!"
To be sung of a summer night on the water
Ooh, on the water.
On the water.
We take all the telescopes
And we turn them inside out
And we point them away from the big sky
Put your eye right up to the glass, now
And here we'll find the constellation of the heart
Steer your life by these stars
On the unconditional chance
'Tis here where Hell and Heaven dance
This is the constellation of the heart
We take all the telescopes
And we turn them inside out
And we point them away from the big sky
Put your eye right up to the glass, now
And here we'll find the constellation of the heart
The constellation of the heart
The constellation of the heart
We take all the telescopes
And we turn them inside out
And we point them away from the big sky
Put your eye right up to the glass, now
And here we'll find the constellation of the heart
The constellation of the heart
The constellation of the heart
Well we think you'd better wake up capt'n
There's something happen'n up ahead
We've never seen anything like it
We've never seen anything like it before
I want a full report
That's it
What do you mean, "That's it?"
That's all you get
You'd better do something 'bout it
What am I supposed to do about it?
We don't know, but you can't run away from it
Maybe you'd better face it
I can't do that
C'mon face it!
I can't do that
C'mon, c'mon face it
What am I gonna do?
It is gonna hurt, it is gonna hurt me bad?
Ooh here's the constellation of the heart
Who said anything about it hurting?
It's gonna be beautiful
It's gonna be wonderful
It's gonna be paradise
(Just being alive, it can really hurt...)
Ooh find me the man with the ladder
And he might lift me up to the stars
(Without the pain there'd be no learning
Without the hurting we'd never change.)
Oooh and if you see the woman with the key
I hear she's opening up the doors to Heaven
Oh and here comes the man with the stick
He said he'd fish me out of the moon
Ohoh here's the constellation of the heart
It is the constellation of the heart
Oh yes it is the constellation of the heart
One of the band told me last night
That music is all that he's got in his life.
So where does it go?
Surely not with his soul.
Will all of his licks and his R'n'B
Blow away?
Blow away
Blow away
Our engineer had a different idea
From people who nearly died but survived,
Feeling no fear of leaving their bodies here,
And went to a room that was soon full of visitors.
Hello Minnie, Moony, Vicious, Vicious, Buddy Holly, Sandy Denny.
Please don't thump me,
Don't bump me,
Don't dump me back there.
Please don't thump me,
Don't bump me,
I want to stay here.
Put out the light, then, put out the light.
Vibes in the sky invite you to dine.**
Dust to dust,
Blow to blow.
Bolan and Moony are heading the show tonight.
Hello Minnie, Moony, ("Bill " [?]), Vicious, Vicious,
Buddy Holly, Sandy Denny.
Please don't thump me,
Don't bump me,
Don't dump me back there.
Please don't thump me,
Don't bump me,
I want to stay here.
Oh big stripey lie moving
Like a wavy line
Coming up behind
All young gentle dreams drowning
In life's grief
Can you hang on me?
Don't want to hurt you baby
I only want to help you
I could be good for you
Your name is being called by sacred things
That are not addressed nor listened to
Sometimes they blow trumpets
Only want to help you
Never want to hurt you
I know I could be good for you
Oh my God it's a jungle in here
You've got wild animals loose in here
Want to help you
Never hurt you
Good for you
Hey all you little waves run away
Mmm run away
It is this that brings us together.
It is this that brings us together.
It's all right, darling,
We can do this together.
It's all right, darling,
I can think of nothing better.
I don't know you,
And you don't know me.
It is this that brings us together.
I don't know what you are
(It is this that brings us together.)
Looking for in me.
(It is this that brings us together.)
I don't know what I want,
But my heart is leading.
Am I yours? Are you mine?
We'll find all we're meant to find.
In your life, in my life,
There are secrets too dark
To let out, to let go of,
To get over.
But that's all right, baby.
That's all right by me.
'Coz, it's all right now.
(Just let me say)
Please, ( Yea, yo, yea, yo! )
Please, ( Yea, yo, yea, yo! )
Please, ( Yea, yo, yea, yo! )
Please be kind,
Be kind,
To my mistakes.
Be kind,
Be kind
To me.
Lum, lum, lum...
There's a city, draped in net
Fisherman net
And in the half light, in the half light
It looks like every tower
Is covered in webs
Moving and glistening and rocking
It's babies in rhythm
As the spider of time is climbing
Over the ruins
There were hundreds of people living here
Sails at the windows
And the planes came crashing down
And many a pilot drowned
And the speed boats flying above
Put your hand over the side of the boat
What do you feel?
My mother and her little brown jug
It held her milk
And now it holds our memories
I can hear her singing
€œLittle brown jug don't I love thee€
€œLittle brown jug don't I love thee€
Ho ho ho, hee hee hee
I hear her laughing
She is standing in the kitchen
As we come in the back door
See it fall
See it fall
Oh little spider climbing out of a broken jug
And the pieces will lay there a while
In a house draped in net
In a room filled with coral
Sails at the window
Forests of masts
Put your hand over the side of the boat
Put your hand over the side of the boat
Just look at your father
And you'll see how you took after him.
Me, I'm just another
Like my brothers
Of my mother's genes.
All they ever want for you
Are the things they didn't do.
All they ever wanted--a little clue.
All they ever wanted--the truth.
All they ever wanted--a little bit of you.
All they ever wanted,
But they never did get.
The whims that we're weeping for
Our parents would be beaten for
Leave the breast
And then the rest
And then regret you ever left.
All we're ever looking for
Is another open door.
All we ever look for--another womb.
All we ever look for--our own tomb.
All we ever look for--ooh, la lune.
All we ever look for--a little bit of you, too.
All we ever look for,
But we never do score.
All we ever look for--a god.
All we ever look for--ooh, a drug.
All we ever look for--a great big hug.
All we ever look for--a little bit of you.
All we ever look for--a little bit of you, too.
All we ever look for,
But we never do score.
Soon it will be the phase of the moon
When people tune in
Every girl knows about the punctual blues
But who's to know the power
Behind our moves
A day of coincidence with the radio
And a word that won't go away
We know what they'r all going to say
"G" arrives, funny, had a feeling he was on his way
(Chorus)
We raise our hats to the strange phenomena
Soul birds of a feather flock together
We raise out hats to the hand a-moulding us
Sure 'nuf-he has the answer
He has the answer
Om mani padme hum.
You pick up a paper, you read a name
You go out, it turns up again and again
You bump into a friend you haven't seen
For a long time
Then into another you only thought about last night
You hear your sister calling for you
But you don't know where from
You know there's something wrong
But you don't want to believe in a premonition
A long way up in light-years,
Just a pinpoint in space,
In a century of planetary storms,
Stranded at the moonbase,
The air is getting low.
The air is getting low.
Looking out at the roof-window,
I've seen many strange things,
From shooting stars to Stars 'n' Stripes
Thought I'd caught a glimpse of golden wings.
The air is getting low,
The air is getting low,
The air is getting low,
The air is getting low.
I got the vision of a big white dove.
I've heard the creaking of the pearly gates above.
I'm wond'ring why the big white dove
Is keeping me waiting, keeping me waiting,
Keeping me waiting, keeping me waiting,
Keeping me waiting, keeping me waiting.
Looking way down below me,
The worlds are all awhirl-whirly.
Won't you come along beside?
This place waits for company.
The air is getting low.
The air is getting low.
I leave my limbs behind me.
As I'm being lifted
Out into the, into the
Spiritual boom-boom abyss.
The air is getting low.
The air is getting low.
The air is getting low.
The air is getting low.
I got the vision of a big white dove.
I've heard the creaking of the pearly gates above.
I'm wond'ring why the big white dove
Is keeping me waiting, keeping me waiting,
Keeping me waiting, keeping me waiting,
We went up to the top of the highest hill
And stopped still, it was just so beautiful
It was just so beautiful, it was just so beautiful
This is where the shadows come to play
'Twixt the day and night, dancing and skipping
Along a chink of light
Somewhere in between, the waxing and the waning wave
Somewhere in between, what the song and silence say
Somewhere in between, the ticking and the tocking clock
Somewhere in a dream between, sleep and waking up
Somewhere in between, breathing out and breathing in
Like twilight is neither night nor morning
Not one of us would dare to break the silence
Oh, how we have longed for something
That would make us feel so
Somewhere in between, the waxing and the waning wave
Somewhere in between, the night and the daylight
Somewhere in between, the ticking and the tocking clock
Somewhere in between, what the song and silence say
Somewhere in between, breathing out and breathing in
I was born in a cloud...
Now I am falling.
I want you to catch me.
Look up and you'll see me.
You know you can hear me.
The world is so loud. Keep falling. I'll find you.
We're over a forest.
There's millions of snowflakes.
We're dancing.
The world is so loud. Keep falling and I'll find you.
I am ice and dust. I am sky.
I can see horses wading through snowdrifts.
My broken hearts, my fabulous dances.
My fleeting song, fleeting.
The world is so loud. Keep falling. I'll find you.
My broken hearts, my fabulous dance.
My fleeting song.
My twist and shout.
I am ice and dust and light. I am sky and here.
I can hear people.
I think you are near me now.
The world is so loud. Keep falling. I'll find you.
We're over a forest.
It's midnight at Christmas.
The world is so loud. Keep falling. I'll find you.
I think I can see you.
There's your long, white neck.
The world is so loud. Keep falling. I'll find you.
Now I am falling.
Look up and you'll see me.
The world is so loud. Keep falling. I'll find you.
In a moment or two.
I'll be with you.
The world is so loud. Keep falling. I'll find you.
Be ready to catch me.1.gif
Wednesday morning at five o'clock
As the day begins
Silently closing her bedroom door
Leaving the note that she hoped would say more
She goes downstairs to the kitchen
Clutching her handkerchief
Quietly turning the back door key
Stepping outside she is free
She (we gave her most of our lives)
Is leaving (sacrificed most of our lives)
Home (we gave her everything money could buy)
She's leaving home after living alone for
So many years (bye bye)
Father snores as his wife gets into her dressing gown
Picks up the letter that's lying there
Standing alone at the top of the stairs
She breaks down and cries to her husband
Daddy our baby's gone
Why would she treat us so thoughtlessly
How could she do this to me
She (We never thought of ourselves)
Is leaving (never a thought for ourselves)
Home (we struggled hard all our lives to get by)
She's leaving home after living alone for
So many years (bye bye)
Friday morning at nine o'clock she is far away
Waiting to keep the appointment she made
Meeting a man from the motor trade
She (what did we do that was wrong)
Is having (we didn't know it was wrong)
Fun (fun is the one thing that money can't buy)
Something inside that was always denied for
So many years (bye bye)
Uuh, baby, I'm hot just like an oven
I need some lovin'
And baby, I can't hold it much longer
It's getting stronger and stronger
And when I get that feeling
I want sexual healing
Sexual healing makes me feel so fine
Helps to relieve my mind
Sexual healing, baby
Sexual healing is something
That's good for me
Whenever blue tear drops are falling
And my emotional stability is leaving me
There is something I can do
I can get on the telephone and call you up, baby
And honey, I know you'll be there to relieve me
The love you give to me will free me
If you don't know the things you're dealing
Ooh, I can tell you, darling, that it's sexual healing
Sexual healing
Let's make love tonight
'Cause you do it right
Baby, I got sick this morning
A sea was storming inside of me
And baby, I think I'm capsizing
The waves are rising and rising
And when I get that feeling
I want sexual healing
Sexual healing makes me feel so fine
Helps to relieve your mind
Sexual healing, baby
Sexual healing is something
That's good for me and it's good for me
And it's so good to me, my baby
Ooh, come take control
Just grab a hold
Of my body and mind
Soon we'll be making it, we will doin' it fine
You're my medicine
Open up and let me in
Darling, you're so great
I can't wait for you to operate
When I get that feeling, I need sexual healing
When I get that feeling, I need sexual healing
When I get that feeling, I need sexual healing
When I get that feeling
Here in the studio,
As they're turning down the lights,
I lick my lips to start the first line -
How can this girl be me?
"Oh, little thing, are you looking lost?"
The vertigo, the need to lose."
Ooh, ooh...
They try to put me on the tapes begin to spin,
I feel a little sick and hope my notes are in,
I try to put it all in, do it for you,
Don't even know you but I need you to love me, too.
They try to put me on the tape begin to spin,
I feel a little sick and hope my notes are in,
I try to put it all in, do it for you,
Don't even know you but I need you to love me, too.
Scares me silly, but it gets me going,
Like a Romeo.
Scares me silly, but it gets me going,
Like a Romeo.
Scares me silly, but it gets me going.
Swimming amid the cans
I wonder can I goad myself into another take,
And keep the mood?
It's like a film - such balance.
I close my eyes to the cello solo and ache,
The music will never let me blow away you-oo.
You know the feeling when you're on the right track.
You fall in love and you're never gonna turn it back.
It's a part of you, they're so sensitive,
Oozing without me, filling over with secrets.
You know the feeling when you're on the right track.
You fall in love and you're never gonna turn it back.
It's a part of you, they're so sensitive,
Oozing without me, filling over with secrets.
Scares me silly, but it gets me going,
Like a Romeo.
Scares me silly, but it gets me going,
Like a Romeo.
You'll find me in a Berlin bar
In a corner, brooding
You know that I go very quiet
When I am listening to you
There's something special indeed
In all the places where I've seen you shine, boy
There's something very real in how I feel, honey
(Chorus)
It's in me, it's in me-and you know it's for real
Tuning in your saxophone
Doo-ba-doo-ba-doo
The candle is burning over your shoulder
Is throwing shadows on your saxophone
A surly lady in tremor
The stars that climb from her bowels
Those stars make towers on vowels
You'll never know that you had all of me
You'll never see the poetry you've stirred in me
Of all the stars I've seen that shine so brightly
I've never known or felt, in myself, so rightly
I see the people working and see it working for them,
And so I want to join in, but then I find it hurts me.
Some say that knowledge is something sat in your lap
Some say that knowledge is something that you never have
I see the people happy, so can it happen for me?
'Cos when I have no energy, there's nothing that can move me
Some say that knowledge is something that you never have
Some say that knowledge is something sat in your lap
Some say that heaven is hell, some say that hell is heaven.
I must admit, just when I think I'm king (I just begin)
Just when I think I'm king, I must admit (I just begin)
Just when I think I'm king
(I just begin)
I've been doing it for years, my goal is moving near
It says "Look I'm over here" then it up and disappears
Some say that knowledge is something sat in your lap
Some say that knowledge is ho ho ho
I want to be a lawyer, I want to be a scholar
But I really can't be bothered, ooh just
Gimme it quick, gimme it, gimme, gimme, gimme, gimme
Some say that knowledge is ho ho ho
Some say that knowledge is ho ho ho
Some say that heaven is hell, some say that hell is heaven
I must admit, just when I think I'm king (I just begin)
Just when I think I'm king, I must admit (I just begin)
Just when I think everything's going great (I just begin)
Hey I get the break
Hey I'm gonna take it all (I just begin)
When I'm king (just begin)
In my dome of ivory, a home of activity
I want the answers quickly, but I don't have no energy
I hold a cup of wisdom, but there is nothing within
My cup she never overfloweth and 'tis I that moan and groaneth
Some grey and white matter (give me the Karma Mama
A jet to Mecca, Tibet or Jeddah
To Salisbury, a monastery
The longest journey, across the desert
Across the weather, across the elements
I fell in love with Rinfy the gypsy.
He said when I grew up he'd marry me,
Carry me away on his steed.
"Don't worry, my baby!
Don't die, my funny little darling!
I'm going away for a little while,
And shouldn't be gone for very long."
Ooh, then I really fell for Geoffrey, our gardener.
He said he'd marry me, too.
Oh, and I believed him, just like a fool.
"Don't worry, my honey!
Don't die, my funny little doll!
I'm going away for a little while.
Shouldn't be gone for very long."
(Ooh, long, long, long...)
Playing canasta in c-cold rooms,
Playing canasta in cold rooms,
Playing canasta upstairs, downstairs,
And in my lover's...ooh...
I met a boy who took me upstairs,
Then took me in his arms and told me
I comforted him, uh-huh.
"Don't worry, my dear,
Don't cry, you weird little stranger. [ca. 2'29]
I'm going away.
You probably won't ever see me again."
Oh, yes, I know, I'm always falling,
Gazing at hazy goldfish in your swimming eyes.
How could I not lie there with you?
"Don't worry, my darling!
Don't die, my silly little baby!
I'm going away for a little while,
And shouldn't be gone for very long."
(Ooh, long, long, long!)

There's beauty in such a sacred structure, oh,
That thing that is nurtured and loved.
It's quite an occasion.
It's driving me crazy.
I'm not allowed to touch on lust.
I've gotta get a hold of myself.
I mustn't admit it.
I don't see why I shouldn't,
I don't see why I shouldn't,
I don't see why I shouldn't
Pick the rare flower.
I don't see why I shouldn't,
Well I don't see why I shouldn't,
I don't see why I shouldn't
Pick the rare flower.
Whoooo
Walking in a Paradise or Eden,
Whoa, temptation:
Give me one second to succumb.
It's calling me.
With a menacing whisper of,
Magic offer a-charming me./Magical world enchanting me.
Why I've gotta get a hold of myself,
You see, but it ain't easy.
I don't see why I shouldn't,
I don't see why I shouldn't,
I don't see why I shouldn't
Pick the rare flower.
I don't see why I shouldn't,
I don't see why I shouldn't,
I don't see why I shouldn't
Pick the rare flower.
Passing through air.
You mix the stars with your arms.
Walking through there.
The doom of eternity balms.
Skies of grey are not today.
Oh! Don't you throw my love away,
I need your loving, I need your loving.
Oh! Don't you pour down rain today,
I need your love, I need your care
So much, so much, so much!
Laughing through smiles.
You lick my love with the years.
Walking for miles.
You cool my brow with your tears.
Skies of grey are not today.
Oh! Don't you throw my love away,
I need your loving, I need your loving.
Oh! Don't you pour down rain today,
I need your love, I need your care
So much, so much, so much!
Oh! Don't you throw my love away,
I need your loving, I need your loving.
Oh! Don't you pour down rain today,
I need your loving, I need your loving.
Oh! Don't you throw my love away,
I need your loving, I need your loving.
I've been thinking about you
And I know you think of me too
And I only just met you
And I really don't know you
I can tell that you like me
Does it show that I like you too
Cause I only just met you
And I really don't know you
Smiling sweetly
Sweetly softly
So young and free
Take what you need cause there's nothing left
Take what you need cause there's nothing left
Take what you need cause there's nothing left
To see
Now it's 5 a.m. and look at me
Dawn is here and I still can not sleep
I just lie here writing songs for you
Whenever I look out french windows
It's always snowing outside.
And feel your body relax on mine,
Giving me all the good lines,
(Uh-huh)
All the good lines,
All the good lines...
Hot in the ice,
On fire inside,
A snowball.
Ah, but she's wonderful,
Set in the snow.
Ah, but she's wonderful,
Set in the snow.
Hot in the ice,
On fire inside,
A snowball.
Ah, but she's wonderful,
Set in the snow.
Ah, but she's wonderful,
Set in the snow.
A crystal layer of ice on our skin:
Very numb outside but warm within.
I bend to join our lips, but it's too cold
To kiss and hit. Is it you I'm feeling?
Is it you I'm feeling?
(Yeah)
Is it you I'm feeling?
Hot in the ice,
On fire inside,
A snowball.
Ah, but she's wonderful,
Set in the snow.
Ah, but she's wonderful,
Set in the snow.
Hot in the ice,
On fire inside,
A snowball.
Ah, but she's wonderful,
Set in the snow.
Ah, but she's wonderful,
On this midsummer night
Everyone is sleeping
We go driving
Into the moonlight
Could be in a dream
Our clothes are on the beach
These prints of our feet
Lead right up to the sea
No one, no one is here
No one, no one is here
We stand in the Atlantic
We become panoramic
We tire of the city
We tire of it all
We long for
Just that something more
Could be in a dream
Our clothes are on the beach
The prints of our feet
Lead right up to the sea
No one, no one is here
No one, no one is here
We stand in the Atlantic
We become panoramic
The stars are caught in our hair
The stars are on our fingers
A veil of diamond dust
Just reach up and touch it
The sky's above our heads
The sea's around our legs
In milky, silky water
We swim further and further
We diving down
We diving down
A diamond night
A diamond sea
And a diamond sky
We dive deeper and deeper
We dive deeper and deeper
Could be we are here
Could be in a dream
It came up on the horizon
Rising and rising
In a sea of honey, a sky of honey
A sea of honey, a sky of honey
Look at the light
At all the time it's a changing
Look at the light
Climbing up the aerial
Bright, white coming alive jumping off the aerial
All the time it's a changing like now
All the time it's a changing like then again
All the time it's a changing
You've never driven through a red light,
Or let your mind leave your body.
It's pitch black in bed every night:
You set the clock right for the morning alarm.
You've never wanted to start any fights,
Don't know a thing about tapping in on wires.
I fill the room with people
but still you sit empty,
Stuck like putty.
I tried to teach you good rock'n'roll,
But you couldn't get over the old one-two,
And nevertheless, you'll do.
Nevertheless, you'll do.
Nevertheless, I do.
You're getting up in the morning and put on your suit [ca. 0'55]
For the office, and leave me.
You come home all pushed and pulled,
At six-thirty in the evening.
The television, it takes you away
To a picture-world where I have no say in it.
I fill the room with people
but still you sit empty,
Stuck like putty.
I tried to teach you good rock'n'roll,
But you couldn't get over the old one-two,
And nevertheless, you'll do.
Nevertheless, you'll do.
I look at you and see
My life that might have been:
Your face just ghostly in the smoke.
They're setting fire to the cornfields
As you're taking me home.
The smell of burning fields
Will now mean you and here.
This is where I want to be.
This is what I need.
This is where I want to be.
This is what I need.
This is where I want to be,
But I know that this will never be mine.
Ooh, the thrill and the hurting.
The thrill and the hurting.
I know that this will never be mine.
I want you as the dream,
Not the reality.
That clumsy goodbye-kiss could fool me,
But I'm looking back over my shoulder
At you, happy without me.
This is where I want to be.
This is what I need.
This is where I want to be.
This is what I need.
This is where I want to be,
But I know that this will never be mine.
Ooh, the thrill and the hurting
Will never be mine.
The thrill and the hurting,
It will never be mine.
It can never be.
The thrill and the hurting
I remember it was that Wednesday
Oh, when it rained and it rained
They traipsed mud all over the house
It took hours and hours to scrub it out
All over the hall carpet
I took my mop and my bucket
And I cleaned and I cleaned
The kitchen floor until it sparkled
Then I took my laundry basket
And put all the linen in it
And everythin' I could fit in it
All our dirty clothes
That hadn't gone into the wash
And all your shirts
And jeans and things
And put them in the new
Washing machine
Washing machine
Washing machine
I watched them go 'round and 'round
My blouse wrappin' itself around your trousers
Oh, and the waves are goin' out
My skirt floatin' up around my waist
As I wade out into the surf
Oh, and the waves are comin' in
Oh, and the waves are goin' out
Oh, and you're standin' right behind me
Little fish swim between my legs
Oh, and the waves are comin' in
Oh, and the waves are goin' out
Oh, and the waves are comin' in
Out of the corner of my eye
I think, I see you standin' outside
But it's just your shirt, hangin' on the washing line
Wavin' its arm as the wind blows by
And it looks so alive
Nice and white
Just like it's climbed
Right out of my
Washing machine
Washing machine
Washing machine
Slooshy sloshy slooshy sloshy
Get that dirty shirty clean
Slooshy sloshy slooshy sloshy
Make those cuffs and collars gleam
Everything clean and shiny
Washing machine
Washing machine
roll his body
give him eyes
make him smile for me,
give him life
my hand is bleeding,
i run back inside
i turn off the light,
switch on a starry night
my window flies open
my bedroom fills with falling snow,
should be a dream but i'm not sleepy
i see his snowy white face but i'm not afraid
he lies down beside me
so cold next to me
i can feel him melting in my hand
melting, in my hand
he won't speak to me
his crooked mouth is full of dead leaves
full of dead leaves, bits of twisted branches and frozen garden,
crushed and stolen grasses from slumbering lawn
he is dissolving, dissolving before me and dawn will come soon
what kind of spirit is this?
our one and only tryst
his breath all misty,
and when i kiss his ice-cream lips
and his creamy skin,
his snowy white arms surround me
so cold next to me
i can feel him melting in my hand
melting, melting, in my hand
sunday morning
i can't find him
the sheets are soaking
and on my pillow
dead leaves, bits of twisted branches and frozen garden,
crushed and stolen grasses from slumbering lawn
i can't find him – misty
oh please can you help me?
he must be somewhere
open window closing,
oh but wait, it's still snowing
if you're out there,
i'm coming out on the ledge
When I find myself in times of trouble
Mother Mary comes to me
Speaking words of wisdom
Let it be
And in my hour of darkness
She is standing right it front of me
Speaking words of wisdom
Let it be
Let it be, let it be
Let it be, let it be
Whisper words of wisdom
Let it be
And when the broken hearted people
Living in the world agree
There will be an answer
Let it be
For though they may be parted there is
still a chance that they will see
There will be an answer
Let it be
Let it be, let it be
Let it be, let it be
yeah, there will be an answer
Let it be
Let it be, let it be
Let it be, let it be
Whisper words of wisdom
Let it be
Let it be, let it be
Let it be, let it be
Whisper words of wisdom
Let it be
And when the night is cloudy
There is still a light that shines on me
Shine until tomorrow
Let it be
I wake up to the sound of music
Mother Mary comes to me
Speaking words of wisdom
Let it be
Let it be, let it be
Let it be, let it be
There will be an answer
Let it be
Let it be, let it be
Let it be, let it be
There will be an answer
Let it be
Let it be, let it be
Let it be, let it be
Whisper words of wisdom
Lake Tahoe
Cold mountain water
Don't ever swim there
Just stand on the edge and look in there
And you might see a woman down there
They say some days, up she comes, up she rises, as if out of nowhere
Wearing Victorian dress.
She was calling her pet: “Snowflake! Snowflake!”
Tumbling like a cloud that has drowned in the lake
Just like a poor, porcelain doll...
Her eyes are open but no one's home
The clock has stopped
So long she's gone
No one's home
Her old dog is sleeping
His legs are frail now
But when he dreams,
He runs...
Along long beaches and sticky fields
Through the Spooky Wood looking for her.
The beds are made. The table is laid.
The door is open, someone is calling – it's a woman:
“Here boy, here boy! You've come home!
I've got an old bone and a biscuit and so much love
Miss me? Did you miss me?
Here's the kitchen – there's your basket
Here's the hall – that's where you wait for me
Here's the bedroom – you're not allowed in there
Here's my lap – that's where you rest your head
Here boy, oh you're a good boy
You've come home
Kashka from Baghdad lives in sin they say,
With another man,
But no-one knows who.
Old friends never call there,
Some wonder if life's inside at all,
If there's life inside at all.
But we know the lady who rents the room,
She catches them calling a la lune.
Chorus At night they're seen,
Laughing, loving,
They know the way
To be happy.
They never go for walks,
Maybe it's because the moon's not bright enough,
There's light in love you see.
I watch their shadows,
Tall and slim in the window opposite,
I long to be with them.
'Cos when all the alley-cats come out,
You can hear music from Kashka's house.
All the banners stop waving
And the flags stop flying
And the silence comes over
Thousands of soldiers
Thousands of soldiers
Who is that girl? Do I know her face?
Who is that girl?
Joanni, Joanni wears a golden cross
And she looks so beautiful in her armour
Joanni, Joanni blows a kiss to God
And she never wears a ring on her finger
All the cannon are firing
And the swords are clashing
And the horses are charging
And the flags are flying
And the battle is raging
And the bells, the bells are ringing
Who is that girl? Do I know her face?
Who is that girl?
Joanni, Joanni wears a golden cross
And she looks so beautiful in her armour
Joanni, Joanni blows a kiss to God
And she never wears a ring on her finger
Joanni, Joanni, Joanni, Joanni blows a kiss to God
And she just looks beautiful in her armour
"You see, I'm all grown up now."
He said,
"Just put your feet down child,
'Cause you're all grown up now."
Just like a photograph,
I pick you up.
Just like a station on the radio,
I pick you up.
Just like a face in the crowd,
I pick you up.
Just like a feeling that you're sending out,
I pick it up.
But I can't let you go.
If I let you go,
You slip into the fog...
This love was big enough for the both of us.
This love of yours was big enough to be frightened of.
It's deep and dark, like the water was,
The day I learned to swim.
He said,
"Just put your feet down, child.
"Just put your feet down child,
The water is only waist high.
I'll let go of you gently,
Then you can swim to me."
Is this love big enough to watch over me?
Big enough to let go of me
Without hurting me,
Like the day I learned to swim?
"'Cause you're all grown up now.
Just put your feet down, child,
The water is only waist high.
I'll let go of you gently,
Then you can swim to me."
it lay buried here
it lay deep inside me
it's so deep I don't think that I can speak about it
it could take me all my life
but it would only take a moment to
tell you what I'm feeling
but I don't know if I'm ready yet
you come waltzing into this room
like you're walking into my arms
what would I do without you?
CHORUS
take away the love and the anger
and the little piece of hope holding us together
looking for a moment that'll never happen
living in the gap between past and future
take away the stone and the timber
and a little piece of rope won't hold it together
if you can't tell your sister
if you can't tell a priest
cause it's so deep you don't think
that you can speak about it to anyone
can you tell it to your heart?
can you find it in your heart
to let go of these feelings
like a bell to a southerly wind
we could be like two strings beating
speaking in sympathy
what would we do without you?
two strings speak in sympathy
(what would we do without you?)
CHORUS
you might not think so now
but just you wait and see
(someone will come to help you)
With my ego in my gut,
My babbling mouth would wash it up.
(But now I've started learning how,)
I keep it shut.
My door was never locked,
Until one day a trigger come cocking.
(But now I've started learning how,)
I keep it shut.
Wide eyes would clean and dust
Things that decay, things that rust.
(But now I've started learning how,)
I keep 'em shut.
I keep 'em shut.
Harm is in us.
Harm is in us, but power to arm.
Harm is in us.
Harm in us, but power to arm.
Harm is in us.
("Leave it open!")
Harm is in us, but power to arm.
Narrow mind would persecute it,
Die a little to get to it.
(But now I've started learning how.)
I leave it open.
I kept it in a cage,
Watched it weeping, but I made it stay.
(But now I've started learning how.)
I leave it open.
I leave it open.
Harm is in us.
Harm in us, but power to arm.
Harm is in us.
Harm in us, but power to arm.
Harm is in us.
("Leave it open!")
Harm in us, but power to arm.
Harm is in us.
Harm in us, but power to arm.
Harm is in us.
("Leave it open!")
Harm in us, but power to arm.
Harm is in us.
Harm in us, but power to arm.
Harm is in us.
Har in us, but power to arm.
Harm is in us!
Harm is in us!
Harm is in us!
Harm is in us!
Harm is in us!
Harm is in us--
Harm in you and in me!
What you letting in?
Tell me what you're letting in.
Say what we're gonna let in!
"We let the weirdness in.
We let the weirdness in.
We let the weirdness in.
We let the weirdness in.
We let the weirdness in."
The first time I died
Was in the arms of good friends of mine.
They kiss me with tears.
They hadn't been near me for years.
Say, why do it now
When I won't be around, I'm going out?
"We needed you
To love us too.
We wait for your move."
Only tragedy allows the release
Of love and grief never normally seen.
I didn't want to let them see me weep,
I didn't want to let them see me weak,
But I know I have shown
That I stand at the gates alone.
"I needed you
To love me too.
I wait for your move."
All the love, all the love,
All the love we should have given.
All the love, all the love,
All the love you could have given.
All the love, all the love,
All the love...
("Run for the hills...")*
The next time I dedicate
My life's work to the friends I make,
I give them what they want to hear.
They think I'm up to something weird
And up rears the head of fear in me.
So now when they ring
I get my machine to let them in.
"I needed you
To love me too.
I wait for your move."
All the love, all the love,
All the love you should have given.
All the love, all the love,
All the love we could have given.
All the love, all the love,
All the love...
"Take care, tootle-ooh."
"Bye-bye."
"Bye, so long now." [uncertain]
"Bye!"
"Later."
"Bye-ee!"
"Cheerio."
"Bye!"
"Bye-bye."
"Bye."
"stay healthy." [uncertain]
"Bye-ee!"
"Bye."
"Cheers."
"See ya, luv."
"Bye!"
"Good bye."
"I'll see ya, luv."
"Good night."
"We needed you
To love us too.
We wait for your move."
Babooshka
Babooshka
She wanted to test her husband
She knew exactly what to do
A pseudonym to fool him
She couldn?t have made the worst move
She sent him scented letters
And he received them
With a strange delight
Just like his wife
But how she was before the tears
And how she was before the years flew by
And how she was when she was beautiful
She signed the letter
All yours
Babooshka, babooshka, babooshka ya ya
All yours
Babooshka, babooshka, babooshka ya ya
Babooshka
She wanted to take it further
So she arranged a place to go
To see if he
Would fall for her incognito
And when he laid eyes on her
He got the feeling they had met before
Uncanny how she
Reminds him of his little lady
Capacity to give him all he needs
Just like his wife before she freezed on him
Just like his wife when she was beautiful
He shouted out
I?m all yours
Babooshka, babooshka, babooshka ya ya
All yours
Babooshka, babooshka, babooshka ya ya
All yours
Babooshka, babooshka, babooshka ya ya
Babooshka, babooshka, babooshka ya ya
Babooshka, babooshka, babooshka ya ya
Babooshka, babooshka, babooshka ya ya
Babooshka
Babooshka
Babooshka

You stood in the Belltower,
But now you're gone.
So we knows all the sights
Of Notre Dame?
They've got the stars for the gallant hearts,
I'm the replacement for your part,
But all I want to do it forget you friend.
Chorus Hammer Horror, Hammer Horror,
Won't leave me alone.
The first time in my life,
I keep the lights on,
To ease my soul.
Hammer Horror, Hammer Horror,
Won't leave it alone,
I don't know -
Is this the right thing to do?
Rehearsing in your things,
I feel guilty
And retracing all the scenes,
Of your big hit,
Oh God, you needed the leading role,
It wasn't me who made you go, though,
Now all I want to do is forget you, friend.
Chorus
Who calls me from the other side,
Of the street?
And who taps me on the shoulder?
I turn around, but you're gone.
I've got a hunch that you're following,
To get your own back on me
So all I want to do is forget you, friend.
Chorus
You came out of the night
Wearing a mask in white colour
My eyes were shining on the wine
And your aura
All in order, we move into the boudoir
But too soon, the morning has resumed
(Chorus)
I'm hanging on the Old Goose Moon
You look like an angel
Sleeping it off at a station
Were you only passing through?
I'm dying for you just to touch me
And feel all the energy rushing right up-a-me
L'amour looks something like you
The thoughts of you sends me shivery
I'm dressed in lace sailing down a black reverie
My heart is thrown to the pebbles
And the boatmen
All the time I find I'm living in that evening
With that feeling of sticky love inside
In that ocean.
Wide eyed and deeper in your gaze,
And bluer than the bright that's in the cave.
There is a city,
Came out from you, Atlantis
In ruins, sunken below the waves
But in the city,
Where there is no one.
What's the point of being free, eh?
When there is nothing there to tie me down,
Oh, no more here.
The bluest city,
Covered in coral and coral,
On sea chests,
And sealed Jamaician tales.
There is nobody
To count the soldiering meandering whales,
With a shoal of herring amongst the sails.
But in the city,
Where there is no one.
What's the point of being free, eh?
When there is nothing there to tie me down,
Oh, no more here.
Out in the garden, there's half of a heaven
And we're only bluffing
We're not ones for busting through walls
But they've told us unless we can prove
That we're doing it
We can't have it all.
He's gonna wangle a way to get out of it
She's an excuse
and a witness who'll talk when he's called
But they've told us
Unless we can prove that we're doing it
We can't have it all
We can't have it all
CHORUS:
Suddenly my feet are feet of mud
It all goes slow-mo
I don't know why I'm crying
Am I suspended in Gaffa?
Not until I'm ready for you
Not until I'm ready for you
Can I have it all?
I try to get nearer
But as it gets clearer
There's something appears in the way
It's a plank in me eye
With a camel who's trying to get through it
Am I doing it?
Can I have it all now?
I pull out the plank
and say thank you for yanking me back
To the fact
That there's always something to distract
But sometimes it's hard
To know if I'm doing it right
Can I have it all?
Can I have it all now?
We can't have it all
CHORUS
I won't open boxes that I am not told to
I'm not a Pandora
I'm much more like
That girl in the mirror
Between you and me
She don't stand a chance of
Getting anywhere at all
Not anywhere at all
No, not a thing
She can't have it all.
I've pulled down my lace and the chintz
Oh, do you know you have the face of a genius
I'll send your love to Zeus
Oh, by the time you read this, I'll be well in touch
(Chorus)
I'm giving it all in a moment or two
I'm giving it all in a moment for you
I'm giving it all, giving it, giving it-giving it
This kicking here inside makes me leave you behind
No more under the quilt to keep you warm
Your sister I was born-you must lose me
Like an arrow shot in the killer storm
You and me on the bobbing knee
Didn't we cry at that old mythology he'd read
I will come home again, but not until
The sun and moon meet on yon hill
(Chorus)
They call you an animal
The Kanchenjunga Demon
Wild man
Metoh, Kangmi
Lying in my tent
I can hear your cry
Echoing 'round the mountainside
You sound lonely
While crossing the Lhakpa La
Something jumped down from the rocks
In the remote Garo Hills by Dipu Marak
We found footprints in the snow
The schoolmaster of Darjeeling said
We saw you by the Tengboche monastery
You were playing in the snow
You were banging on the doors
You climbed up on the roof
Roof of the world
You were pulling up the rhododendrons
Loping down the mountains
They want to know you
They will hunt you down
Then they will kill you
Run away, run away
Run away
While crossing the Lhakpa La
Something jumped down from the rocks
In the remote Garo Hills by Dipu Marak
We found footprints in the snow
We found your footprints in the snow
We brushed them all away
From the Sherpas of Annapurna
To the Rinpoche of Qinghai
Shepherds from Mount Kailash to Himachal Pradesh
Found footprints in the snow
You're not a langur monkey,
Nor a big brown bear
You're the wild man
They say they saw you drown
In the Rongbuk glacier
They want to hunt you down
You're not an animal
The lamas say
It's alright I'll come 'round when you're not in
And I'll pick up all my things
Everything I have Ibought with you
But that's alright too
It's just everything I do
We did together
And there's a little piece of you
In whatever
I've got everything I need
I've got petrol in the car
I've got some money with me
There's just one problem
CHORUS
You're the only one I want
You're the only one I want
You're the only one I want
You're the only one I want
It's alright I know where I'm going
I'm going to stay with my friend
Mmm, yes, he is very good looking
The only trouble is
He's not you
He can't do what you do
He can't make me laugh and cry
At the same time
Let's change things
Let's danger it up
We're crazy enough
I just can't take it
CHORUS
I know where I'm going
But I don't want to leave
I just have one problem
We're best friends yeah?
We tied ourselves in knots
Doing cartwheels 'cross the floor
Just forget it alright
Sugar?
Honey?
Sugar?

Were the star
When there was no one,
You were in the sky
And I was nowhere to be seen.
You have fallen, oh my star
And you have lost your faith,
And tomorrow means the same to me,
To all.
Nevermind
For tomorrow
Will be
Half a genius shining
You were the star
When there was no one,
You were in the sky
And I was nowhere to be seen.
Now you have fallen, oh my star
And you have lost your faith
And tomorrow means the same to me,
To you,
To all.
Nevermind
For tomorrow
Will be
Half a genius shining
What a lovely afternoon
On a cloudbusting kind of day.
We took our own 'Mystery Tour'
And got completely lost somewhere up in the hills.
And we came up on a bee-keeper,
------------------------
Out on the wiley, windy moors
We'd roll and fall in green
You had a temper, like my jealousy
Too hot, too greedy
How could you leave me?
When I needed to possess you
I hated you, I loved you too
Bad dreams in the night
They told me I was going to lose the fight
Leave behind my wuthering, wuthering
Wuthering Heights.
(Chorus)
Heathcliff, it's me, Cathy come home
I'm so cold, let me in-a-your window
Oh it gets dark, it gets lonely
On the other side from you
I pine alot, I find the lot
Falls through without you
I'm coming back love, cruel Heathcliff
My only one dream, my only master
Too long I roam in the night
I'm coming back to his side to put it right
I'm coming home to wuthering, wuthering
Wuthering Heights (Chorus)
Oh let me have it, let me grab your soul away
Oh let me have it, let me grab your soul away
We're all alone on the stage tonight
We've been told, we're not afraid of you
We know all our lines so well, ah-ha
We've said them so many times
Time and time again, line and line again
Ooh yeah, you're amazing
We think you're incredible
You say we're fantastic
But still we don't head the bill
Wow, wow, wow, wow, wow, wow
Unbelievable
Wow, wow, wow, wow, wow, wow
Unbelievable
When the actor reaches his death
You know it's not for real, he just holds his breath
But he always dives too soon, too fast to save himself
He'll never make the screen
He'll never make "The Sweeney", be that movie queen
He's too busy hitting the vaseline
Ooh yeah, you're amazing
We think you are really cool
We'd give you a part my love
But you'd have to play the fool
Wow, wow, wow, wow, wow, wow
Unbelievable
Wow, wow, wow, wow, wow
Unbelievable
We're all alone on the stage tonight
You can't hear me
You can't hear me
You can't hear what I'm saying
You can't hear what I'm saying to you.
You watch the clock
Move the slow hand
I should have been home
Hours ago - but I'm not here,
but I'm not here,
You can't hear me
You can't hear me
You can't feel me
Here in the room with you now,
You can't hear what I am saying,
You don't hear what I am saying do you.
Can't let you know
What's been happening
There's a ghost in our home
Just watching you without me
I'm not here, but I'm not here, but I'm not here.
You can't hear me, you can't hear what I'm saying
You didn't hear me come in
It wouldn't take me long
To tell you how to find it
To tell you where we'll meet
This little girl inside me
Is retreating to her favourite place
Go into the garden, go under the ivy
Under the leaves, away from the party
Go right to the rose
Go right to the white rose
I sit here in the thunder
The green on the gray
I feel it all around me
And it's not easy for me
To give away a secret
It's not safe
To go into the garden, go under the ivy
Under the leaves, away from the party
Go right to the rose
Go right to the white rose
Go into the garden, go under the ivy
Go under the leaves with me
Go right to the rose
Go right to the white rose
I'll be waiting for you
It wouldn't take me long
It's wonderful
Everything, so white.
The river has frozen over
Not a soul on the ice,
Only me, skating fast.
I'm speeding past trees leaving
Little lines in the ice,
Cutting out little lines,
In the ice, splitting, splitting sound,
Silver heels spitting, spitting snow
There's something moving under
Under the ice,
Moving under ice - through water
Trying to get out of the cold water
"It's me"
Something, someone - help them
Je dis bonne nuit-nuit.
Je le borde dans le lit.
Mais ca ne va pas.
Qu'est-ce que c'est? Un baiser.
Ca me fait fremir.
Je n'ai jamais avant
Aimee un enfant
Sans controle.
Il n'est qu'un jeune, et a l'ecole.
Chez nous ils n'aimeront pas.
Sa petite main joue dans mon coeur,
Juste la ou ca fait mal.
Toc-toc. Qui est dans ce bebe?
Tu sais bien y faire.
Toutes les barrieres tombent.
Ca va se voir.
Ca se voit. Ca se voit. Ce se voit.
Je ne peux laisser faire
Je le regretterais.
Ouh, il m'effraie!.
Il y a un homme la dans les yeux.
Je le vois en me penchant.
Ouh, il me fait peur
Quand ils chuchotent entre eux.
Le vent souffle.
Sur leurs levres des caresses
Qui parlent de l'amour.
Je veux frapper, je me retiens.
Je veux juste toucher.
Je dois rester et arreter
Tout ca avant qu'il soit trop tard!
Toutes les barrieres tombent.
Ca va ce voir.
One more step to the top of the city
Where just a couple of pigeons are livin'
Up on the angel's shoulders
I don't know if I'm closer to heaven but
It looks like hell down there
These streets have never been paved with gold
Welcome to the loneliest city in the world
It's no good for you, baby
It's no good for you, now
Keep lookin' up for the ladder
I don't know if you'll love me for it
But I don't think we should suffer this
There's just one thing we can do about it
Take me up to the top of the city
Take me up to the top of the city
Take me up to the top of the city
Put me up on the angel's shoulders
See how that buildin' there is nearly built
There's a big fire over on the north of the city
I see you walkin' down the street with her
I see your lights goin' on and off
She's no good for you, baby
She's no good for you, now
Look, I'm here with the ladder
I don't know if you love me or not
But I don't think we should ever suffer
There's just one thing we can do about this
Take me up to the top of the city
Take me up to the top of the city
Up to the highest point of the city
One more step to the top of the city
Put me up on the angel's shoulders
I don't mind if it's dangerous
I don't mind if it's rainin'
Take me up to the top of the city
And put me up on the angel's shoulders
Take me up to the top of the city
Mmm yes, one more step to the top of the city
An' put me up on the angel's shoulders
Ooo, aaa
Ooo, aaa
Pray God you can cope
I stand outside
This woman's work
This woman's world
Oooh, it's hard on the man
Now his part is over
Now starts the craft of the father
I know you have a little life in you yet
I know you have a lot of strength left
I know you have a little life in you yet
I know you have a lot of strength left
I should be crying
But I just can't let it show
I should be hoping
But I couldn’t stop thinking
All the things I should've said
That I never said
All the things we should of done
That we never did
All the things I should've given
But I didn't
Oh darling make it go
Make it go away
Give me these moments back
Give them back to me
Give me that little kiss
Give me your hand
I know you have a little life in you yet
I know you have a lot of strength left
I know you have a little life in you yet
I know you have a lot of strength left
I should be crying
But I just can't let it show
I should be hoping
But I can’t stop thinking
All the things I should've said
That I never said
All the things we should of done
That we never did
All the things that you needed from me
All the things that you wanted from me
All the things I should've given
But I didn't
Oh darling make it go away
Rolling the ball, rolling the ball, rolling the ball to me
They arrived at an inconvienient time
I was hiding in a room in my mind
They made me look at myself
I saw it well, I'd shut the people out of my life
So now I take the opportunities
Wonderful teachers ready to teach me
I must work on my mind
For now I realize that everyone of us
Has a heaven inside
(Chorus)
Them heavy people hit me in a soft spot
Them heavy people help me
Them heavy people hit me in a soft spot
Rolling the ball, rolling the ball, rolling the ball to me
They open doorways that I thought were shut for good
They read me Gurdjieff and Jesu
They build up my body
Break me emotionally, it's nearly killing me
But what a lovely feeling!
I love the whirling of the Dervishes
I love the beauty of rare innocence
You don't need no crystal ball
Don't fall for a magic wand
We humans got it all, we perform the miracles
No, I'll never give the hunt up,
And I won't muck it up.
Somehow, this was it,
I knew,
Maybe fate wants you dead too,
We've come together in the very same room,
And I'm coming for you.
Did you think I'd ever let you,
get away with it, huh?
He swooned in a warm maroon.
There's gas in your barrel,
And I'm flooded with Doom.
You've made a wake of our honeymoon,
And I'm coming for you.
Chorus
All of the headlines said "Passion Crime",
"Newly Weds, Groom Shot Dead, Mystery Man"
God help the bride.
She's a widow, all in Red, with his Red, still wet-
She said (But she sure put him on the Wedding List)
I'll put him on the Wedding List
I'll get him on the the Wedding List
I'll get him on and
I will not miss.
Now as I'm coming for you-All I see is Rudi,
I die with him again and again,
And I'll feel good in my revenge,
I'll gonna fill your head with lead,
And I'm coming for you.
And when it's all over, you'll roll over,
The butt of my gun,
One in your belly and one for Rudi,
You got what you gave by the heel of my bootie,
Bang-Bang, out! Like an old cherootie,
The song of Solomon
The song of everyone
Who walks the path
Of the solitary heart
The soul cries out
Hear a woman singing
Don't want your bullshit, yeah
Just want your sexuality
Don't want excuses, yeah
Write me your poetry in motion
Write it just for me, yeah
An' sign it with a kiss
Just take any line
Comfort me with apples
For I am sick of love
His left hand is under my head
And his right hand
Does embrace me
This is the song of Solomon
Here's a woman singing
Don't want your bullshit, yeah
Just want your sexuality
Don't want excuses, yeah
Write me your poetry in motion
Write it just for me, yeah
And sign it with a kiss
And I'll do it for you
I'll be the rose of Sharon for you
I'll do it for you
I'll be the lily of the valley for you
I'll do it for you
I'll be Isolde or Marion for you
I'll do it for you
I'll come in a hurricane for you
I'll do it for you
Wop bam boom
Don't want your bullshit, yeah
Mmh, yes,
Then I'd taken the kiss of seedcake back from his mouth
Going deep South, go down, mmh, yes,
Took six big wheels and rolled our bodies
Off of Howth Head and into the flesh, mmh, yes,
He said I was a flower of the mountain, yes,
But now I've powers o'er a woman's body--yes.
Stepping out of the page into the sensual world.
Stepping out...................
To where the water and the earth caress
And the down of a peach says mmh, yes,
Do I look for those millionaires
Like a Machiavellian girl would
When I could wear a sunset? mmh, yes,
And how we'd wished to live in the sensual world
You don't need words--just one kiss, then another.
Stepping out of the page into the sensual world
Stepping out, off the page, into the sensual world.
And then our arrows of desire rewrite the speech, mmh, yes,
And then he whispered would I, mmh, yes,
Be safe, mmh, yes, from mountain flowers?
And at first with the charm around him, mmh, yes,
He loosened it so if it slipped between my breasts
He'd rescue it, mmh, yes,
And his spark took life in my hand and, mmh, yes,
I said, mmh, yes,
But not yet, mmh, yes,
Oh she move like the diva do
I said "I'd love to dance like you"
She said "Just take off my red shoes
Put them on and your dream'll come true"
With no words, with no song
You can dance the dream, with your body on
And this curve, is your smile
(Yeah woo, yeah woo woo)
And this cross, is your heart
(Yeah woo, yeah woo woo)
And this line, is your path
(Yeah woo, yeah woo woo)
Oh, it's gonna be the way you always thought it would be
But it's gonna be no illusion
Oh, it's gonna be the way you always dreamt about it
But it's gonna be really happenin' to ya
Really happenin' to ya
Really happenin' to ya
Oh the minute I put them on
I knew, I had done somethin' wrong
All her gifts for the dance had gone
It's the red shoes, they can't stop dancin', dancin'
And this curve, is your smile
(Yeah woo, yeah woo woo)
And this cross, is your heart
(Yeah woo, yeah woo woo)
And this line, is your path
(Yeah woo, yeah woo woo)
Oh, it's gonna be the way you always thought it would be
But it's gonna be no illusion
Oh, it's gonna be the way you always dreamt about it
But it's gonna be really happenin' to ya'
She gotta dance, she gotta dance
And she can't stop 'til them shoes come off
These shoes do, a kind of voodoo
They're gonna make her dance 'til her legs fall off
Feel your hair come tumblin' down
Feel your feet start kissin' the ground
Feel your arms are openin' out
And see your eyes are lifted to God
With no words, with no song
I'm gonna dance the dream
And make the dream come true
I'm gonna dance the dream
And make the dream come true
She gotta dance, she gotta dance
(Yeah)
And she can't stop 'til them shoes come off
These shoes do, a kind of voodoo
(Yeah)
They're gonna make her dance 'til her legs fall off
Call a doctor, call a priest
They're gonna whip her up like a helicopter
Really happenin' to ya
Really happenin' to ya
You gotta dance
You gotta dance
You gotta dance
The long and winding road
That leads to your door
Will never disappear
I've seen that road before
It always leads me her
Lead me to you door
The wild and windy night
That the rain washed away
Has left a pool of tears
Crying for the day
Why leave me standing here
Let me know the way
Many times I've been alone
And many times I've cried
Any way you'll never know
The many ways I've tried
But still they lead me back
To the long winding road
You left me standing here
A long long time ago
Don't leave me waiting here
Lead me to your door
But still they lead me back
To the long winding road
You left me standing here
A long long time ago
Don't leave me waiting here
Lead me to your door
The king is dead
No doubt about it
We came a long way
Just to say goodbye
And in the end
It was some old swansong
The king is dead
You'd never know it
But we got pictures
Of a different man
He's flesh and blood
No-one knows all the answers
Some days we just do the best we can
You changed my mind in a minute
It breaks my heart to admit it
Don't make me say...
The king is dead
The show is over
We came a long way
Just to turn around
Lesson learned
No-one knows all the answers
Some days we just do the best we can
You changed my mind in a minute
It breaks my heart to admit it
Don't make me say...
You let me in behind the lies
But you're no use to me lifesize
No-one's to blame
I say goodnight-night,
I tuck him in tight,
But things are not right-
What is this? an infant kiss,
That sends my body tingling,
I've never fallen for,
A little boy before,
No control,
Just a kid and just a school,
Back home they'd call me dirty,
His little hand is on my heart,
He's got me where it hurts me.
Knockn , knock, who's there in this baby?
You know how to work me.
Chorus
And all my barriers are going,
It's starting to show.
Let go, let go.
I cannot sit and let,
Something happen I'll regret,
Ooh, he scares me,
There's a man behind those eyes,
I catch him when I'm bending.
Ooh, how he frightens me.
When they whisper privately,
Windy-wailey, blows me,
Words of caress on their lips,
That speak of adult love.
I want to smack but
I hold back.
I only want to touch.
But I must astay and find a way, to stop before it gets too much.
It's of a pretty female
As you may understand.
Her mind being bent for rambling
Unto some foreign land,
She dressed herself in sailor's clothes,
Or so it does appear,
And she hired with a captain
To serve him for a year.
[The captain's wife she being on board,
She seemed in great joy
To think the captain had engaged
Such a handsome cabin boy,
That now and then she'd slip him a kiss,
And she'd have liked to toy,
But 'twas the captain found out the secret
Of the handsome cabin boy.]
Her cheeks they were like roses
And her hair rolled in a curl.
The sailors often smiled and said
He looked just like a girl.
But eating of the captain's biscuit
Her colour did destroy,
And the waist did swell of pretty Nell,
The handsome cabin boy.
It was in the bay of Biscay
Our gallant ship did plow.
One night among the sailors
Was a fearful flurry and row.*
They tumbled from their hammocks
For their sleep it did destroy,
And they sworn about the groaning
Of the handsome cabin boy.
"Oh doctor, dear, oh doctor,"
The cabin boy did cry.
"My time has come, I am undone,
And I will surely die."
The doctor come a-runnin'
And a-smilin' at the fun.
To think a sailor lad should have
A daughter or a son.
The sailors when they saw the joke
They all did stand and stare.
The child belonged to none of them,
They solemnly did swear.
The captain's wife, she says to him,
"My dear, I wish you joy,
For 'tis either you or me's betrayed
The handsome cabin boy!"
[Now sailors, take your tot of rum
And drink success to trade,
And likewise to the cabin boy
That was neither man nor maid.
Here's hoping the wars don't rise again
Our sailors to destroy,
Disappears through a window.
Out of my mind
Trying to keep him at home.
Out into Rome
In the early hours,
Leaving me here
Like Tamlaine in her Tower.
You are going
To the empty bullring,
Taking your red cloak
To regain something.
Oh, you rolling matador,
Kill in your eyes
For the toro
That shut the door
To glory and gore.
The throw of the rose--
It's all you lived for,
But you've lost it all.
Your red streak
On the plot where many feet
Left it incomplete.
But you kept the meaning.
You feel him charge again,
And you feel him cut you down
Right on the spot
Where you thought
You were ground for good.
These flights of fantasy
Make your wounds more sore,
But you've every right
To even grab at the last straw.
Oh, Lord...
Oh, you rolling matador,
Kill in your eyes
For the toro
That shut the door
To glory and gore.
The throw of the rose--
It's all you lived for,

Many an Aborigine's mistaken for a tree
'Til you near him on the motorway

Coming in with the golden light is the New Man
Coming in with the golden light in my dented van

And push them from the Pull Of The Bush

You find them in the road

In the road
Coming in with the golden light - in the morning
Coming in with the golden light - with no warning
Coming in with the golden light - we bring in the rigging

I spent a lot of my time looking at blue,
the colour of my room and my mood,
Blue on the walls, Blue out of my mouth,
The sort of blue between clouds when the sun comes
out,
The sort of blue in those eyes you get hung up about.
When that feeling of meaninglessness, sets in,
Go blowing my mind on God.
The light in the dark with the neon arms,
The meek He seeks, the beast He calms,
The head of the good soul Department.
Chorus I see myself suddenly on the piano,
As a melody.
My terrible fear of dying, no longer
Plays with me.
For now I know that I'm needed
For the symphony.
I associate love with Red,
The colour of my heart when she's dead,
Red in my mind when the jealousy flies,
Red in my eyes from the emotional ties.
Manipulation, the danger signs.
The more I think about sex,
The better it gets,
Here we have a purpose in life.
Good for the blood circulation,
Good for releasing the tension,
The root of our reincarnations.
James, come on home
You've been gone too long baby
We can't let out hero die alone
We miss you day and night
You left town to live by the rifle
You left us to fight
But it just ain't right to take away the light
(Chorus)
Remember Genie, from the casino
She's still a-waiting in her big brass bed
The boys from your gang are knocking whiskey back
'Till they get out of hand
And wish they were dead
They're only lonely for the life they led
With their old friend
Ooh, James are you selling your soul to a cold gun?
Where lies your heart?
It's not there in the buckskin baby
It's not there in the gin that makes you laugh long and loud
You're a coward James
Your running away from humanity
You're running out on reality
It won't be funny when they
Rat-a-tat-tat you down
It's been such a long week,
So much crying.
I no longer see a future.
I've been told, when I get older
That I'll understand it all,
But I'm not sure if I want to.
Running into her arms,
At the school gates
She whispers that I'm a poor kid,
And granny takes me on her knee,
She tells me I'm too sensitive,
She makes me sad.
She makes me feel like and old man.
Chorus They took the game right out of it,
They took the game right out of it.
When, When I am a man,
I will be an astronaut,
And find Peter Pan,
Second Star on the right
Straight on 'til morning.
Dennis loves to look in the mirror,
He tells me that he is beautiful,
So I look too, and what Do I see?
My eyes are full,
But my face is empty.
He's got a photo,
Of his hero,
He keeps it under his pillow,
But I've got a pin-up from a newspaper,
Of Peter Pan.
I found it in a locket, I hide it in my pocket.
Chorus
When you wish upon a star,
Makes no difference who you are.
When you wish upon a star,
Somewhere a door is opening
Somewhere a door is closing
Somewhere somebody dies
Somewhere a newborn baby cries
Maybe the love has gone
But there's still a heart that's beating
Though the clouds have come
Maybe the sun will come out
And the storm is coming back
Maybe you'll be coming back
'Cause I'm still waiting
Baby, well, I'm still waiting
Baby, well, I'm still waiting
Somewhere a door is opening
Maybe the love has gone
But there's still a heart that's beating
Though the clouds have come
Maybe the sun will come out
Maybe you'll be coming back
'Cause there's still a heart that's beating
Though the clouds have come
Oh, maybe the sun will come out
Maybe you'll be coming back
There's still a heart that's beating
Maybe the sun will come out
They say the storm will be coming back
Maybe you'll be coming back
'Cause I'm still waiting
Baby, well, I'm still waiting
Well, I'm still waiting
Oh, I'm waiting
Oh, I'm waiting
Oh Davy, you may have many words
And many thoughts for you're near
You're so like a star upon me
So like a star upon me
To be one in your garden
Humming, humming, humming
Oh Davy, you may have many words
And many songs for you're near
You're so like a star upon me
So like a star upon me
To be one in your garden
Humming, humming, humming
Oh Davy, you may have many words
And many songs for you're near
You're so like a star upon me
So like a star upon me
To be one in your garden
I wait at the table
And hold hands with weeping strangers
Wait for you
To join the group
The tambourine jingle-jangles
The medium roams and rambles
Not taken in
I break the circle
I want this man
To go away now
With a kiss
I'd pass the key
And feel your tongue
Teasing and receiving
With your spit
Still on my lip
You hit the water
Him and I in the room
To prove you are with us too
He's using code that only you and I know
This is no trick of his
This is your magic
I'd catch the cues
Watchin' you
Hopin' you'd do somethin' wrong
Everybody thinks you'll never make it
But every time
You escape
Rosabel, believe
Not even eternity
Can hold Houdini
Rosabel, believe
Through the glass
I'd watch you breathe
(Not even eternity)
Bound and drowned
And paler than you've ever been
(Will hold Houdini)
With your life
The only thing in my mind
We pull you from the water
Houdini
(Houdini)
And I
Hello Earth
Hello Earth
With just one hand help up high
I can blot you out,
Out of sight
Peek-a-boo,
Peek-a-boo, Little Earth.
With just my heart and my mind
I can be driving,
Driving home
And you asleep on the seat.
I get out of my car,
Step into the night,
And look up at the sky
And there's something bright
Travelling fast.
Look at it go
Look at it go.
Watching storms
Start to form
Over America
Can't do anything
Just watch them swing
With the wind
Out to sea
All you sailors
(get out of the waves, get out of the water)
All life-savers
(get out of the waves, get out of the water)
All you cruisers
(get out of the waves, get out of the water)
All you fishermen
Head for home
Go to sleep little earth,
I was there at the birth,
Out of the cloud burst the head of the Tempest,
Murderer, Murderer, of calm,
Why did I go?
Why did I go?
Follow the Nile
Deep too much deeper
The Pyramids sound lonely tonight
The sands run red
In lands of the Pharaohs
Their symmetry gets right inside me
I cannot stop to comfort them
I'm busy chasing up my demon
I cannot stop to comfort them
I'm busy chasing up my demon
Oh, I'm in love with Egypt
My Pussy Queen
Knows all my secrets
I'll never fall in love again
I drift with dunes
I whisper of the tombs
They offer me Egyptian delights
You've got me with that feline guise
Got me in those desert eyes
You've got me with that feline guise
Got me in those desert eyes
Oh, I'm in love, oh, I'm in love
Split me open
With devotion
You put your hands in
And rip my heart out
Eat the music
Does he conceal
What he really feels?
He's a woman at heart
And I love him for that
Let's split him open
Like a pomegranate
Insides out
All is revealed
Not only women bleed
Take the stone out
Of the mango
You put it in your mouth
And pull a plum out
Take a papaya
You like a guava?
Grab a banana
And a sultana
Rip them to pieces
With sticky fingers
Split the banana
Crush the sultana
Split 'em open
With devotion
Put your hands in
And rip their hearts out
Like a pomegranate
Insides out
He's a woman at heart
And love him for that
Take a papaya
You like a guava?
Grab a banana
And a sultana
Rip 'em to pieces
With sticky fingers
Split the banana
Crush the sultana
All emotion
And with devotion
You put your hands in
What ya thinking?
What am I singing?
A song of seeds
The food of love
Rowan Atkinson:
For years I thought
I'd have to live alone
I never got a letter
Had to disconnect the phone
The only girls I ever saw
Were on TV
But now I've got a Venus
Who's sitting next to me
Both:
Do I love you?
Do I want you?
Would I give my life
To you if I could?
Do birds fly?
Do fish swim?
And do bears sha-la-la-la-la
In the woods?
Rowan:
I met her in the first class lounge
Of a jumbo jet
It was love at first sight
Romeo and Juliet
Kate:
He looked pretty rich
And I was down on m' luck
So I charged him a fortune
For a flying f...
Rowan:
...for crying out loud!
Both:
Do I love you?
Do I want you?
Would I sacrifice my life
To you if I could?
Is the Pope Catholic?
Is Luxembourg small?
And do those hairy bears shhh...
In the woods?
Rowan:
I introduced her round my friends
She was ace
I was no longer on Earth
But in better place
Kate:
He's an utter creep and he
Drives me round the bend
And so to alleviate the boredom
I sleep with his friends
Rowan:
Ho ha ho
Both:
Do I love you?
Do I want you?
Kate:
Would I tear out both my eyes
And fry them if I could?
Both:
Is the Bible fiction?
Is True Love a contradiction?
And do bears sha-la-la-la-la
In the woods?
Do I desire you?
Do I adore you?
Rowan:
Would I cut off all my toenails
And put them in an envelope with my feet?
Both:
Is Reagan Godhead?
Is Chairman Mao dead?
And do those bears sha-la-la-la-la?
Rowan [really Tim Brooke-Taylor]:
La-la-la-la-la-la-la-ah
Kate:
Mmmmm...
Rowan [Tim]:
And do those bears sha-la-la-la-la?
La-la-la-la-la-la-la-ah

Yeah-ye-yeah Yeah-ye-yeah
Both:
Do those bears sha-la-la-la-ah?

December will be magic again.
Take a husky to the ice
While Bing Crosby sings White Christmas. He makes you feel nice.
December will be magic again.
Old Saint Nicholas up the chimney,
Just a-popping up in my memory.
Ooh, dropping down in my parachute,
The white city, she is so beautiful
Upon the black-soot icicled roofs,
Ooh, and see how I fall.
See how I fall
("Fall!") [backwards]
Like the snow.
Come to cover the lovers.
(Cover the lovers,
But don't you wake them up.)
Come to sparkle the dark up.
(Sparkle the dark up,
With just a touch of make-up.)
Come to cover the muck up.
(Cover the muck up,
Ooh, with a little luck.)
December will be magic again.
Light the canDLe-lights
To conjure Mr. Wilde
Into the Silent Night.
Ooh, it's quiet inside,
Here in Oscar's mind.
December will be magic again.
Don't miss the brightest star.
Kiss under mistletoe.
I want to hear you laugh.
Don't let the mystery go now.
Ooh, dropping down in my parachute,
The white city, she is so beautiful
Upon the black-soot icicled roofs,
Ooh, and see how I fall.
See how I fall
("Fall!") [backwards]
Like the snow.
Come to cover the lovers.
(Cover the lovers,
But don't you wake them up.)
Come to sparkle the dark up.
(Sparkle the dark up,
With just a touch of make-up.)
Come to cover the muck up
(Cover the muck up,
Ooh, with a little luck.)
Oh, I'm coming to cover the lovers.
Ooh, and I'm coming to sparkle the dark up.
Down is your cellar
You're gettin' into makin' poison
You slipped some on the side into my glass of wine
And I don't want any coffee [Incomprehensible] homeground
Offer me a chocolate
No thank you, spoil my diet, know your game
Tell me just how come, these smell of bitter almonds?
It's a no no to your coffee [Incomprehensible] homeground

Aren't these walls got ears here?
You won't get me with your belladonna in the coffee
And you won't get me with your arsenic in the pot of tea
And you won't get me in a hole to rot with your hemlock
On the rocks
Where does the plumbers
Who went a missin' here on Monday?
There was a tall man with his companion and I
And I bet you gave them coffee [Incomprehensible] homeground
Maybe you're lonely
And only want a little company
Keep your recipes for the rats to eat
And may they rest in peace with coffee [Incomprehensible] homeground

Aren't these walls got ears here?
You won't get me with your belladonna, in the coffee
And you won't get me with your arsenic, in the pot of tea
And you won't put me in a six-foot plot, with your hemlock
On the rocks

Goodbye Norma Jean
Though I never knew you at all
You had the grace to hold yourself
While those around you crawled
They crawled out of the woodwork
And they whispered into your brain
They set you on a treadmill
And they made you change your name
And it seems to me you lived your life
Like a candle in the wind
Never knowing who to cling to
When the rain set in
And I would have liked to have known you
But I was just a kid
The candle burned out long before
Your legend ever did
Loneliness was tough
The toughest role you ever played
Hollywood created a superstar
And pain was the price you paid
Even when you died
Oh the press still hounded you
All the papers had to say
Was that Marilyn was found in the nude
And it seems to me you lived your life
Like a candle in the wind
Never knowing who to cling to
When the rain set in
Well I would have liked to have known you
But I was just a kid
The candle burned out long before
Your legend ever did
Goodbye Norma Jean
Though I never knew you at all
Goodbye Norma Jean
From the young man in the 22nd row
Who sees you as something as more than sexual
More than just Marilyn Monroe
And it seems to me you lived your life
Like a candle in the wind
Never knowing who to cling to
When the rain set in
Well I would have liked to have known you
But I was just a kid
The candle burned out long before
Your legend ever did
Goodbye Norma Jean
Goodbye Norma Jean
Goodbye
Come close to me
Come cross the bridge
I need to know what you have to say to me
(We've been waiting all night long)
What have you got to say to me?
(We've been waiting all night long)
Tell me all about it
(We've been waiting all night long)
Tell me please
(We've been waiting all night long)
Oh, I know
I know it works for me
As we cross the bridge
The burning bridge
With flames behind us
We front the line
It's you and me, baby, against the world
(We've been waiting all night long)
I've got to know what you have to say
(We've been waiting all night long)
What have you got to say?
(We've been waiting all night long)
(We've been waiting all night long)
I got to get love, listen now
(We've been waiting all night long)
Tell me all about it
(We've been waiting all night long)
All night long
(We've been waiting all night long)
All night long
(We've been waiting all night long)
All night long
It works for me
It's you and me, babe
(We've been waiting all night long)
Against the world
All night long
It works for me
Let's cross the bridge
Oh, I know
(We've been waiting all night long)
I know, I know
(We've been waiting all night long)
Waiting all night long
It's you and me, babe
When you stand next to me
It's all right
It's you and me, baby
He got her drunk very quickly:
holding hands they found the broom cupboard
where he had control as far as the fall,
the rasping descent of her tights.
When his hand covered wet hairs
she took over among furniture wax, dust,
the cloying yellow of polishing cloth.
When he was sick
she comforted him.
He couldn't do it properly: the club,
the office had left out details of delight.
Satisfied, he would collapse out,
puzzled at why she still squirmed,
held on to him, tears curling into her mouth.
This was something stories always omitted:
that her joy would seem like pain
when he focused after release.
In the third week of the relationship
she was tripping on organic acid,
would stop, pick up a rained out leaf,
would give it into his hand,
full of dead things before they reached the car.
When they drove she sat with mouth open
as though photographed on the impact
of a stomach punch, her right hand gripping
the skin of his leg: he feared her,
slapped out sideways into her face.
She touched the cut with her tongue,
gurgling gratitude for the strange taste.
He stood looking through uncleaned windows,
concentrated on the yellow of his car below.
On the uncarpeted floor, with practice,
she closed her eyes and drew on the cigarette.
Twill jacket and polo-neck made him sweat,
his nape skin red from a hair cut.
Between two smokers she smiled up at him;
as the weed approached he apologised
suddenly wanting familiar territories:
beer, to put his hand up her skirt.
At the bottom of the limbed stairs
he booted the cat, a drop kick in their twenty-five
as he imagined her sylph laugh
The kettle's on, the sun has gone
Another day
She offers me tibetan tea on a flower tray
She's at the door, she wants to score
She dearly needs to to say
I loved you a long time ago
Where the winds own forget me nots blow
But I just couldn't let myself go
Not knowing what on earth there was to know
But I wish that I had
'Cos I'm feeling so sad
That I never had one of your children
And across the room inside a tomb
A change is waxed and wanes
The night is young why are we so hung up
In each others chains
I must make her, I must take her
While the dove domains
And feel the juice run as she flies
Run my winds under her sighs
As the flames of eternity rise
To lick us with the first-born lash of dawn
Oh really my dear
I can't see what we fear
Sat here with ourselves in between us
And at the door we can't say more
Than just another day
And without a sound I turn around
And you huh?
You do huh?
We let it in
We give it out
And in the end
What's it all about?
It must be love
I give you my
I give you my
You give me your
You give me your joy
We used to say
Ah hell, we're young
But now we see
That life is sad
And so is love
(Ooh ooh baby live your life for love)
(Ooh ooh baby live your life for love)
We used to say
Ah hell, we're young
But now we see
That life is sad
And so is love
(Ooh ooh baby for the sake of love)
(Ooh ooh baby for the sake of love)
And whatever happens
What really matters?
It's all we've got
Isn't that enough?
(Life is sad and so is love)
You let it slip
You let it slip
(Life is sad and so is love)
I love you more
I love you more for it
(Life is sad and so is love)
(Life is sad and so is love)
All I don't want to
All for love
(Life is sad and so is love)
Just for the sake of love
(Life is sad and so is love)
You set me free, I set you free

Hello old Lady
I know your face well
I know it well
She says - ooh-na-na-na-na
I'll be sitting in your mirror
Now is the place where the crossroads meet
Will you look into the future.
Never, never say goodbye
To my part of your life
No, no, no,
Oh, oh, oh
Let me live
She said c'mon let me live
She said c'mon let me live girl
This moment in time
It doesn't belong to you
It belongs to me
And to your little boy and your little girl
And the one hand clapping
Where on your palm is my little line
When you're written in mine
As an old memory
ohh-na-na-na-na-na
Never never never say goodbye
To my part of your life
No, no, no, no,
Never, never, never, never
Let me go.
She said c'mon let me live
Someday he'll come along
The man I love
And he'll be big and strong
The man I love
And when he comes my way
I'll do my best to make him stay
He'll look at me and smile
I'll understand
And in a little while
He'll take my hand
And though it seems absurd
I know we both won't say a word
Maybe I shall meet him
Sunday, maybe Monday, maybe not
Still I'm sure to meet him one day
Maybe Tuesday will be my good news day
He'll build a little home
Just meant for two
From which I'd never roam
Who would, would you?
And so all else above
I'm waiting for the man I love
Maybe I shall meet him
Sunday, maybe Monday, maybe not
Still I'm sure to meet him one day
Maybe Tuesday will be my good news day
He'll build a little home
Just meant for two
From which I'd never roam
Who would, would you?
And so all else above
I'm waiting for the man I love
When you reach for a star
Only angels are there
And it's not very far
Just to step on a stair
Take a look at those clowns
And the tricks that they play
In the circus of life
Life is bitter and gay
There are clowns in the night
Clowns everywhere
See how they run
Run from despair
You can be thrilled
And you can be free
"How?"
But only my friend
If you'll listen to me
When the fantasy bells
Of the universe ring
You can fly through the sky
On a dragonfly's wing
There is magic within
There is magic without
Follow me and you'll learn
Just what life's all about
Just what life's all about
Destiny took me in her arms and told me:
"You're a little lost on the fall.
You fall for all the men
You shouldn't fall for all at all."
Ooh, I know she knows, but still I go on,
Well, I'm a fool.
Climbing up the ladders
To slide down the adders
On the rocks,
On the rocks,
On the rocks,
On the rocks...
Joan of Arc walks into my mirror,
A burning sword.
I'd like to cry.
I look into her eyes.
I see she's seen the long days and night.
"Ooh," she says,
"The games are still the same, I see,
But they've changed the names now.
Are all Lionhearts put in parks, apart?"
Lionhearts in the asylums,
Lionhearts tossed at sea,
Lionhearts who've lived their lives, like Arthur.
Lionhearts in cathedrals,
Lionhearts at mournings,
Lionhearts in every seed
But they're sown
On the rocks,
On the rocks,
On the rocks,
On the rocks...
Somebody I couldn't see
Tied me up and put me away,
Here on the rocks,
Here on the rocks,
Here on the rocks...
Can't move my arms
Can't move my legs
Can't say, "No"
And I can't say, "Yes"
I can't help myself
I need your help
We go, oh, oh, what do we do
Now we just can't move
We're calling out for middle street
We go, oh, oh, what do we do
Now we just can't move
We hang on to every line
And walk straight down the middle of it
But he thought, he was gonna die
But he didn't
And she thought, she just couldn't cope
But she did
And we thought it would be so hard
But it wasn't
It wasn't easy, though
I can't say, "Yes"
I can't say, "No"
I can't begin
I can't let go
Help me now
We go, oh, oh, what do we do
Now we just can't move
We're calling out for middle street
We go, oh, oh, what do we do
Now we just can't move
We hang on to every line
And walk straight down the middle of it
But he thought, he was gonna die
But he didn't
And she thought, she could never cope
But she did
And we thought it was all over
But it wasn't
It hadn't started yet
And walk straight down the middle of it
And walk straight down the middle of it
We're calling out for middle street
We're calling out for middle street
"You won't burn
You won't bleed
Confess to me - Go Down"
"Poor little thing
The blackbird,
Wings in the water - go down".
"What is it, child?"
Bless me father, blass me father for I have sinned....
"I question your innocence"
(Help this blackbird, there's a stone around my leg)
"She's a witch"
(Help this blackbird, there's a stone around my leg)
"Uh, Damn you woman!"
(Help this blackbird, there's a stone around my leg)
"What say you good people?"
(Guilty, Guilty, Guilty).
"I am responsible for your actions"
The light
Begin to bleed,
Begin to breathe,
Begin to speak
D'you know what?
I love you better now.
I am falling
Like a stone,
Like a storm
Being born again
Into the sweet morning fog.
D'you know what?
I love you better now.
I am falling
And I'd love to hold you now,
I'll kiss the ground
I'll tell my mother
I'll tell my father
I'll tell my loved one
I'll tell my brothers
How much I love them.
-----------------------------------------
I hear him before I go to sleep
And focus on the day that's been
I realise he's there when I turn the light off
And turn over
Nobody knows about my man
They think he's lost on some horizon
And suddenly I find myself
Listening to a man I've never known before
Telling me about the sea
All his love, 'till eternity
(Chorus)
Ooh, he's here again-
The man with the child in his eyes
He's very understanding
And he's so aware of all my situations
And when I stay up late
He's always waiting
But I feel him hesitate
Oh, I'm so worried about my love
They say "No, no, it won't last forever"
And here I am again my girl
Wondering what on earth I'm doing here
Maybe he doesn't love me
I just took a trip on my love for him
So much for all the prayers you've learned.
They are no help to basic needs.
And all the worlds they've shown you
Just make you even greedier.
So what about divinity?
I'm further away than before.
You're like two stars colliding,
And you're never going to hit the floor.
Why should I whisper in the church?
Because they say it's sacred ground?
Oh, my sacrilege would do you good.
You see, there's nothing here, I've found.
I feel so sorry for you,
Believing because they control.
And of all the guardian angels
They chose me to save your soul!
Oh, I'm just trying to explain,
I tried to study it for just a while:
All of the potions, from oysters to seducing smiles.
But I've found it's already inside me:
A big round bubble of sensuality,
Dared to be burst,
But worried about getting hurt.
I know how you like to kiss.
I'll ask you what you're thinking.
Silvers in our dark hair.
The sheets are soaked by your tiny fish.
The craft of life,
The craft of life,
The craft of life,
The craft of life,
Oo-ooh...
Tears spring to mind when I go back in time.
All those lost bodies just seeking security.
Jittering strangers with smutting hands,
Heavy and clever and full of demands.
Well I'm similar to you:
We're familiar with what to do.
I know how you like to kiss.
I'll ask you what you're thinking.
Silvers in our dark hair.
The sheets are soaked by your tiny fish.
The craft of life,
The craft of life,
The craft of life,
The craft of life,
Looking at the air, ee-oo, yeah, ee-oo,
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yo.
That cloud, that cloud
Looks like Ireland.
(diddly-di diddly-di diddly-di diddly-di, dye)
C'mon and blow it a kiss now,
(diddly-di diddly-di diddly-di diddly-di, dye)
But quick,
'Cause it's changing in the Big Sky,
It's changing in the Big Sky now.
We're looking at the Big Sky.
You never understood me.
You never really tried.
This cloud, this cloud
Says Noah,
(diddly-da diddly-da diddly-da diddly-da)
(diddly-da diddly-da diddly-da diddly-da)
(diddly-da diddly-da)
(diddly-da diddly-da)
I'm looking at the Big Sky.
I'm looking at the Big Sky now.
I'm looking at the Big Sky.
Hup! hup!
Big Sky! He-yeah [repeats fade]
That cloud looks just like the tree at the bottom of our garden
That cloud looks like a little lamb with a tail
That cloud looks Commulus Castellus
That cloud is nothing but trouble
This cloud looks like hmmmm, one of those things hmmm, you know
That cloud looks like one of those brown shiney things
That cloud looks like snow
No it doesn't
This cloud looks like rain
[general background discussion]
Order! This cloud should be removed immediately
That cloud looks like industrial waste
Rolling over like a great big cloud,
Walking out in the Big Sky.
Looking at the air, ee-oo, yeah, ee-oo,
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yo.
Looking at the air, ee-oo, yeah,
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yo.
And we pause for the jet
Hup! hup!
Hup! in the Big Sky!
We're looking at the Big Sky, honey.
You want my reply?
What was the question? Yeah.
I was looking at the Big Sky.
We're looking at the air, ee-oo, yeah, ee-oo,
Yeah, yeah, tell 'em, sisters!
Rolling over like a great big cloud,
Walking out in the Big Sky.
Rolling over like a great big cloud,
Walking out in the Big Sky.
Rolling over like a great big cloud,
Walking out in the Big Skyyyyy.
Hun-cha, hun-cha, hun-cha, hun-cha,
Rolling over like a great big cloud,
Hun-cha, hun-cha, hun-cha, Big Sky.
Walking out in the Big Sky.
Whoah, whoah, yeah, yeah, blue-a, yeah, yeah, day,
Rolling over like a great big cloud,
Walking out in the Big Sky.
Hula, hula, hula, hula, hula, hula,
Hul-yeah, yeah, yeah.
Rolling over like a great big cloud,
Walking out in the Big Sky.
Big Sky, walking out in the Big Sky.
Rolling over like a great big cloud,
Walking out in the Big Sky.
Hula, hula, hula,
Whoah, wo-wo-whoah, wo-wo-whoah, I check, I check.
Rolling over like a great big cloud,
Walking out in the Big Sky.
Baby whooooah.
Rolling over like a great big cloud,
Walking out in the Big Sky.
Waaahhh
Rolling over like a great big cloud,
Walking out in the Big Sky.
Rolling over like a great big cloud,
Walking out in the Big Sky.
The Big Sky, The Big Sky.
Rolling over like a great big cloud,
Walking out in the Big Sky.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, ow.
Rolling over like a great big cloud,
Walking out in the Big Sky.
Big Sky, hula, hula, hula, hula, hula.
Rolling over like a great big cloud,
Walking out in the Big Sky.
Waahh, da da da da da.
Rolling over like a great big cloud,
Walking out in the Big Sky
'If I only could, I'd be running up that hill.
If I only could, I'd be running up that hill.'
It doesn't hurt me.
Do you want to feel how it feels?
Do you want to know that it doesn't hurt me?
Do you want to hear about the deal that I'm making?
You, it's you and me.
And if I only could,
I'd make a deal with God,
And I'd get him to swap our places,
Be running up that road,
Be running up that hill,
Be running up that building.
If I only could, oh...
You don't want to hurt me,
But see how deep the bullet lies.
Unaware I'm tearing you asunder.
Ooh, there is thunder in our hearts.
Is there so much hate for the ones we love?
Tell me, we both matter, don't we?
You, it's you and me.
It's you and me won't be unhappy.
And if I only could,
I'd make a deal with God,
And I'd get him to swap our places,
Be running up that road,
Be running up that hill,
Be running up that building,
Say, if I only could, oh...
You,
It's you and me,
It's you and me won't be unhappy.
'C'mon, baby, c'mon darling,
Let me steal this moment from you now.
C'mon, angel, c'mon, c'mon, darling,
Let's exchange the experience, oh...'
And if I only could,
I'd make a deal with God,
And I'd get him to swap our places,
Be running up that road,
Be running up that hill,
With no problems.
And if I only could,
I'd make a deal with God,
And I'd get him to swap our places,
Be running up that road,
Be running up that hill,
With no problems.
And if I only could,
I'd make a deal with God,
And I'd get him to swap our places,
Be running up that road,
Be running up that hill,
With no problems.
If I only could
Be running up that hill
With no problems...
'If I only could, I'd be running up that hill.
If I only could, I'd be running up that hill.'
Last night you were on my balcony.
You needn't try, know the whole story.
Before it's too late I must get away,
But both of us know you must stay.
Oh, come on, Carmilla,
Surrender into the roses.
Go back home under the posies.
Surrender into the roses,
Carmilla, Carmilla, Carmilla.
Tying, dying, flowers around the room.
It keeps me safe, but oh! the sickly perfume.
Well, it makes me long for the good times,
When you were really alive.
Oh, come on, Carmilla,
Surrender into the roses.
Go back home under the posies.
Surrender into the roses,
Carmilla, Carmilla, Carmilla
Sister, I will stand by you
Sister, I believe in you
Sister, 'coz I am your brother
Sister, fight for what you need
Sister, make the blind man see
Sister, and I'll be your brother
Giving, taking, living, with one another
Sister and brother
Seeing, breathing, believing in one another
Sister and brother
Brother, I am equal to
Brother, all a man can do
Brother, for I am your sister
Brother, if you need me near
Brother, in your doubt and fear
Brother, then I'll be your sister
Giving, taking, living, with one another
Sister and brother
Seeing, breathing, believing in one another
Sister and brother
Sister, will you stand by me
Sister, and believe in me
Sister, 'coz I am your brother
Brother, if you need me near
Brother, in your doubt and fear
Then I'll be your sister
Oh no, oh no I'll be your sister
Oh no, oh no I'll be your brother
Oh no, oh no I'll be your sister
Oh no, oh no. Sister and brother
She packed my bags last night pre-flight
Zero hour nine a.m.
And I'm gonna be high as a kite by then
I miss the earth so much I miss my wife
It's lonely out in space
On such a timeless flight
And I think it's gonna be a long long time
Till touch down brings me round again to find
I'm not the man they think I am at home
Oh no no no I'm a rocket man
Rocket man burning out his fuse up here alone
Mars ain't the kind of place to raise your kids
In fact it's cold as hell
And there's no one there to raise them if you did
And all this science I don't understand
It's just my job five days a week
A rocket man, a rocket man
And I think it's gonna be a long long time...
Just as we hit the green,
I've never been so happy to be alive.
Only seven miles behind
You could smell the child,
The smell of the front line's survival.
With my silver Buddha
And my silver bullet,
(I pull the pin.)
You learn to ride the Earth,
When you're living on your belly and the enemy are city-births.
Who need radar? We use scent.
They stink of the west, stink of sweat.
Stink of cologne and baccy, and all their Yankee hash.
With my silver Buddha
And my silver bullet,
(I'm pulling on the pin,)
Ooh, I pull out, pull out the pin.
(pulling on the pin, oh...)
Just one thing in it:
Me or him.
Just one thing in it:
Me or him.
And I love life!
Just one thing in it:
Me or him.
And I love life!
I love life!
I love life!
I've seen the coat for me.
I'll track him 'til he drops,
Then I'll pop him one he won't see.
He's big and pink, and not like me.
He sees no light.
He sees no reason for the fighting
With my silver Buddha
And my silver bullet.
(I'm pulling on the pin,)
Ooh, I pull out, pull out the pin.
(pulling on the pin, oh...)
I had not seen his face,
'til I'm only feet away
Unbeknown to my prey.
I look in American eyes.
I see little life,
See little wife.
He's striking violence up in me.
With my silver Buddha
And my silver bullet.
Just one thing in it:
Me or him.
Just one thing in it:
Me or him.
And I love life!
Just one thing in it:
Me or him.
And I love life!
I love life!
I love life!
Just one thing in it:
Me or him.
And I love life!
Just one thing in it:
Me or him.
And I love life!
Just one thing in it:
Me or him.
And I love life!
I love life!
I love life!
Whenever I look out french windows
It's always snowing outside.
And feel your body relax on mine,
Giving me all the good lines,
(Uh-huh)
All the good lines,
All the good lines...
Hot in the ice,
On fire inside,
A snowball.
Ah, but she's wonderful,
Set in the snow.
Ah, but she's wonderful,
Set in the snow.
Hot in the ice,
On fire inside,
A snowball.
Ah, but she's wonderful,
Set in the snow.
Ah, but she's wonderful,
Set in the snow.
A crystal layer of ice on our skin:
Very numb outside but warm within.
I bend to join our lips, but it's too cold
To kiss and hit. Is it you I'm feeling?
Is it you I'm feeling?
(Yeah)
Is it you I'm feeling?
Hot in the ice,
On fire inside,
A snowball.
Ah, but she's wonderful,
Set in the snow.
Ah, but she's wonderful,
Set in the snow.
Hot in the ice,
On fire inside,
A snowball.
Ah, but she's wonderful,
Set in the snow.
Ah, but she's wonderful,
Set in the snow.
Moving stranger, does it really matter?
As long as you're not afraid to feel
Touch me, hold me, how my open arms ache
Try to fall for me
(Chorus)
How I'm moved, how you move me
With your beauty's potency
You give me life, please don't let me go
You crush the lilly in my soul
Moving liquid, yes, you are just water
You flow around all that comes in your way
Don't think it over, it always takes you over
And sets your spirit dancing
Some moments that I've had
Some moments of pleasure
I think about us lying
Lying on a beach somewhere
I think about us diving
Diving off a rock, into another moment
The case of George the Wipe
Oh God I can't stop laughing
This sense of humour of mine
It isn't funny at all
Oh but we sit up all night
Talking about it
Just being alive
It can really hurt
And these moments given
Are a gift from time
On a balcony in New York
It's just started to snow
He meets us at the lift
Like Douglas Fairbanks
Waving his walking stick
But he isn't well at all
The buildings of New York
Look just like mountains through the snow
Just being alive
It can really hurt
And these moments given
Are a gift from time
Just let us try
To give these moments back
To those we love
To those who will survive
And I can hear my mother saying
"Every old sock meets an old shoe"
Isn't that a great saying?
"Every old sock meets an old shoe"
Here come the Hills of Time
Hey there Maureen,
Hey there Bubba,
Dancing down the aisle of a plane,
It's Murph, playing his guitar refrain,
Hey there Teddy,
Spinning in the chair at Abbey Road,
Hey there Michael,
Do you really love me?
Hey there Bill,
Beelzebub is aching in my belly-o
My feet are heavy and I'm rooting in my wellios
And I want to get away and go
From all these mirror windows
I look at eye level, it isn't good enough
And then I find out, when I take a good look up
There's a hole in the sky with a big eyeball
Calling me-
(Chorus)
Come up and be a kite
And fly a diamond night
A diamond kite, a diamond kite
Ooh, what a diamond!
A diamond kite, on a diamond flight
Over the lights, under the moon
Over the lights, under the moon
Over the moon, over the moon
I feel a rush along my body like a bullet
I'm 2D, after a push and pull feeling
And I want to get back to safe home
I love the homeland dome
I got no limbs, I'm like a feather on the wind
Well I'm not sure if I want to be up here at all
And I'd like to be back on the ground
But I don't know how to get down
Slipping past the chimney-pots,
Down among the ashes, away from old times--
Why must I self-indulge in memories?
I should be celebrating to a moving melody,
But it hurts me, it hurts me,
Honey, honey, it hurts me.
And I'm feeling like a waltz,
Growing old, - old, old, old, old.
I was fiery but you put me out.
I was always one for loving and leaving.
I like to think I was immune to romance.
I should be laughing at some good old comedy.
Oh, but it hurts me, it hurts me.
Honey, honey, it hurts me.
And I'm feeling like a waltz -
If you laughed at me, I'd laugh too.
Waltz, don't you know that I'd be really breakin-ing.
L'amour--marche avec un etranger.
I shouldn't care, you're not my darling anymore,
But it hurts me, it hurts me,
Honey, honey, honey, honey.
And I'm feeling like a waltz,
Growing old, old, old, old, old
You know that I'll be waiting
To hear your footsteps saying
That you'll be coming home for Christmas.
Please say you won't forget me
That every moment's emtpy
But only 'til you're coming home for Christmas.
If I only had wings
Then I would fly to you
Through all the snowy weather
We'd be together
No one makes me feel the way you do.
You know that I'll be waiting
To hear your footsteps saying
That you'll be coming home
Home for Christmas.
---------------------
When I was a child
Running in the night
Afraid of what might be
Hiding in the dark
Hiding in the street
And of what was following me
Now hounds of love are hunting
I've always been a coward
And I don't know what's good for me
Here I go
It's coming for me thro' the trees
Help me someone, help me please
Take my shoes off and throw them in the lake.
And I'll be 2 steps on the water.
I found a fox caught by dogs
He let me take him in my hands
His little heart beats so fast
And I'm ashamed of running away,
From nothing real, I just can't deal with this
But I'm still afraid to be there,
Among your hounds of love.
And feel yours arms surround me
I've always been a coward
And never know what's good for me.
Here I go - Don't let me go - Hold me down
It's coming for me through the trees
Help me darling, help me please
Take my shores off and throw them in the lake
And I'll be two steps on the water
I don't know what's good for me,
I don't know what's good for me,
I need love, love, love, love, yeah -
your love.
Take your shoes off and throw them in the lake,
Do you know what I really need
Do you know what I really need
Driving back in her car,
Watching the wipers squashing the leaves away.
Suddenly there in the road,
Is your old self trying to get out of the rain.
I am my enemy,
Mowing me over,
And towing the light away.
Somehow it just seems to fit,
With that old me trying to get back again.
Imagination sets in,
Then all the voices begin,
Telling you things that aren't happening
(But they nig they nag, 'til they're under your skin.)
Chorus You've really got to.
Remember yourself,
You've got a fullhouse in your head tonight,
Remember yourself,
Stand back and see emotion getting you uptight.
My silly pride,
Digging the knife in,
She loves to come for her ride,
Surely by now I should know,
I can control my highs and my lows,
Bu questioning all that I do,
Examining every move,
Trying to get back to the rudiments,
(If they nig and they nag, I'll just put in the boot.)
Delius, he's a moody old man
Delius, song of summer in his hand
Delius, he's a moody old man
Delius, in, in, in his hand
Delius, in his hand
Delius
Ta, ta-ta
Ta, ta-ta
Delius
Delius amat
Syphilus, Deus
Genius
Delius, to be sung of a summer
Delius, night on the water
Delius, on the water
Delius
Ta, ta-ta
In B, Fenby
Delius
Delius amat
Syphilus, Deus
Genius
To be sung of a summer
Night on the water
On the water
Emma's come down.
She's stopped the light
Shining out of her eyes.
Emma's been run out on.
She's breaking down
In so many places,
Stuck in low gear
Because of her fears
Of the skidding wheels,
(The skid of her wheels she feels.)
Skidding wheels,
(The skid of her wheels she feels.)
Spinning wheels.
(Wheel-skidding feeling.)
Her heart is there,
But they've greased the road.
Her heart is out there,
But she's no control.
Oh, come on, you've got to use your flow.
You know what it's like, and you know you want to go.
Don't drive too slowly.
Don't put your blues where your shoes should be.
Don't put your foot on the heartbrake.
(She's losing, she's losing, she's losing, she's losing...)
She's losing that inner flame.
It was burning bright,
But she's losing the light fast.
She's only herself to blame.
Well, take care of yourself,
And remember Georgie.
But she's so O.D.'d on weeping
She can harDLy see
That she's dropping beads.
(Red, red glass is bleeding.)
Dropping beads.
(Red, red glass is bleeding.)
Dropping beads.
(Red, red on the parquet.)
Her heart is there,
But they've greased the road.
Her heart is out there,
But she's no control.
Oh, come on, you've got to use your flow.
You know what it's like, and you know you want to go.
Don't drive too slowly.
Don't put your blues where your shoes should be.
Don't put your foot on the heartbrake.
With her hand in his hand,
They were both happy again.
You started taking sides.
They started arguing.
He said it was her fault.
She said it wasn’t at all.
But the truth lies somewhere in the middle.
Where angels fear to tread,
You go rushing in.
Well, I had to tell you then,
And now I’m telling you again:
Stay out of this
You must not interfere
Don’t you see this is
Between a man and a woman?
Every day and night I pray,
Pray that you will stay away forever.
It’s so hard for love to stay together,
With the modern western pressures.
I don’t want to say it,
But I had to tell you then,
And now I’m telling you again:
Stay out of this.
Oh, I know you mean to help me,
And I know you’ve good intentions.
But stay out of this.
This isn’t your problem.
Do not interfere--you are not needed here.
Let the pendulum swing
Between a man and a woman.
Don’t you see? you’re in the way--
Between a man and a woman.
Every day and night I pray,
Let the pendulum swing
Between a man and a woman.
Between a man and a woman.
Rowan Atkinson:
For years I thought
I'd have to live alone
I never got a letter
Had to disconnect the phone
The only girls I ever saw
Were on TV
But now I've got a Venus
Who's sitting next to me
Both:
Do I love you?
Do I want you?
Would I give my life
To you if I could?
Do birds fly?
Do fish swim?
And do bears sha-la-la-la-la
In the woods?
Rowan:
I met her in the first class lounge
Of a jumbo jet
It was love at first sight
Romeo and Juliet
Kate:
He looked pretty rich
And I was down on m' luck
So I charged him a fortune
For a flying f...
Rowan:
...for crying out loud!
Both:
Do I love you?
Do I want you?
Would I sacrifice my life
To you if I could?
Is the Pope Catholic?
Is Luxembourg small?
And do those hairy bears shhh...
In the woods?
Rowan:
I introduced her round my friends
She was ace
I was no longer on Earth
But in better place
Kate:
He's an utter creep and he
Drives me round the bend
And so to alleviate the boredom
I sleep with his friends
Rowan:
Ho ha ho
Both:
Do I love you?
Do I want you?
Kate:
Would I tear out both my eyes
And fry them if I could?
Both:
Is the Bible fiction?
Is True Love a contradiction?
And do bears sha-la-la-la-la
In the woods?
Do I desire you?
Do I adore you?
Rowan:
Would I cut off all my toenails
And put them in an envelope with my feet?
Both:
Is Reagan Godhead?
Is Chairman Mao dead?
And do those bears sha-la-la-la-la?
Rowan [really Tim Brooke-Taylor]:
La-la-la-la-la-la-la-ah
Kate:
Mmmmm...
Rowan [Tim]:
And do those bears sha-la-la-la-la?
La-la-la-la-la-la-la-ah
Kate:
Ahoo Ahoo
Yeah-ye-yeah Yeah-ye-yeah
Both:
Do those bears sha-la-la-la-ah?
Rowan:
On Main Street
Kate:
Oh Yeah Yeah-ye-yeah
I read the colors this mornin'
I read the colors today
About a man who left from nowhere to be someone
And every day he has to pay in every way
I met a man from new york city
He spoke of things I've yet to find
A good man driven from his homeland
Tryin' to find some piece of mind
It's a fast train
It's a fast train
It's a fast train
It's a fast train
It's a fast train
It's a fast train
It's a fast train
It's a fast train
It's a fast train
It's a fast train
It's a fast train
It's a fast train
Brazil
When hearts were entertained in June
We stood beneath an amber moon
And softly whispered 'some day soon'
We kissed and clung together
Then
Tomorrow was another day
The morning found me miles away
With still a million things to say
When twilight beams the skies above
Recalling thrills of our love
There's one thing I'm certain of
Return I will
One of the band told me last night
That music is all that he's got in his life.
So where does it go?
Surely not with his soul.
Will all of his licks and his r'n'b
Blow away?
Blow away
Blow away
Our engineer had a different idea
From people who nearly died but survived,
Feeling no fear of leaving their bodies here,
And went to a room that was soon full of visitors.
Hello minnie, moony, vicious, vicious, buddy holly, sandy denny.
Please don't thump me,
Don't bump me,
Don't dump me back there.
Please don't thump me,
Don't bump me,
I want to stay here.
Put out the light, then, put out the light.
Vibes in the sky invite you to dine.**
Dust to dust,
Blow to blow.
Bolan and moony are heading the show tonight.
Hello minnie, moony, ("bill " [? ]), vicious, vicious,
Buddy holly, sandy denny.
Please don't thump me,
Don't bump me,
Don't dump me back there.
Please don't thump me,
Don't bump me,

"B.F.P.O."
Army dreamers
"Mammy's hero"
"B.F.P.O."
"Mammy's hero"
Our little army boy
Is coming home from B.F.P.O.
We've a bunch of purple flowers
To decorate a mammy's hero
Mourning in the aerodrome
The weather warmer, he is colder
Four men in uniform
To carry home my little soldier
(What could he do? Should have been a rock star)
But he didn't have the money for a guitar
(What could he do? Should have been a politician)
But he never had a proper education
(What could he do? Should have been a father)
But he never even made it to his twenties
What a waste
Army dreamers
Ooh, what a waste of
Army dreamers
Tears o'er a tin box
Oh, Jesus Christ, he wasn't to know
Like a chicken with a fox
He couldn't win the war with ego
Give the kid the pick of pips
And give him all your stripes and ribbons
Now he's sitting in his hole
He might as well have buttons and bows
(What could he do? Should have been a rock star)
But he didn't have the money for a guitar
(What could he do? Should have been a politician)
But he never had a proper education
(What could he do? Should have been a father)
But he never even made it to his twenties
What a waste
Army dreamers
Ooh, what a waste of
Army dreamers
Ooh, what a waste of all that
Army dreamers

Army dreamers, oh

Last night you were on my balcony.
You needn't try, know the whole story.
Before it's too late I must get away,
But both of us know you must stay.
Oh, come on, Carmilla,
Surrender into the roses.
Go back home under the posies.
Surrender into the roses,
Carmilla, Carmilla, Carmilla.
Tying, dying, flowers around the room.
It keeps me safe, but oh! the sickly perfume.
Well, it makes me long for the good times,
When you were really alive.
Oh, come on, Carmilla,
Surrender into the roses.
Go back home under the posies.
Surrender into the roses,
I'm searching for any revolutionary open
Caused him to a light a nerve.
I'm not on cloud nine on a blue sky
and there a-rocking
because he's a-rocking, too.
So maybe, you may have many words
and many thoughts for yawning
Where are our lives?
If there is no dream
Where is our home?
We don't know how
There will be a way
Out of the storm
We will find home
And her soul
Walks beside her
An army stands
Behind her
Lyra, Lyra
And her face
Full of grace
Two worlds collide
Around her
The truth lies
Deep inside her
Lyra, Lyra
And the stars
Look down upon her
As darkness
Settles on her
Lyra, Lyra
Who's to know
What's in the future
But we hope
We will be with her
We have all our love
To give her
Lyra, Lyra
And her soul
Walks beside her
An army stands
Behind her
Lyra, Lyra
And her face
Full of grace
Two worlds collide
Around her
The truth lies
Deep inside her
Okay, remember
Okay, remember
That we have just allowed half an hour
To get in, do it and get out
The sense of adventure
Is changing to danger
The signal has been given, I go in
The crime begins
My excitement turns into fright
All my words fade
What am I gonna say?
Mustn't give the game away
We're waiting
We're waiting
We're waiting
We got the job sussed
This shop's shut for business
The lookout has parked the car
But kept the engine running
Three beeps means trouble's coming
I hope you remember
To treat the gelignite tenderly for me
I'm having dreams about things not going right
Let's leave in plenty of time tonight
Both my partners act like actors
You are bogart, he is George Raft
That leaves Cagney and me
(What about Edward G?)
We're waiting
Were waiting
We're waiting
You blow the safe up
Then all I know is I wake up
I'm covered in rubble, one of the rabble
Needs mummy
The government will never find the money
I've been here all day
A star in strange ways
Apart from a photograph
They'll get nothing from me
Not until they let me see my solicitor
Ooh, I remember
That rich, windy weather
When you would carry me
Pockets floating in the breeze
Oh, there goes a tenner
Hey, look, there's a fiver
There's a ten-shilling note, remember them?
I stayed the night in your arms.
Over half an hour I stayed awake,
Looking at you.
Your face seemed radiant,
The walls to Steve
With a crack emerged
As I held you.
Oo-ooh...
While na-na ne-ne-na ne-na-na Davy dozed.
I closed my eyes
Realised the time is close for us to go.
Hold me, oh hold me.
Davy, Davy,
Bending like a willow-branch.
He rocks me like a baby.
Oo-ooh...
I know he loves another lady,
But I still see him in the hallway
Calling me.
Oh, when we danced so closely,
I really felt as though I was melting
In a pool.
Oo-ooh...
Oh while na-na na-na na-na-na Davy dozed.
I closed my eyes
Realised the time is close for us to go.
Hold me, please hold me.
Davy, Davy,
Bending like a willow-branch.
He rocks me like a baby.
When you reach for a star
Only angels are there
And it's not very far
Just to step on a stair
Take a look at those clowns
And the tricks that they play
In the circus of life
Life is bitter and gay
There are clowns in the night
Clowns everywhere
See how they run
Run from despair
You can be thrilled
And you can be free
"How?"
But only my friend
If you'll listen to me
When the fantasy bells
Of the universe ring
You can fly through the sky
On a dragonfly's wing
There is magic within
There is magic without
Follow me and you'll learn
Just what life's all about
See those trees
Bend in the wind
I feel they've got a lot more sense than me
You see I try to resist
A rubberband bouncing back to life
A rubberband bend the beat
If I could learn to give like a rubberband
I'd be back on my feet
A rubberband hold me trousers up
A rubberband ponytails
If I could learn to twang like a rubberband
I'd be a rubberband girl
A rubberband girl me
A rubberband girl me
Oh, I wanna be a rubberband girl
When I slip out
Of my catapult
I gotta land with my feet firm on the ground
And let my body catch up
A rubberband bouncing back to life
A rubberband bend the heat
If I could learn to give like a rubberband
I'd be back on my feet
A rubberband hold me trousers up
A rubberband ponytails
If I could learn to twang like a rubberband
I'd be a rubberband girl
A rubberband girl me
A rubberband girl me
Oh, I wanna be a rubberband girl
Give like a rubberband
Twang like a rubberband
Snap like a rubberband
[incomprehensible]
One rubberband won't keep you up
Two rubberbands won't keep you up
Three rubberbands won't keep you up
Here I go
One rubberband won't keep you up
Two rubberbands won't keep you up
I've never seen
Such a sad queen
As Eddie.
I've seen him raving,
Maybe even in pain,
But never
Weeping like a baby.
On Saturday afternoon
He was really fine to him.
But on Saturday evening,
Oh, well Eddie was so pretty.
But now his boy is leaving.
Hey, boy, you're so young
To be a queen weeping.
You're just a little princess.
Oh, Eddie, don't!
Cause what can I do
But listen to you tell your story?
On Saturday afternoon
He was really fine to him.
But on Saturday evening,
Oh, well Eddie was so pretty.
But now his boy is leaving.
But now his boy is leaving.
But now his boy is leaving him.
They look down
At the ground missing
But I never go in, now
I'm lookin' at the big sky
I'm lookin' at the big sky now
I'm lookin' at the big sky
You never understood me, you never really tried
That cloud, that cloud
Looks like Ireland
Come on and blow it a kiss, now
Quick, 'cause it's changing in the big sky
It's changing in the big sky, now
We're lookin' at the big sky
You never understood me, you never really tried
This cloud, this cloud says Noah
Come on, build me an ark
And if you're coming, jump
'Cause we're leaving with the big sky, baby
We're leaving with the big sky, honey
We're leaving with the big sky
We're lookin' at the, we're lookin' at the
And we pause for the jet
Hup hup, hup, in the big sky
We're lookin' at the big sky, honey
You want my reply?
Oh, what's the question? Yeah
I was lookin' at the big sky
Big sky, lookin' at the big sky
Lookin' at the, tell 'em, sisters
Rolling over like a big big cloud
Walking out in the big sky
Rolling over like a big big cloud
Walking out in the big sky
Rolling over like a big big cloud
Walking out in the big sky
Rolling over like a big big cloud
Walking out in the big sky
Rolling over like a big big cloud
Walking out in the big sky
Rolling over like a big big cloud
Walking out in the big sky
Did you know
I don't know what goes on
When you shut the blind in your eyes?
That moment I come alive.
Nobody knows oh what you can do.
Oh Sunsi, you really make me want to seek it out.
Oh Sunsi, you release the precious key.
Precious key.
Oh Lord, the precious key.
I don't know if your mystery is the same?
Oh where is the light, where I have seen the flame.
Oh where is the light, oh I have been the flame.
Oh river light, go out with a flame.
Falling, you appear so many ways:
Falling over;
Falling down;
Falling in love;
I'm falling under your spell.
Well I know they're not aware of what you can do to me.
Oh Sunsi, you really make me want to seek it out.
Oh Sunsi, you release the precious key.
The precious key.
Oh Lord, the precious key.
I don't know if your mystery will remain?
Oh where is the light, where I have seen the flame.
Oh where is the light, oh I have been the flame.
Excuse me I'm sorry to bother you,
But don't I know you?
There's just something about you.
Haven't we met before?
We've been in love forever.
When we got on top of the hill,
We saw Rome burning.
I just let you walk away.
I've never forgiven myself.
I saw you on the steps in Paris.
You were with someone else.
Couldn't you see that should have been me.
I just walked on by.
Then we met in '42,
But we were on different sides.
I hid you under my bed,
But they took you away.
I loved you with a London smark,
As you crossed the lane.
And I'd never know where you'd gonna be next
But I'd know that you'd surprise me.
Come with me, I'll find some rope
I'll tie us together.
I've been waiting for you so long…
I don't want to lose you again…
I don't want to walk into the crowd again.
I don't want to walk away again.
I don't want to lose you!
I don't want to lose you!
I don't want to lose you again!
There's just something… about you…
Have we been in love forever?
And I'd been living in New York.
I took your photograph.
I still have your smiling face in a heart-shaped frame.
Snowed in at Wheeler street.
Just two old friends.
Keeping the fire going.
We looked so good together.
Can't we just stay there forever?
We were so happy!
I'd live that day over and over.
But the world won't stop turning.
When we got to the top of the hill,
We saw Rome burning.
I don't want to lose you…
I don't want lose you again!
Don't walk away again.
Don't leave me unloved again.
Don't want to lose you!
I don't want to lose you!
I don't want to lose you again!!
Don't want to lose you…
I don't want to lose you!
I don't want to lose you again!!
Oh no not again. No! No! Not again!
Not again! Not again!
No! No! No! No! Not again!
Not again!
Everything that you wanted
Everything that you love, yeah
Will run away from you
Everything that you care for, yeah, yeah
Show a little devotion
In my devotion
No, the minute I saw your face
Is there anything that I can do?
Anything at all?
You'd tell me about it won't you?
Any way that I can help?
Just tell me about it, won't you
So that I can do it
Anything at all
Just tell me what it is that you want
Then I can do it
Everything has an ending
And everything has a tale to wag, yeah
Answer me love
Everyone has a right to that
Yeah, oh yeah, yeah
Show me a little devotion
Get all my devotion
I don't worry about it at all
And you know the minute I saw your face
Hey, is there anything that I can do?
Anything at all?
You'd tell me about it won't you?
Is there any way that I can help
Just tell me what it is
Then I can do it
Anything at all
Just tell me what it is that you want
Then I can do it
Anything at all
Just put the words together for me
Then I can do it
Anything at all
There's something that sounds like a song
In my garden, by the willow
A piper:
"Oohoo, ahoo, oohoo, ahoo, oohoo, ahoo, hoooo"
I see him when I turn the lights down low,
In my garden, wading through the pond.
Dressed in sailing wear.
"Oohoo, ahoo, oohoo, ahoo, oohoo, ahoo, hoooo"
I've called him by every name I know,
By every name I know,
But he won't answer me.
He keeps coming forward, but never moving.
Is there no destiny here?
It sounds like a song
In my garden, by the willow
A piper:
Held in your arms in the back seat,
Cruising down the main street,
How can anyone have such little defense?
You're soft.
In between the sheets, left in limbo,
Covered me like the pillow
I can hardly tell the difference.
You're soft,
So soft.
To be, to be with you
I'd leave everything.
But I don't know how to deal with you.
I swear you'd fall like a feather if I was cruel.
Love would melt me like hot butter.
You're soft,
So soft.
To be, to be with you
I'd do anything.
Walking down the street, brushing arms,
You're moonlight dancing.
I try hard to keep my feelings in.
You're soft.
Dancing to the music, so low.
I knead you like dough.
How can anyone be so loving
And soft,
So soft?
To be, to be with you
I'd leave everything.
But I don't know how to deal with you.
I swear you'd fall like a feather if I was cruel.
You melt me like hot butter.
You're soft,
So soft.
To be, to be with you
It doesn't hurt me.
Do you want to feel how it feels?
Do you want to know, know that it doesn't hurt me?
Do you want to hear about the deal that I'm making?
You, It's you and me.
And if I only could,
I'd make a deal with God,
And I'd get him to swap our places,
Be running up that road,
Be running up that hill,
Be running up that building.
Say, If I only could, oh...
You don't want to hurt me,
But see how deep the bullet lies.
Unaware, I'm tearing you asunder.
Ooh, There is thunder in our hearts.
Is there so much hate for the ones who love?
Tell me we both matter don't we?
You,
It's you and me,
It's you and me who won't be unhappy.
And if I only could,
I'd make a deal with God,
And I'd get him to swap our places,
Be running up that road,
Be running up that hill,
Be running up that building.
Say, If I only could, oh...
You,
It's you and me,
It's you and me who won't be unhappy.
Come on baby, come on darling
Let me steal this moment from you now
Oh come on angel, come on come on darlin'
Let's exchange the experience oh...
And if I only could,
I'd make a deal with God,
And I'd get him to swap our places,
Be running up that road,
Be running up that hill,
With no problems...
Say if I only could,
I'd make a deal with God,
And I'd get him to swap our places,
Be running up that road,
Be running up that hill,
With no problems...
Say if I only could,
I'd make a deal with God,
And I'd get him to swap our places,
Be running up that road,
Be running up that hill,
With no problems...
Say, If I only could...
Oh...
Be running up that hill,
With no problems...
If only I could,
November night, looking up into the sky,
You said,
"Hey, wish that was me up there--
It's the biggest rocket I could find,
And it's holding the night in its arms
If only for a moment.
I can't see the look in its eyes,
But I'm sure it must be laughing."
But it seemed to me the saddest thing I'd ever seen,
And I thought you were crazy, wishing such a thing.
I saw only a stick on fire,
Alone on its journey
Home to the quickening ground,
With no one there to catch it.
I put on my pointed hat
And my black and silver suit,
And I check my gunpowder pack
And I strap the stick on my back.
And, dressed as a rocket on Waterloo Bridge--
Nobody seems to see me.
Then, with the fuse in my hand,
And now shooting into the night
And still as a rocket,
I land in the river.
Was it me said you were crazy?
I put on my cloudiest suit,
Size 5 lightning boots, too.
'Cause I am a rocket
On fire.
Look at me go, with my tail on fire,
With my tail on fire,
On fire.
It's raining, what has become of my painting
All the colors are running
So all the colors run, so all the colors run
He got her drunk very quickly
Holding hands, they found the broom-cupboard
Where he had control as far as the fall
When his hand covered wet hair
She took over among furniture wax
Dust, and the cloying yellow of polishing-cloth
When he was sick, she comforted him
Oh hush, my friend, and sleep
And cuddle to the wind
Sleep on through the waves
That may wet your lover's dream
We have been far through this night long hours
We will go far, tomorrow, out of sight, ooh...
He couldn't do it properly
The disco, the office, the pub,
Had left out those details of delight.
Satisfied, he would collapse out,
Puzzled at why she still squirmed,
Held onto him, tears curling into her mouth
This was something their stories always omitted
That her joy would seem like pain
When he focused after his release.
Do sand and shells and stones
Peep in through your night?
But you should not be hurt
For all will pass with time.
We have been far through this night long hours
We will go far, tomorrow, out of sight, ooh...
In the third week of the relationship
She was tripping on organic acid
Would stop to pick up a rained-out leaf
Would give it tenderly into his hand
Full of dead things before they reached the car
When they drove she sat with mouth open
As though photographed on the impact of a stomach punch
Her right fist gripping the skin of his left leg
Hooking the steering-wheel closer to his heart
He feared her, and slapped out sideways into her face
She entered the cut with her tongue
Gurgling gratitude for the strange taste
Do you fear the dark?
Then hush, and realise
That though the angels never come
Prayers can soothe your mind
We have been far through this night long hour
We will go far, tomorrow, out of sight, ooh...
There was no premonition of the wet Hog's Back
The sportscar slumped, snout into a beech
Their corpses giving the vehicle arms
Petrol and blood at last dripping together
But quick flashes of a planned lunch
Cold red beef, white cloth by a cherrywood fire
Game pie, and for him two pints of colder beer
The winter air tucking under their eyelids
As they spun on the gravel at Clandon
Their hands steaming from quick moisture
The aromatic finger drawn up to his nostril
Dazed after mutual masturbation
They zigzagged into a conservative end
Earth for all creatures
A thought for all (wo)men
Right for the speechless
Wrong until then?
Eyes for the laughter
Thirst for the tongue
Hands for together
Ears for the song
The song of love
We sing in silence
Every moment long
Once
Here to be done as we do
With only one chance
Here for the wonder of under the stars
For the one and only
Once
Joy for the children
Hope for the chance
Men for the women
Now for the dance
The dance of love
We dance just once
In unique circumstance
Once
Here to be done as we do
With only one chance
Here for the wonder of under the stars
The night doesn't like it
Looks just like your face on the moon to me
And I won't let you do what you want to do
It's funny how even now you're laughing
I won't let you do it
If you go, I'll let the law know
And they'll head you off when you touch the ground
Ooh please don't go through with this, I don't like the sound of it
It's funny how even now you're miles away
I won't let you do it, I won't let you do it
I won't let you go through with it
Meet them over at dover, I'll just pilot the motor
Take them over the water
With a hired plane and with no names mentioned
Tonight's the night of the flight before you know
I'll be over the water like a swallow
There's no risk, I'll whisk them up in no moonlight
Though pigs can fly they'll never find me posing
As the night, I'm home before the morning
In Malta, catch a swallow
For all of the guilty to let them free
Wings fill the window and they beat and bleed
They hold the sky on the other side of borderlines
I won't let you do it, I won't let you do it
I won't let you go through with it
Meet them over at dover, I'll just pilot the motor
Take them over the water like a swallow flying to Malta
With a hired plane and with no names mentioned
Tonight's the night of the flight before you know
I'll be over the water like a swallow
There's no risk, I'll whisk them up in no moonlight
Though pigs can fly, they'll never find me posing
As the night, I'm home before the morning
Give me a break, ooh let them fly
Give me something to show for my miserable life
Something to take, would you break even my wings
Like a swallow
(Let me, let me go)
With a hired plane and no names mentioned
Tonight's the night of the flight, before you know
I'll be over the water like a swallow
There's no risk, I'll whisk them up in no moonlight
Though pigs can fly, they'll never find me posing
As the night, I'm home before the morning
(Let me, let me go)
With a hired plane and no names mentioned
Tonight's the night of the flight before you know
I'll be over the water like a swallow
(Let me, let me go)
There's no risk, I'll whisk them up in no moonlight
Though pigs can fly, they'll never find me posing as the night
And I'm home before the morning
(Let me, let me go)

Got to get some food
I'm so hungry all the time
I don't know how to stop
I don't know how to stop
Got to get some sleep
I'm so nervous in the night
I don't know how to stop
No, I don't know how to stop
I don't know how to stop
I don't know how to stop
Got to pick up the phone
I will call any number
I will talk to anyone
I know I'm gone too far
Much too far I gone this time
And I don't want to think what I've done
I don't know how to stop
No, I don't know how to stop
There are always hidden silences
Waiting behind the chair
They come out when the coast is clear
They eat anything that moves
I go shaky at the knees
Lights go out, stars come down
Like a swarm of bees
No self-control
You know I hate to hurt you
I hate to see your pain
But I don't know how to stop
No, I don't know how to stop
Street after street
Night after night
I walk on through the rain
I walk on through the rain
Passing through air.
You mix the stars with your arms.
Walking through there.
The doom of eternity balms.
Skies of grey,
Are not today.
Oh! If you throw my love away,
I need your loving, I need your loving, I ...
Oh! If you pour down rain today,
I need your love,
So much, so much!
Laughing through smiles.
You lick my love with the years.
Walking for miles.
You cool my brow with your tears.
Skies of grey,
Are not today.
Oh! If you throw my love away,
I need your loving, I need your loving, I ...
Oh! If you pour down rain today,
I need your love, need your care
So much, so much, so much!
Are not today.
Oh! If you throw my love away,
I need your loving, I need your loving, I ...
Oh! If you pour down rain today,
I need your love, need your care
We look to the left and to the right
We need help but nobody's in sight
Where is the man that we all need?
Well, tell him he's to come and rescue me
Do do 'n do do 'n do dow
Do do 'n do do 'n do dow
Ken is the man that we all need
Ken is the leader of the GLC
Now head 'em up
Rope 'em in, move 'em out
Now can't you see
That we need the leader of the GLC?
Do do 'n do do 'n do dow
Do do 'n do do 'n do dow
Ken is the man that we all need
Ken is the leader of the GLC
Who is the man we all need?

In the warm room
Her perfume reaches you
Eventually, you'll fall for her
Down you'll go
To where the mellow wallows
In the warm room
She'll touch you with your mamma's hand
You'll long to kiss those red lips
When you do
It'll feel like kicking a habit
She'll tell you that she'll stay
Ooh, so you'd better barricade the way out
She'll tell you, she's true
She'll tell you, she loves you
She's waiting in that warm room
In the warm room
She prepares to go to bed
She'll let you watch her undress
Go places where
Your fingers long to linger
In the warm room
You'll fall into her like a pillow
Her thighs are soft as marshmallows
Say hello
To the soft musk of her hollows
She'll tell you that she'll stay
Ooh, so you'd better barricade the way out
She'll tell you she's true
She'll tell you she loves you
She's waiting in that warm room
In the warm room
You talked me into the game of chance
It was '39 before the music started
When you walked up to me and you said
"Hey, heads, we dance"
Well, I didn't know who you were
Until I saw the morning paper
There was a picture of you
A picture of you 'cross the front page
It looked just like you, just like you in every way
But it couldn't be true, it couldn't be true
You stepped out of a stranger
They say that the devil is a charming man
And just like you, I bet he can dance
And he's coming up behind in his long
Tailed black coat dance, all tails in the air
But the penny landed with it's head dancing
A picture of you, a picture of you in uniform
Standing with your head held high
Hot down to the floor but it couldn't be you
It couldn't be you, it's a picture of Hitler
He go do do do-do-do
He go do-do-do-do-do
He go do-do-do-do-do
Do you want to dance?
Well, I couldn't see what was to be
So I just stood there laughing
A picture of you, a picture of you in uniform
Standing with your head held high
Hot down to the floor but it couldn't be you
It couldn't be you, it's a picture of Hitler
He go mmh-mmh-mmh-mmh-mmh
He go mmh-mmh-mmh-mmh-mmh
He go mmh-mmh-mmh-mmh-mmh
("hee-haw! hee-haw! hee-haw!")
When you left, the door was
(slamming!)
You paused in the doorway
(slamming!)
As though a thought stole you away.
(slamming!)
I watched the world pull you away.
(lock it!)
So I run into the hall,
(lock it!)
Into the corridor.
(lock it!)
There's a door in the house
(slamming).
I hear the lift descending.
(slamming!)
I hear it hit the landing,
(slamming!)
See the hackles on the cat
(standing).
With my key i
(lock it).
With my key i
(lock it up).
With my key i
(lock it).
With my key i

I am the concierge chez-moi, honey.
Won't letcha in for love, nor money.
("let me in!")
My home, my joy.
I'm barred and bolted and i
(won't let you in).
(get out of my house!)
No stranger's feet
Will enter me.
(get out of my house!)
I wash the panes,
(get out of my house!)
I clean the stains away.
(get out of my house!)
This house is as old as I am.
(slamming.)
This house knows all I have done.
(slamming.)
They come with their weather hanging 'round them,
(slamming.)
But can't knock my door down!
(slamming.)
With my key i
(lock it).
With my key i
(lock it).
This house is full of m-m-my mess.
(slamming.)
This house is full of m-m-mistakes.
(slamming.)
This house is full of m-m-madness.
(slamming.)
This house is full of, full of, full of fight!

No stranger's feet

"let me in!
"woman let me in!
Let me bring in the memories!
Woman let me in!
Let me bring in the devil dreams!"
I will not let you in!
Don't you bring back the reveries.
I turn into a bird,
Carry further than the word is heard.
"woman let me in!
I turn into the wind.
I blow you a cold kiss,
Stronger than the song's hit."
I will not let you in.
I face towards the wind.
I change into the mule.
"i change into the mule."
Hee-haw! hee-haw! hee-haw-hee-haw-hee-haw-hee-haw...
Just travelling on a bus
From a friend's house,
And all these people are looking at me.
They're gazing out windows,
In any English country gardens.
But as gazes meet,
Vacancy shows on screen.
But I feel inside
As the people here grow colder, I turn to my computer
And spend my evenings with it like a friend
I was loading a new programme
I had ordered from a magazine
Are you lonely, are you lost?
This voice console is a must
I press execute
Hello, I know that you've been feeling tired
I bring you love and deeper understanding
Hello, I know that you're unhappy
I bring you love and deeper understanding
Well, I've never felt such pleasure
Nothing else seemed to matter, I neglected my bodily needs
I did not eat, I did not sleep, the intensity increasing
'Til my family found me and intervened
But I was lonely, I was lost
Without my little black box
I pick up the phone and go, execute
Hello, I know that you've been feeling tired
I bring you love and deeper understanding
Hello, I know that you're unhappy
I bring you love and deeper understanding
Hello
Love and deeper understanding
I turn to my computer like a friend
I need deeper understanding
Give me deeper understanding
Come closer to me, babe,
And the night will come much closer, too.
Can't you see the light
Drawing pictures nearer in the skies?
What is it that you whisper
When you close your eyes?
Come closer to me, babe.
Is it me it's all about?
And who is it that you're always
Calling in your sleep?
Who is Sylvia?
Goodnight, baby. Please
Come on home,
Come on home,
Come on home soon.
Goodnight, baby, X4
Come closer to me now,
For I know there's something you must tell me.
When slumber slips between your lips
Will the secrets ooze out easily?
What is it that you whisper
When you close your eyes?
Come closer to me, babe.
Is it me it's all about?
And who is it that you're always
Calling in your sleep?
Who is Sylvia?
Goodnight, baby. Please
Come on home, X2
Come on home soon.
I still dream of Organon
I wake up crying you're making rain
And you're just in reach
When you and sleep escape me
You're like my yo-yo that glowed in the dark
What made it special made it dangerous
So I bury it and forget
But every time it rains
You're here in my head
Like the sun coming out
Ooh, I just know that
Something good is going to happen
And I don't know when
But just saying it could even make it happen
On top of the world looking over the edge
You could see them coming
You looked too small in their big, black car
To be a threat to the men in power
I hid my yo-yo in the garden
I can't hide you from the government
Oh, God, daddy, I won't forget
'Cause every time it rains
You're here in my head
Like the sun coming out
Ooh, I just know that
Something good is going to happen
I don't know when
But just saying it could even make it happen
And every time it rains
You're here in my head
Like the sun coming out
Like your son's coming out
Ooh, I just know that
Something good is going to happen
I don't know when
But just saying it could even make it happen
Just saying it could even make it happen
[Incomprehensible]
The sun's coming out
High, in Castille,
Lives senora Dali alone.
And higher still
She keeps her gallery.
Distance means nothing to me.
A-ee-aha-ee-aha-oo,
A-ee-aha-ee-aha-oo...
Debris everywhere,
Gazing. It's amazing.
Ferry me over,
Ferry me over,
Ferry me over
The music, Dali.
Deeper here lies hidden answers and treasures for him.
"Oh, I prefer absence," said she,
"My heart grows fonder alone."
A-ee-aha-ee-aha-oo,
A-ee-aha-ee-aha-oo...
Debris everywhere,
Gazing. It's amazing.
Ferry me over,
Ferry me over,
Ferry me over
Please
Don't be-e afraid of this
Coz' we don't move the way they do.
Surely you don't love them?
So why hide it away from me?
Please be easy you got it I haven't,
Somewhere in your "harmineenou, home-arneenou"
There's a room in a long form
Where you just play a tune
It gets us really stoned,
Really amazingly,
Cussi, Cussi, Cussi,
Cussi, Cussi, Cussi. Ah.
Don't let them in
When you see that secret smile.
Baby, don't let them in
When you feel the ribbons eye.
You get the wrong idea,
You'll get broken,
And you never let yourself go again with me.
And I've notice in your eyes
A sadness I don't like.
To recognise
You are feeling a heavy side of your ecstacy.
Now you're getting to me,
So that I can I hardly bear it.
So that I can I hardly bear it.
No no,
Don't get too deep.
Don't let them in
When you see that secret smile.
Baby, don't let them in
When you feel the ribbons eye.
You get the wrong idea,
You'll get broken,
And you never let yourself go again with me,
Outside gets inside
Ooh, through her skin
I've been out before
But this time it?s much safer in
Last night in the sky
Ooh, such a bright light
My radar send me danger
But my instincts tell me to keep
Breathing
(Out, in, out, in, out, in)
Breathing, breathing my mother in
(Out, in, out, in, out, in)
Breathing my beloved in
(Out, in, out, in, out, in)
Breathing, breathing her nicotine
(Out, in, out, in, out, in)
Breathing, breathing the fall
(Out, in, out, in, out, in)
Out, in, out, in, out, in, out, in, out, in
(Out, in, out, in, out, in)
We've lost our chance
We?re the first and last, ooh
After the blast, chips of plutonium
Are twinkling in every lung
I love my beloved, ooh
All and everywhere
Only the fools blew it
You and me knew, life itself is
Breathing
(Out, in, out, in, out, in)
Breathing, breathing my mother in
(Out, in, out, in, out, in)
Breathing my beloved in
(Out, in, out, in, out, in)
Breathing, breathing her nicotine
(Out, in, out, in, out, in)
Breathing, breathing the fall
(Out, in, out, in, out, in)
Out, in, out, in, out, in, out, in
Out, in, out, in, out, in, out, in
Out, out, out, out
{In point of fact, it is possible to tell the
Difference between a small nuclear explosion and
A large one by a very simple method the calling
Card of a nuclear bomb is the blinding flash that}
{Is far more dazzling than any light on earth brighter
Even than the sun itself and it is by the duration
Of this flash that we are able to determine the size of the weapon
(What are we going to do without?)}
{After the flash a fireball can be seen to rise
Sucking up under it the debris, dust and living things
Around the area of the explosion
And as this ascends, it soon becomes recognizable
As the familiar mushroom cloud}
{As a demonstration of the flash
Duration test let?s try and count the
Number of seconds for the flash emitted by a very
Small bomb then a more substantial, medium sized
Bomb and finally, one of our very powerful high yield bombs}
What are we going to do without?
(Ooh, please)
What are we going to do without?
(Oh, let me breathe)
What are we going to do without?
(Ooh, quick, breathe in deep)
We are all going to die without
(Oh, leave me something to breathe)
What are we going to do without?
(Oh, leave me something to breathe)
We are all going to die without
(Oh God, please leave us something to breathe)
What are we going to do without?
Here comes the sunshine
Here comes the son of mine
Here comes the everything
Here's a song and a song for him
Sweet kisses
Three wishes
Lovely, lovely, lovely, lovely, Bertie
Lovely, lovely, lovely, lovely
You're lovely, lovely, lovely, lovely, Bertie
Lovely, lovely, lovely, lovely
The most willful

The most truly fantastic smile
I've ever seen
Sweet kisses
Three wishes
Lovely, lovely, lovely, lovely, Bertie
Lovely, lovely, lovely, lovely
You're lovely, lovely, lovely, lovely, Bertie
Lovely, lovely, lovely, lovely
You're lovely, lovely, lovely, lovely, Bertie

You bring me so much joy
And then you bring me more joy
You bring me so much joy
And then you bring me more joy
You bring me so much joy
And then you bring me more joy
You bring me so much joy
And then you bring me more joy
You bring me so much joy
And then you bring me more joy
You bring me so much joy
And then you bring me more joy
You bring me so much joy
Only you can do something about it.
There's no-one there, my friend, any better.
I might know what you mean when you say you fall apart.
Aren't we all the same? In and out of doubt.
I can see angels standing around you.
They shimmer like mirrors in Summer.
But you don't know it.
And they will carry you o'er the walls.
If you need us, just call.
Rest your weary world in their hands.
Lay your broken laugh at their feet.
I can see angels around you.
They shimmer like mirrors in Summer.
There's someone who's loved you forever but you don't know it.
The dawn has come
And the wine will run
And the song must be sung
And the flowers are melting
In the sun
I feel I want to be up on the roof
I feel I gotta get up on the roof
Up, up on the roof
Up, up on the roof
Oh the dawn has come
And the song must be sung
And the flowers are melting
What kind of language is this?
What kind of language is this?
I can't hear a word you're saying
Tell me what are you singing
In the sun
All of the birds are laughing
All of the birds are laughing
Come on let's all join in
Come on let's all join in
I want to be up on the roof
I've gotta be up on the roof
Up, up high on the roof
Up, up on the roof
