Apparently they were travelling abroad
And they picked up some hitchhikers...drill Jade: "Oh God..." Wife: "Wake up you're dreaming." Jade: "What?" Wife: "You're dreaming." Jade: "We were moving away from the border." Wife: "Huh, what border?" Jade: "Have a nice day." Wife: "Huh?" Jade: "Have a nice day." We were moving away from the border Looking for somewhere to sleep The two of us sharing the driving Two hitchhikers slumped in the back seat Woman: Hello I sneaked a quick look in the mirror She gave me a smile I said "Is anyone hungry? Should we stop for a while?" So we pulled off into a layby Her dress blew up over her head I said "Would you like to come with me?" She said something foreign under her breath And the sun shone down on her lovely young limbs I thought to myself she's too good for him I lay down beside her with tears in my eyes She said |

Sleep Sleep
I know that I'm only dreaming Jade: "Leave her alone..get out..out..get out of my house!" Through closed eyes I see West German skies on the ceiling And I want to get back To the girl with the rucksack To feel her flaxen hair I want to be there See the sun going down Behind Krupps steelworks On the outskirts of some German town Guten Abend meiner Damen und Herren Ha Ha Ha Ha Willkommen in Konigsburg Ha Ha Ha Ha Wollen zie danzen mit mir oder drinken Bier Ha Ha Ha Ha Thank you but...... This young lady and I Will just finish this bottle of wine It was kind of you...but I think we'll just say goodnight. Jade: "Leave us alone" Goodnight Jade: "Leave us alone" [Bell] Man: Could I have the key to one for three please? "There you are" Man: "Thank you, goodnight" Man: "Hello yes I'd like to order breakfast please I'd like coffee for two, and toast with marmalade. No...marmalade." |

I just cowered in the corner
My pajama coat over my head And she smiled as she finished her sandwich And her cold eyes fixed me to my dark history As she brushed the remains Of our love from the bed And when she had turned back the covers When all of the prayers had been read She said |

As cars go by I cast my mind's eye
Over back packs on roof racks Beyond the horizon Where dream makers Working white plastic processors Invite the unwary To reach for the pie in the sky Go fishing my boy! We set out in the spring With a trunk full of books about everything About solar devices And how nice natural childbirth is We cut down some trees And we trailed our ideals Through the forest glade We dammed up the stream And the kids cooled their heels In the fishing pool we'd made We held hands and we exchanged bands And we practically lived off the land You adopted a fox cub Whose mother was somebody's coat You fed him by hand And then snuggled him down In the grandfather bed while I wrote We grew our own maize And I only occasionally went into town To stock up on antibiotics And shells for the shotgun that I kept around I told the kids stories While you worked your loom And the sun went down sooner each day.

For the first time today
I feel it's really over You were my everyday excuse For playing deaf, dumb and blind And who'd have ever thought This was how it would end for you and me To carry my own millstone Out of the trees And I have to admit I don't like it a bit Being left here beside this lonesome road Lonesome road Lonesome road |

waitress: "Hello...you wanna cup of coffee?"
Trucker: "Hey...Turn the fucking Juke Box down" waitress: "I'm sorry, would you like a cup of coffee? Ok you take cream and sugar?" In truck stops and hamburger joints in Cadillac limousines In the company of has-beens In bent-backs in sleeping forms On pavement steps In libraries and railway stations In books and banks In the pages of history In suicidal cavairy attacks I recognise... Myself in every stranger's eyes And in wheelchairs by monuments Under tube trains in commuter accidents In council care and county courts At Easter fairs in sea-side resorts In drawing rooms and city morgues In award winning photographs Of life rafts in the china seas In transit camps, under arc lamps On loading ramps In faces blurred by rubber stamps I recognise... Myself in every stranger's eyes And now from where I stand Upon the hill I plundered from the pool I look around, I search the skies I shade my eyes, so nearly blind And I see signs of half remembered days I hear bells that chime in strange familiar ways I recognise... The hope you kindle in your eyes It's oh so easy now As we lie here in the dark Nothing interferes it's obvious How to beat the tears That threaten to snuff out The spark of our love |

There's a ship lies rigged and ready in the harbor
Tomorrow for old England she sails Far away from your land of endless sunshine To my land full of rainy skies and gales And I shall be aboard that ship tomorrow Though my heart is full of tears at this farewell For you are beautiful, I have loved you dearly More dearly than the spoken word can tell For you are beautiful, I have loved you dearly More dearly than the spoken word can tell I've heard there's a wicked war a-blazing And the taste of war I know so very well Even now I see the foreign flag a-raising Their guns on fire as we sail into hell I have no fear of death, it brings no sorrow But how bitter will be this last farewell For you are beautiful, I have loved you dearly More dearly than the spoken word can tell For you are beautiful, I have loved you dearly More dearly than the spoken word can tell Though death and darkness gather all about me My ship be torn apart upon the seas I shall smell again the fragrance of these islands And the heaving waves that brought me once to thee And should I return home safe again to England I shall watch the English mist roll through the dale For you are beautiful, I have loved you dearly More dearly than the spoken word can tell For you are beautiful, I have loved you dearly More dearly than the spoken word can tell |
