Julian Cope

Well the blues had a baby and the bastard couldn't sing
So the priest holds the candle and the parents kiss the ring
Someone shouted "Let's keep the afterbirth and throw the kid away"
Me? And I fried my brain-sac for the pain I felt today.
So I go out and come in again, so I go out and come in again
So I go out and come in again, see if I can get clean.
Come on, split my head wide open, Scoop out a little of my brain
Need some identification? Julian Cope - the very sane
Yeah and this is not a dainty world to set before the swine
Guess it looks like I'm hanging out and hung up on the line

Winter's getting warmer, the ice-caps are melting
I've got the whole Blues of Creation, snapping at my heels
So I go out and come in again, so I go out and come in again
So I go out and come in again, see if I can get clean.
Come on, split my head wide open, scoop out a little of my brain
Need some identification? Julian Cope - the very sane.
Yeah and this is not a dainty world to set before the swine
Guess it looks like I'm hanging out and hung up on the line

I looked in the mirror, stared at the shelf
I said "Doctor, doctor, doc, I can't be myself"
Since 1904, this pathway's been just fine
So why should I be hanging out and hung up on the line,
Why should I be hanging out and hung up on the line,
Hanging out - hanging out - we're hanging out.

And this is not a dainty world - and this is not a dainty world,
And this is not a dainty world to set before the swine,
Guess it looks like I'm hanging out and hung up on the line.

The friend I have is a passionate friend
But I can't see you buying
Love a dream of a love affair
That's, over, past & dying

Celebrate, the great escape
From lunacy divided
Hunnanoo, I'm seeing you
But nobodys decided

A sound that's drifting out from you
When the love has boiled away
Colours shape and there are things that need
A beating heart not a cheating heart
But a cheating heart, is still a beating heart
I believe in you today

My life see's me wandering
Lost in smiles forever
Erase my mind see what I find
Axes dream together

I've got all sleeps secrets hidden in my bag
But a lot are leaving 'cos their not believing
That you could ever do that thing
And never bring yourself to sing

Bah bah bah bah bah

The friend I have is a passionate friend
But I can't see you buying
Love a dream of a love affair
That's, over, past & dying

Celebrate the great escape
Carry my soul away
From sufferance intolerance
Leaving you today

Bah bah bah bah bah

Sunspots changing glares
Walking ‘round with my very best friend
I’ve got a love song in my head
Strolling ‘round with my very best friend

I look back but I don’t see
Walking round with my very best friend
She looks good--fine to me
I’m in love with my very best friend

And eeeeyoooo, it goes away
And eeeeyoooo, it goes away

Sunspots changing gear
Driving ‘round with my very best friend
I gotta love song in my head
Holding on to my very best friend

We look back but I can’t see
Moving on with my very best friend
She looks good--fine to me
I’m in love with my very best friend

Eeeeyoooo, it goes away
And eeeeyoooo, it goes away

And eeeeyoooo, it goes away
And eeeeyoooo, it goes away
Way, way, way!

And I stand in every corner of your heart
And I give you everything that I call love
From the heavens to the bottom of the sea

Trampolene, I can't believe
You're trampling me
You tell it to me softly,
Then you disagree

Well I stand at heavens gate
Come see me cry
Heavens gate is locked,
They will not let me by
And so I walk a little mile,
Into your dream
And tell me what is on your mind
My trampolene

Trampolene, I can't believe
You're trampling me
You tell me softly,
Then you disagree

She fills my heart
I give her none
My smile is overload
Her heart is fired and very very strong
And I cannot take her on
You're searching for a truce inside my head
Is what it seems
But I cannot forget my trampolene

She's flying in the face of fashion now
Seems to have a will of her own
She's flying in the face of fashion, yeah
Seems to have it all chromed
The time was going, so frequently
She said if I try harder again
She's flying in the face of fashion now
Sells the world annually to a friend

She's singin' world shut your mouth, shut your mouth
Put your head back in the clouds and shut your mouth
World shut your mouth, shut your mouth
Put your head back in the clouds and shut your mouth

She always used to live so secretly
I'd be seen in the avenue sound
And taking on the role of the four winds now
Having tea there out in the crowd
She's flying in the face of fashion, yeah
Seems to have a will of her own
In lieu of what you're saying so frequently
She seems to have it all adds up

She's singin': world shut your mouth, shut your mouth
Put your head back in the clouds and shut your mouth
World shut your mouth, shut your mouth
Put your head back in the clouds and shut your mouth

World shut your mouth, shut your mouth
Put your head back in the clouds and shut your mouth
World shut your mouth, shut your mouth
Put your head back in the clouds and shut your mouth

World shut your mouth, shut your mouth
Put your head back in the clouds and shut your mouth
World shut your mouth, shut your mouth
Put your head back in the clouds and shut your mouth
World shut your mouth, shut your mouth
Put your head back in the clouds and shut your mouth
World shut your mouth, shut your mouth

In the dark's early light I went out to the sun
I saw the sun rise over the land, I stretched my arms way out
Feeling the sun rays hitting my eyes and I felt way out
I help my body in the shape of a cross I was hypnotized

These were band new feelings for me
Feeling my body in the shape of a cross
Feeling my body in the shape of a cross
And trying hard not to freak out!

This is the lesson I've learned
I'm not afraid of the cross
And whenever the sun shines
I stretch my arms way out

I stretch my arms way out

You seem lonely oh Avalon
I feel evidence very strong
Beautiful love now beautiful love where have you gone

You make my life oh so long

Say make believe it ain't so wrong
Beautiful love now beautiful love where have you gone

I'd leave my life it weren't for you
Believe in love it weren't for you
Beautiful love now beautiful love what do you do

I know so

You seem lonely oh love adieu
you need to find a new bonjour
Even when you go I still love you so
Love you so

And even even when you leave
It doesn't matter when you leave
You're my beautiful love, beautiful love
My beautiful love
My beautiful love
My beautiful love
My beautiful love
My beautiful love

Pristeen. Pristeen
How much can you take?
Pristeen. Pristeen
How much can you take?
'Cause your lying to me was you first mistake,
Your trusting in me was your major mistake,
Pristeen. Pristeen
How much can you take?
'Cause your lying to me was your first mistake,
Trusting in me was your major mistake,
Pristeen. Pristeen
How much can you take?
I went down on Pristeen,
Now, how much does it take
To go down on someone - someone that you hate?
'Cause her lying to me was her first mistake,
Trusting in me was her major mistake,
Pristeen. Pristeen, tell me how much can you take?
