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. 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 lily in my soul. Moving liquid Yes, you are just as 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. How I'm moved. How you move me With your beauty's potency. You give me life. (You give me life) Please don't let me go. (Please don't let me go) You give me life. (You give me life) Please don't let me go. (Please don't let me go) Oh, You give me life. (Oh, You give me life) Please don't let me go. (Please don't let me go) You crush the lily in my soul, (la-la-la-la la lily) Soul (la-la-la-la la lily) Soul (la-la-la-la la lily) |

Could you see the aisles of women?
Could you see them screaming and 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 Through 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 that 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 |

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 bucket And I cleaned and I cleaned The kitchen floor Until it sparkled Then I took my laundry basket And put the linen all in it And everything I could fit in it And 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 wrapping itself in your trousers Oh the waves are going out My skirt floating up around my waist As I wade out into the surf Oh and the waves are coming in Oh and the waves are going out Oh and you're standing right behind me Little fish swim between my legs Oh and the waves are coming in Oh and the waves are going out Oh and the waves are coming in Out of the corner of my eye I think I see you standing outside But it's just your shirt Hanging on the washing line Waving its arm as the wind blows by And it looks so alive Nice and white Just like its 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 Washing machine |

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 |

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 “Little brown jug don't I love thee” “Little 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 What do you feel? |

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 |

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 colour Where sands sing in crimson, red and rust Then climb into bed and turn to dust Every sleepy light Must say goodbye To 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 colour 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 colour Where sands sing in crimson, red and rust Then climb into bed and turn to dust Chorus : 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 They all go all the way up to the top of the night |

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 The Chorus : Goodnight sun Goodnight sun The sun : Goodnight mum |

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? 'Cause when I am unhappy, 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-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!" I'm coming up the ladder, I'm coming up the ladder, "Tibet or Jeddah, Up the ladder... "To Salisbury, A monastery, The longest journey, Across the desert, Across the weather, Across the elements, Across the water!" |

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 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 got the job sussed This shops shut for business The look-out 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. We're waiting You blow the safe up Then all I know is I wake up, 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 photoeraph 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 There goes a tenner Hey look, there's a fiver There's a ten shilling note Remember them? That's when we used to vote for him. |

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 Buddah And my silver bullet 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.

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 cnn't have it all 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 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 Can I have it all. I won't open boxes that I am told not to, I'm not a Pandora I'm much morc 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.

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 gnef 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, ail the love, all the love. 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 fesr 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 we should have given AIl the love, all the love, all the love you could have given All the love, all the love, all the love.

Wait for you to join the group. The tambounnes 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 tnck of his This is your magic. I'd catch the queues watching you Hoping you'd do something 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 Bound and drowned And paler than you've ever been. With your life the only thing in my mind We pull you from the water. Houdini, You and I and Rosabel believe. |

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, Mmh, yes. |

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 of 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 walking into this room Like you're walking into my arms. What would I do without you? Take away the love and the anger, And a 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?) Take away the love and the anger, And a 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. We're building a house of the future together. (What would we do without you?) Mmmm, yeah, mmmm, yeah, mmmm, yeah, Oh yeah, oh yeah, oh yeah. Well, if it's so deep you don't think that you can speak about it, Just remember to reach out and touch the past and the future. Well, if it's so deep you don't think you can speak about it, Don't ever think that you can't change the past and the future. (What would we do without you?) You might not, not think so now, But just you wait and see, someone will come to help you. Mmmm, yeah, Mmmm, yeah, Mmmm, Mmmm, Mmmm, yeah. Laughs. |

"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." |

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...) Reaching out for Mama. |

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 its 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-- "Heads we're dancing." |

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." I turn to my computer like a friend. I need deeper understanding. Give me deeper understanding. |

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. |

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.

That 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. Hey, look at me go, look at me... |

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. 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 thought 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.

Do you think that they care if they're real, woman? 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 built tough, Because we're woman. No, we never die for long, While we've got that little life To live 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. No, we never die for long, While we've got that little life To live for, where it's hid inside. Oh!

Your sister I was born. You must lose me like an arrow, Shot into 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 the moon meet on yon hill. 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 into the killer storm. 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 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. 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 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. 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 spent a lot of my time looking at blue-- No wonder that I blue it! |

In Search Of Peter Pan
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 an old man. 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 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 Ilve got a pin-up from a newspaper, Of Peter Pan. I found it in a locket, I hide it in my pocket. 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 When you wish upon a star, Makes no difference who you are. When you wish upon a star, Your dreams come true. |

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. 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, Wc'd give you a part my love, But you'd have to play the fool. WOW, WOW, WOW, WOW, WOW, WOW, Unbelievable.

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). Chorus 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 push your foot on the heartbrake. She's losing that inner flame. It was burning bright but she's losing the fight fast, She's only herself to blame, Well take 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).

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 Bndge in rain again Oh Endand My Lionheart, Peter Pan steals the kids in Kensington Park You read me Shakespeare on the Rolling Thames, That Old River Poet that never, ever ends Our Thumping hearts hold the Ravens in, And keep the tower from tumbling. 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 appleblossom, Give me one wish and i'd be wassailing In the orchard my English Rose, Or with my Shepherd who'll bnng me home Oh England My Lionheart, |

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 and they nag'til they're under your skin.) 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, By questioning all that I do, Examining every move, Trying to get back to the rudiments, (If they nig and they nag, I'II just put in the boot.) 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. 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. |

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, But when you do, it'll feel like kicking a habit. She'll tell you that she'll stay, So you'd better barricade the way out, She'll lell 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 Iinger, 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, So you'd better barricade the way out, She'll lell you she's true, She'll tell you she loves you. In the warm room, She's waiting in that warm room. |

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 ?la lune. 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. 'Coz when all the alley-cats come out, You can he? music from Kashka's house. At night they're seen, Laughing, loving, They know the way To be happy. |

Coffee Homeground
Down in the cellar, You're getting into making poison, You slipped some on the side, Into my glass of wine, And I don't want any coffee-homeground. Offer me a chocolate, No thank you spoil my diet, know your game! But tell me just how come They smell of bitter almonds? It's a no-no to your coffee homeground. CHORUS Pictures of Crippin, lipstick-smeared, Torn wallpaper, have the walls bot ears here? Well, 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 (put me in a six foot plot). With your hemlock on the rocks. Where are the plumbers, Who went a-missing here on Monday? There was a tall man, With his companion, And I bet you gave them coffee-homeground. Well maybe you are lonely, And only want a little company, But keep your recipes for the rats to eat And may they rest in peace with coffee-homeground. CHORUS |

You stood in the Belltower, But now you're gone. So who knows all the sights Of Natre Dame? They've got the stars for the gallant hearts, I'm the replacement for your part, But all I want to do is 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 |

It's coming!" 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 through the trees Help me, someone! Help me, please! Take my shoes off And throw them in the lake And I'll be Two steps on the water I found a fox Caught by dogs He let me take him in my hands His little heart It 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 your arms surround me I've always been a coward And never know what's good for me Oh, 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 shoes 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 your love, 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? I need love, love, love, love, love, yeah |

They look down
At the ground, Missing. But I never go in now. I'm looking at the Big Sky. I'm looking at the Big Sky now. I'm looking at the Big Sky. You never really understood me. You never really tried. That cloud, that cloud-- Looks like Ireland. C'mon and blow it a kiss now, 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, C'mon and build me an Ark." And if you're coming, jump, 'Cause We're leaving with the Big Sky. We're leaving with the Big Sky. And we pause for the jets-- hup! hup!--in the Big Sky! You want my reply? What was the question? I was looking at the Big Sky. 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!" |

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 will 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 will hide the murderer. Mother hides the madman. Mother will stay mum. Mother stands for comfort. Mother will hide the murderer. Mother hides the madman. Mother will stay mum. |

I still dream of Orgonon
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 gonna 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 gonna to happen. And 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 And I don't know when But just saying it could even make it happen Ooh, just saying it could even make it happen We've been cloudbusting daddy The sun's coming out Your son's coming out |

Little light shining,
Little light will guide them to me. My face is all lit up, My face is all lit up. If they find me racing white horses, They'll not take me for a buoy. Let me be weak, Let me sleep And dream of sheep. "Attention shipping information in sea areas...Bell Rock, Tiree, Cromaty, gale east...Malin, Sellafield..." "Come here with me now." Oh, I'll wake up To any sound of engines, Ev'ry gull a seeking craft. I can't keep my eyes open-- Wish I had my radio. I tune in to some friendly voices Talking 'bout stupid things. I can't be left to my imagination. Let me be weak, Let me sleep And dream of sheep. Ooh, their breath is warm And they smell like sleep, And they say they take me home. Like poppies heavy with seed They take me deeper and deeper. |

It's wonderful.
Everywhere, 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. 'It's me.' |

Hello, old lady.
I know your face well. I know it well. She says, "Ooh-na-na-na-na-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, no, no! Oh, oh, oh, "Let me live!" She said. "C'mon and let me live, girl!" She said, "C'mon and let me live, girl!" ("C'mon and let me live!") "This moment in time," (She said.) It doesn't belong to you," (She said,) It belongs to me, "And to your little boy and to 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? Ooh, na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na- "Never, never say goodbye To my part of your life. Oh no, no, no, no, no! Never, never, never! Never, never let me go!" She said, "C'mon and let me live, girl!' ("C'mon and let me live!") She said, "C'mon and let me live, girl!" ("C'mon and let me live!") I put this moment..............................................here. I put this moment.........................here. I put this moment-- "Over here! "Over here! Can't you see where memories are kept bright? Tripping on the water like a laughing girl. Time in her eyes is spawning past life, One with the ocean and the woman unfurled, Holding all the love that waits for you here. Catch us now for I am your future. A kiss on the wind and we'll make the land. Come over here to where When lingers, Waiting in this empty world, Waiting for Then, when the lifespray cools. For Now does ride in on the curl of the wave, And you will dance with me in the sunlit pools. We are of the going water and the gone. We are of water in the holy land of water And all that's to come runs in With the thrust on the strand." |

"Roger that, Dan, I've got a solid TACAN locked on, uh, TACAN twenty-three." "The, uh, tracking data, map data and pre-planned trajectory are all one line on the block" "Roger (?) your (?) block (?) decoded (? recorded?)" Hello, Earth. ("Hello, Earth") Hello, Earth. ("Hello, Earth"). With just one hand held 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! [A men's choral passage in Georgian is sung here.] ("Listen!") Hello Earth, Hello Earth. 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 cloudburst, The head of the tempest. Murderer! Murderer of calm! Why did I go? Why did I go? [The men's choral passage is sung again several times here.] "Tiefer, tiefer. Irgendwo in der Tiefe gibt es ein Licht." Go to sleep little Earth. |

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'm falling, And I'd love to hold you know. 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 |

To tell you how to find it, To tell you where we'll meet. This little girl inside me Is retreating to her favorite 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 (For me.) 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, But 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 (For me.) Go into the garden. Go under the ivy, Go under the leaves, For me Go right to the rose. Go right to the white rose I'll be waiting for you It wouldn't take me long To tell you how to find it |

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.) Tell me please. (We've been waiting.) 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.) I've got to know what you have to say. (We've been waiting.) What have you got to say? (We've been waiting.)

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 travelling wind, And the glimpse of a face at morning. |

She wanted to test her husband.
She knew exactly what to do: A pseudonym to fool him. She couldn't have made a worse 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!" 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!" |

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.
