Kate Bush

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

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).

Chorus

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.

Hammer Horror
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

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.

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.

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,

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!

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.
We're all alone on the stage tonight,

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 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.
We needed you, to love us too, we wait for your move

When you left the door was (slamming)
You paused in the doorway
As though a thought stole you away
I watched the world pull you away
(lock it)
So I run into the hall
(lock it)
Into the corridor
There's a door in the house (slamming)
I hear the lift descending
I hear it hit the landing
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 (lock it up)

I am the concierge, chez-moi, honey
Won't letcha in for love or money
My home, my joy
I'm barred and bolted, and I
Won't letcha in

CHORUS:
(Get out of my house)
No stranger's feet
Will enter me
I wash the panes
I clean the stains away

This house is as old as I am
This house knows all I have done
They come with their weather hanging around them
But can't knock my door down
With my key I (lock it)
With my key I (lock it)
This house is full of m-m-my mess
This house is full of m-m-mistakes
This house is full of m-m-madness
This house is full of, full of, full of fight
With my keeper I (clean up)
With my keeper I (clean it all up)
With my keeper I (clean up)
With my keeper I (clean it all up)

I am the concierge, chez-moi, honey
Won't letcha in for love or money
My home, my joy, I'm barred and bolted and I
Won't letcha in

CHORUS

Man: Woman, let me in
Let me bring in the memories
Woman, let me in
Let me bring in the Devil Dreams

Woman: 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

Man: Woman, let me in
I turn into the wind
I blow you a cold kiss
Stronger than the song's hit

Woman: I will not let you in
I face towards the wind
I change into the mule
"Hee-haw"

Both: "Hee-haw"
"Hee-haw"...

Your request matches 1 albums and 10 songs

I wait at the table and hold hands with weeping strangers,
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.

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 leaming how)
I keep them shut
I keep them shut.
Harm is in us,
Harm in us but power to arm.
Harm is in us,
Harm 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 is in us
Harm in you and me
What you letting in?
Tell me what you're letting in
Say what we're gonna let in
We let the weirdness in

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 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
And though pigs can fly
They'll never find us
Posing as the night
And I'm home before the morning.
In Malta catch a swallow
For all of the guilty to set them free
Wings fill the window
And they beat and bleed.
They hold the sky
On the other side
Of border lines
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 ovcr the water,
Like a swallow flying to Malta.
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
And though pigs can fly
They'll never find us
Posing as the night
And I'm home before the morning.
Give me a break,
Ooh let me try,
Give me something to show
For my miserable life
Give me something to take
Would you break even my wings
Just like a swallow,
Let me let me go.
But you're not a swallow
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
And though pigs can fly
They'll never find us
Posing as the night
And I'm home before the morning.
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
And though pigs can fly
They'll never find us
Posing as the night
And I'm home before the morning.

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 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.
Stink of sweat
Stink of cologne and baccy
And their Yankie Hash
With my silver Buddha
And my silver bullet
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
I've seen the coat for me
I`ll track him 'til he drops
Then I'Il 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 pull the pin)
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
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
Just one thing in it me or him and I love life,

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!"

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.
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.

Bang goes another Kanga
On the bonnet of the van.
(See the light ram through the gaps in the land.)
Many an Aboriginie's mistaken for a tree,
'Til you near him on the motonvay,
The tree begin to breathe.
(See the light ram through the gaps in the land.)
Coming in with the golden light in the morning.
Coming in with the golden light is the New Man.
Coming in with the golden light is my dented van.
Woomera
The civilised keep alive the terntonal war.
(See the light ram through the gaps in the land.)
Erase the race that claim the piace
And say we dig for Ore,
Or dangle Devils in a bottle
And push them from the Pull Of The Bush.
(See the light ram through the gaps in the land.)
You find them in the road.
(See the light bounce off the rocks to the sand.)
In the road.
Coming in with the golden light-in the morning
Comin_e in with the golden light-with no waaring
Coming in with the golden light-we bring in the rigging.
Dig, dig, dig, away.
M-M-Many an Aboriginie's mistaken for a tree
(See the light ram through the gaps in the land)
You near him on the motorway the tree begin to breathe.
Erase the race that claim the place and say we dig for Ore.
(See the light ram through the gaps in the land.)
Dangle Devils in a bottle and push them from The Pull Of The Bush
(See the sun set in the hand of the man.)
"Bang" goes another Kanga on the bonnet of the van
(See the light ram through the gaps in the land)
You find them in the road
In the road
(See the light)
Pull of the Bush
(See the light bounce off the rocks to the sand)
Push them from the-Pull of the Bush
See the sun set in the hand of the man.

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.

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

Is coming home from B.F.P.O.
I'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.


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.

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!"

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.

Outside gets inside
Through her skin
I've been out before
but this time it's much safer in
Last night
In the sky
Such a bright light
My radar send me danger
But my instincts tell me to
Keep breathing

Breathing
Breathing my mother in
Breathing my beloved in
Breathing
Breathing her nicotine
Breathing
Breathing the fall
Out - in. out - in, out - in. out - in, out - in

We've lost our chance
We're the first and last
After the blast
Chips of plutonium are twinkling in every lung
I love my beloved
All and everywhere
Only the fools blew it
You and me knew life itself
Is breathing

Breathing
Breathing my mother in
Breathing my beloved in
Breathing
Breathing her nicotine
Breathing
Breathing the fall
Out - in. out - in, out - in. out - in, out - in, 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
(What are we going to do without?)
of the weapon. 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 recognisable
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, let me breathe
Quick, breathe in deep
Leave us something to breathe
Ooh, life is

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.

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 with the shivers and quivers.
Filling me up with the shivers.

Get the bow going!
Let it scream to me:
Violin! Violin! Violin!

Get the bow going!
Let it scream to me:
Violin! Violin! Violin!

Paganini up on the chimney,
Lord of the dance,
With Nero and old Nicky.
Whack that 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, oh, Johnny.
Jigging along with the fiddle-dee-dee.
Jigging along with the fiddle-dee-diddle-dee-dee!

Get the bow going!
Let it scream to me:
Violin! Violin! Violin!

Get the bow going!
Let it scream to me:
Violin! Violin! Violin!

Get the bow going!
Let it scream to me:
Violin! Violin! Violin!

Get the bow going!
Let it scream to me:
Violin! Violin! Violin!

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.

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.

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."

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.

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
Will never be mine.

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.

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...

"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."

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,
Mmh, yes.

Aha-ooh! Aha-ooh! Aha-ooh!
"You'll have to wait in here."

Pray God you can cope.
I'll stand outside
This woman's work,
This woman's world.
Ooh, 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 can't stop thinking:
All the things I should have said, but I never said.
All the things we should have done, but we never did.
All the things I should have 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
Of all the things I should have said, but I never said.
All the things we should have done, but we never did.
All the things that you needed from me.
All the things that you wanted for me.
All the things that I should have given, but I didn't.
Oh, darling, make it go away.
Just make it go away now.

Can't move my arms,
Can't move my legs.
Can't say no,
I can't say yes.
Can't help myself.
I need your help.

(We go)
"Ooh, ooh, what do we do,
Now we just can't move?"
We're calling out for Middle Street.

"Ooh, ooh, what do we do,
Now we just can't move?"
We hang on to every line,
And walk straight down the middle of it.

He thought he was gonna die,
But he didn't.
she thought she just couldn't cope,
But she did.
We thought it would be so hard,
But it wasn't...
It wasn't easy, though!

Can't say yes,
I can't say no.
Can't begin,
Can't let go...
Help me now.

(We go)
"Ooh, ooh, what do we do,
Now we just can't move?"
We're calling out for Middle Street.

"Ooh, ooh, what do we do,
Now we just can't move?"
We hang on to every line,
And walk straight down the middle of it.

He thought he was gonna die,
But he didn't.
She thought she could never cope,
But she did.
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.
Calling out for Middle Street.
Calling out for Middle Street,
Walking straight down the middle of it.

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
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 it, keep on a-tuning in
Synchronize 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

James, come on home
You've been gone too long, baby
We can't let our 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

Remember Genie, from the casino
She still a - waiting in her big brass bed
The boys from your gang are knocking whisky back
'Till they get out of hand
And wish they were dead
They're only lonely for the life that 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
You're running away from humanity
You're running out of reality
It won't be funny when they
Rat - a - tat - tat you down

(Come up and be a kite)

Beelzebub is aching in my belly-o.
My feet are heavy and I'm rooted in my wellios
And I want to get away and go

(I wanna be)

From all these

(I wanna be home)

Mirror windows.

I look at eye level, it isn't good enough.
And then I find it out when I take a good look up.
There's a hole in the sky

(there's a hole in the)

With a big eyeball

(there's a hole in the sky)

Calling me:


"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!"

(Come up and be a kite)


I feel a rush along my body, like a bullet.
I'm 2-D after a push-and-pull feeling.
And I want to get back to

(I wanna be)

Safe home.

(I wanna be 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

(I'd like to be)

Back on the ground,

(I'd like to be down)

But I don't know how to get down, down, down!


"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, oooh, under the moon.
Over the lights, oooh, under the moon.
Over the moon, over the moon!"

(Come up and be a kite)
(Come up and be a kite)

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.

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.
All the time I find I'm living in that evening,
With that feeling of sticky love inside.

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.

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)

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.

(dreamer)

Why did you have to choose our moment?
Why did you have to make me feel that?
Why did you make it so unreal?


Oh! To be in love,
And never get out again.
Oh! To be in love,
And never get out again.
Oh! To be in love,
Never get out again.

Oh! To be in love,
And never get out again.
Oh! To be in love,
And never get out again.
Oh! To be in love,
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!


Oh! To be in love,
And never get out again.
Oh! To be in love,
And never get out again.
Oh! To be in love,
Never get out again.

Hey there, you lady in tears,
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! 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!

A-mama-woma-mama-woman-aha!
A-mama-woma-mama-woman-aha!
Oh, mama-woman, two-in-a-one, aha!
Oh, two in one, aha!
Oh, woman! Woman! Woman! Woman!
There's room for a life in your womb!
There's room for a life in your womb!
Two in one, aha!
Two in one! Two in one! Two in one!
Room for a life in your womb

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're all going to say.
"G" arrives--"Funny, had a feeling he was on his way!"

We raise our hats to the strange phenomena.
Soul-birds of a feather flock together.
We raise our hats to the hand a-moulding us.
Sure 'nuff, he has the answer,
He has the answer
He has the answer, be-duh-be-duh-be-duh-be-duh...
"Om mani padme,
Om mani padme,
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.

We raise our hats to the strange phenomena.
Soul-birds of a feather flock together.
We raise our hats to the hand a-moulding us.
Sure 'nuff, he has the answer,
He has the answer
He has the answer, be-duh-be-duh-be-duh-be-duh...
"Om mani padme,
Om mani padme,
Om mani padme hum."*

"Om mani padme hum.
Om mani padme hum.
Om mani padme hum.
Om mani padme hum..."

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.

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.

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 hear him
before I go to sleep
and focus on the day
that's been.
I realize 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,
oh his love is to eternity.

Ooh he's here again,
the man with the child in his eyes.
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.
When I stay up late
he's always with me
what I feel when I 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 am doing here.
Maybe he doesn't love me,
I just took a trip on my love for him.

Ooh he's here again,
the man with the child in his eyes.
Ooh he's here again,
the man with the child in his eyes.

You'll find me in a Barlin 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

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 burning over your shoulder
Is throwing shadowson 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 stirred in me
Of all the stars I've seen that shine so brightly
I've never known or felt, in myself, so rightly

It's in me, it's in me - and you know it's real
Tuning in your saxophone
Doo - ba - doo - ba - doo

They arrived at an inconvenient 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:
Everyone of us has a heaven inside.


Them heavy people hit me in a soft spot.
Them heavy people help 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.


Them heavy people hit me in a soft spot.
Them heavy people help me.

Rolling the, rolling the, rolling the, rolling the.

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
You told me I was going to lose the fight
Leave behind my wuthering, wuthering
Wuthering Heights

Heathcliff, it's me, your Cathy, I've come home
I'm so cold, let me in your window
Heathcliff, it's me, your Cathy, I've come home
I'm so cold let me in your window

Ooh it gets dark, it gets lonely
On the other side from you
I pine a lot, I find the lot
Falls through without you
I'm coming back love, cruel Heathcliff
My one dream, my only master

Too long I roam in the night
Coming back to his side to put it right
Coming home to wuthering, wuthering
Wuthering Heights

Heathcliff, it's me, your Cathy, I've come home
I'm so cold, let me in your window
Heathcliff, it's me, your Cathy, I've come home
I'm so cold, let me in your window

Ooh let me have it, let me grab your soul away
Ooh let me have it, let me grab your soul away
You know it's me, Cathy.

Heathcliff, it's me, your Cathy, I've come home
I'm so cold, let me in your window
Heathcliff, it's me, your Cathy, I've come home
I'm so cold, let me in your window
Heathcliff, it's me, your Cathy, I've come home
I'm so cold

Our little army boy
Is coming home from B.F.P.O.
I'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.


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.

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,

Outside gets inside
Through her skin
I've been out before
but this time it's much safer in
Last night
In the sky
Such a bright light
My radar send me danger
But my instincts tell me to
Keep breathing

Breathing
Breathing my mother in
Breathing my beloved in
Breathing
Breathing her nicotine
Breathing
Breathing the fall
Out - in. out - in, out - in. out - in, out - in

We've lost our chance
We're the first and last
After the blast
Chips of plutonium are twinkling in every lung
I love my beloved
All and everywhere
Only the fools blew it
You and me knew life itself
Is breathing

Breathing
Breathing my mother in
Breathing my beloved in
Breathing
Breathing her nicotine
Breathing
Breathing the fall
Out - in. out - in, out - in. out - in, out - in, 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
(What are we going to do without?)
of the weapon. 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 recognisable
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, let me breathe
Quick, breathe in deep
Leave us something to breathe
Ooh, life is

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

"It's in the trees!
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

It doesn't hurt me.
You wanna feel how it feels?
You wanna know, know that it doesn't hurt me?
You wanna hear about the deal I'm making?
You be running up that hill
You and me be running up that hill

And if I only could,
Make a deal with God,
And 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 wanna hurt me,
But see how deep the bullet lies.
Unaware that I'm tearing you asunder.
There's a thunder in our hearts, baby.
So much hate for the ones we love?
Tell me, we both matter, don't we?

You, be running up that hill
You and me, be running up that hill
You and me won't be unhappy.

And if I only could,
Make a deal with God,
And 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...

C'mon, baby, c'mon, 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,
Make a deal with God,
And get him to swap our places,
Be running up that road,
Be running up that hill,
With no problems [x2]

'If I only could, be running up that hill.' [x7]

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,

Just when I think I'm king, I must admit,

Just when I think I'm king,

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,

Just when I think I'm king, I must admit,

Just when I think everything's going great,

Hey, I get the break,
Hey, I'm gonna take it all--

When I'm king--

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,
"A jet to Mecca,"
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!"

"Bang" goes another Kanga
On the bonnet of the van

'Til you near him on the motorway

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

Erase the race that claim the place
And say we dig for ore
Or dangle Devils in a bottle

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
Dig, dig, dig 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

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

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 baby live your life for love
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 baby for the sake of love
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
I love you more
I love you more for it

Life is sad and so is love

All for love
Just for the sake of love
You set me free
I set you free

Oh big stripey lie moving
Like a wavy line
Coming up behi-hi-hind

All young gentle dreams drowning
In life's grief
Can you hang on to 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

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

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
You 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 guavva?
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
Eat the music

Oh thou, who givest 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
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, Oh 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

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,

'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,
Could you turn the lights up?

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

Rub-a-dub-a-dub-a-dub
Rub-a-dub-a-dub
Rub-a-dub

One rubberband won't keep you up
Two rubberbands won't keep you up
Three rubberbands won't keep you up
Here I go......(aDLib)
.... Yeah!

One rubberband won't keep you up
Two rubberbands won't keep you up
Three rubberbands won't keep you up

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
And this cross is your heart
And this line is your path

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 happening to ya
Really happening to ya
Really happening to ya

Oh the minute I put them on
I knew I had done something wrong
All her gifts for the dance had gone
It's the red shoes
They can't stop dancing, dancing
And this curve is your smile
And this cross is your heart
And this line is your path

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 happening to ya

She gotta dance
She gotta dance
And she can't stop 'till them shoes come off
These shoes do a kind of voodoo
They're gonna make her dance 'till her legs fall off

Feel your hair come tumbling down
Fell your feet start kissing the ground
Feel your arms are opening out
And see your eyes are lifted to God
With no words
With no song
I'm gonna dance a dream
And make the dream come true
I'm gonna dance a dream
And make the dream come true

She gotta dance
She gotta dance
And she can't stop 'till them shoes come off
These shoes do a kind of voodoo
They're gonna make her dance 'till her legs fall off
Call a doctor
Call a priest
They're gonna whip her up like a helicopter

Really happening to ya
Really happening to ya

You gotta dance

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
And sing it with a kiss

Mmm, 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
Doth 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 your 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
Ooh I'll come in a hurricane for you
I'll do it for you
A wop bam boom

Don't want your bullshit, yeah
Just want your sexuality

One more step to the top of the city
Where just a couple of pigeons are living
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 looking 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
And put me up on the angel's shoulders

See how that building there is nearly built
There's a big fire over on the north of the city
I see you walking down the street with her
I see your lights going 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

And I don't mind if it's dangerous
I don't mind if it's raining
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
And put me up on the angel's shoulders

this chapter says, put it out of your mind
and give it time
the violent purple
the purest gold
the red of the sacred heart
the grey of the ghost
the "l" of the lips are open
to the "o" of the host
the "v" of the velvet

CHORUS
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?

have you ever seen a picture
of Jesus laughing
mmm do you think
he had a beautiful smile
a smile that healed

CHORUS

of all the people in the world

CHORUS

of all the people in the world
why should I love you
(why should I love you)
why should I love you
(why should I love you)
REPEAT TO FADE

it's alright I'll come round when you're not in
and I'll pick up all my things
everything I ever bought with you
but it's alright too
it's just, everything I do
we've done together
and there's a little piece of you
in whatever
I got everything I need
I got some petrol in the care
I 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

I know where I'm going
I'm going to stay with my friend
mmm yes he's 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

we've tied ourselves in knots
done cartwheels cross the floor
just forget it already

(sugar)
(honey)
(sugar)

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

Our little army boy
Is coming home from B.F.P.O.
I'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.


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.

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!"

Outside gets inside
Through her skin
I've been out before
but this time it's much safer in
Last night
In the sky
Such a bright light
My radar send me danger
But my instincts tell me to
Keep breathing

Breathing
Breathing my mother in
Breathing my beloved in
Breathing
Breathing her nicotine
Breathing
Breathing the fall
Out - in. out - in, out - in. out - in, out - in

We've lost our chance
We're the first and last
After the blast
Chips of plutonium are twinkling in every lung
I love my beloved
All and everywhere
Only the fools blew it
You and me knew life itself
Is breathing

Breathing
Breathing my mother in
Breathing my beloved in
Breathing
Breathing her nicotine
Breathing
Breathing the fall
Out - in. out - in, out - in. out - in, out - in, 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
(What are we going to do without?)
of the weapon. 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 recognisable
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, let me breathe
Quick, breathe in deep
Leave us something to breathe
Ooh, life is

Follow the Nile
Deep to much deeper.
The Pyramids sound lonely tonight.

The sands run red
In lands of the Pharoahs.
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.

She's got me with that feline guise,
Got me in those desert eyes.
She's got me with that feline guise,
Got me in those desert eyes.
Oh I'm in love
With Egypt.

I say good night-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 at school.
Back home they'd call me dirty.
His little hand is on my heart.
He's got me where it hurts me.
Knock, knock. Who's there in this baby?
You know how to work me.

All my barriers are going.
It's starting to show.
Let go. Let go.
Let go. 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.

(Poor, stupid girl!)

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 stay and find a way
To stop before it gets too much!

All my barriers are going.
It's starting to show.
Let go. Let go.

(Don't let go)

Let go. Let go. Let go.

No, I'll never give the hunt up
And I won't muck it up
Somehow this is it, I knew
Maybe fate wants you dead, too
We've come together in the very same room
And I'm coming for you

Do you think I'd ever let you
Get away with it, huh?
He swooned in 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"

"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--"

I'll put him on the wedding list
I'll put him on the wedding list
I'll get him 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'm 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
I'm coming for you

"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--"

She sure got him on the wedding list
I'll got him on the wedding list
I'll got him and I will not miss
I'll put him on the wedding list

"And after she shot the guy
She committed suicide
I'm coming, Rudi
"And later, when they analysed
They found a little one inside.
"It must have been Rudi's child"
I shot, I shot, I shot him honey
"Never mind, she got the guy"
He hit the ground, Rudi
"An eye for an eye"
Ashes to ashes...
"Eye for an eye"
I hit him, hit him
Rudi!, Rudi
I'm coming coming coming honey
"Eye for an eye"

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 with the shivers and quivers.
Filling me up with the shivers.

Get the bow going!
Let it scream to me:
Violin! Violin! Violin!

Get the bow going!
Let it scream to me:
Violin! Violin! Violin!

Lord of the dance,
With Nero and old Nicky.
Whack that 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, oh, Johnny.
Jigging along with the fiddle-dee-dee.
Jigging along with the fiddle-dee-diddle-dee-dee!

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.

Please don't let me go.

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?

Fill up his home with priceless junk?

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

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?
