Aerial [Aerial]
- The dawn has come
And the wine will run
And the song must be sung
And the flowers are melting
In the sun
I feel I want to be up on the roof
I feel I gotta get up on the roof
Up, up on the roof
Up, up on the roof
Oh the dawn has come
And the song must be sung
And the flowers are melting
What kind of language is this?
What kind of language is this?
I can't hear a word you're saying
Tell me what are you singing
In the sun
All of the birds are laughing
All of the birds are laughing
Come on let's all join in
Come on let's all join in
I want to be up on the roof
I've gotta be up on the roof
Up, up high on the roof
Up, up on the roof
In the sun

All The Love [The Dreaming]
- The first time I died
Was in the arms of good friends of mine.
They kiss me with their tears.
They hadn't been near me for years.
Say, why do it now
When I won't be around, I'm going out?
- "We needed you
To love us too.
We wait for your move."
- Only tragedy allows the release
Of love and grief never normally seen.
I didn't want to let them see me weep,
I didn't want to let them see me weak,
But I know I have shown
That I stand at the gates alone.
- "I needed you
To love me too.
I wait for your move."
- All the love, all the love,
All the love you should have given.
All the love, all the love,
All the love we could have given.
All the love, all the love, all the love,
- The next time I dedicate
My life's work to the friends I make,
I give them what they want to hear.
They think I'm up to something weird
And up rears the head of fear in me.
So now when they ring
I get my machine to let them in.
- "I needed you
To love me too.
I wait for your move."
- All the love, all the love,
All the love you should have given.
All the love, all the love,
All the love we could have given.
All the love, all the love, all the love,
- "Take Care, to-de-loo"
"Bye"
"Bye for now"
"Bye"
"Later"
"Byee"
"Cherio"
"Bye"
"Bye bye"
"Bye"
"See ya"
"Byeee"
"Bye"
"Byee"
"Cheers"
"See ya"
"Bye"
"Goodbye"
"I'll see you soon"
"Goodnight"
- "We needed you
To love us too.
We wait for your move."
All We Ever Look For [Never For Ever]
- 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 nest
And then regret you ever left.
- All we're really looking for
Is another open door.
All we ever look for - another womb.
All we ever look for - is our own tomb.
All we ever look for - ooh, la lune.
All we ever look for - just a little bit of you, too.
All we ever look for,
But we never do score.
- [Krishna, Krishna]
[bird sounds]
[street sounds]
- 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.
An Architect's Dream [Aerial]
- 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
And Dream Of Sheep [Hounds Of Love/The Ninth Wave]
- 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, oh.
They take me deeper and deeper.
And So Is Love [The Red Shoes]
- 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
- (Life is sad and so is love)
- I love you more
I love you more for it
- (Life is sad and so is love)
- Oh yeah, Oh you too.
- (Life is sad and so is love)
- All for love
- (Life is sad and so is love)
- Just for the sake of love
- (Life is sad and so is love)
- You set me free
I set you free
- (Life is sad and so is love)

(B.F.P.O)
(Mammy's hero)
- 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.
- "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."

Should have been a father."

Oh What a waste of

Atlantis [Demo]
- In that ocean.
Wide eyed and deeper in your gaze,
And bluer than the bright that's in the cave.
There is a city,
Came out from you, Atlantis
In ruins, sunken below the waves
- But in the city,
Where there is no one.
What's the point of being free, eh?
When there is nothing there to tie me down,
Oh, no more here.
- The bluest city,
Covered in coral and coral,
On sea chests,
And sealed Jamaician tales.
There is nobody
To count the soldiering meandering whales,
With a shoal of herring amongst the sails.
- But in the city,
Where there is no one.
What's the point of being free, eh?
When there is nothing there to tie me down,
Oh, no more here.
- There is the city Atlantis.
Babooshka [Never For Ever]
- (Babooshka, Babooshka)
- 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!"
(Babooshka)
- She wanted to take it further,
So she arranged a place to go,
To see if he
Would fall for her incognito.
And when he laid eyes on her,
He got the feeling they had met before.
Uncanny how she
Reminds him of his little lady,
Capacity to give him all he needs,
Just like his wife before she freezed on him,
Just like his wife when she was beautiful.
He shouted out, "I'm
- All yours,
Babooshka, Babooshka, Babooshka-ya-ya!

Uncanny how she
Can take him back into a piece of past.
Can say the things that make him want to laugh.
Just like his wife before she freezed on him,
Just like his wife when she was beautiful.
He shouted out, "I'm

Be Kind To My Mistakes [B-side of This Woman's Work]
- It is this that brings us together.
It is this that brings us together.
- It's all right, darling,
We can do this together.
It's all right, darling,
I can think of nothing better.
I don't know you,
And you don't know me.
It is this that brings us together.
I don't know what you are
- (It is this that brings us together.)
- Looking for in me.
- (It is this that brings us together.)
- I don't know what I want,
But my heart is leading.
- Am I yours? Are you mine?
We'll find all we're meant to find.
In your life, in my life,
There are secrets too dark
To let out, to let go of,
To get over.
- But that's all right, baby.
That's all right by me.
'Coz, it's all right now.
- (Just let me say)
Please, ("Yea, yo, yea, yo!")
Please, ("Yea, yo, yea, yo!")
Please, ("Yea, yo, yea, yo!")
Please be kind,
Be kind,
To my mistakes.
Be kind,
Be kind
To me.

Between A Man And A Woman [The Sensual World]
- 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.

Big Stripey Lie [The Red Shoes]
- 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
Blow Away (For Bill) [Never For Ever]
- One of the band told me last night
That music is all that he's got in his life.
So where will it go?
Surely not with his soul.
Will all of his licks and his R'n'B blow away?
- Blow away
Blow away
Blow away
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,
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 (die - in KB Complete).
Dust to dust,
Blow to blow.
Bolan and Moony are heading the show tonight.
- 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,
Don't dump me back there.
Please don't thump me,
Don't bump me,

Brazil [Movie soundtrack]
- When hearts were entertained in June
We stood beneath an amber moon
And softly whispered 'some day soon'
We kissed and clung together
Then
Tomorrow was another day
The morning found me miles away
With still a million things to say
Now
When twilight beams the skies above
Recalling thrills of our love
There's one thing I'm certain of
Return I will
To old Brazil
Breathing [Never For Ever]
- Outside
Gets inside ooh
Through her skin.
I've been out before
But this time it's much safer in.
Last night in the sky, ooh
Such a bright light.
My radar send me danger
But my instincts tell me to keep
- Breathing,
- (out in out in out in)
- Breathing,
- (out in out)
- 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 the last, ooh
After the blast.
Chips of Plutonium
Are twinkling in every lung.
- (ahh)
- I love my
- (ahh)
- Beloved, ooh
All and everywhere,
- (ahh)
- Only the fools blew it.
- (ahh)
- You and me
- (ahh)
- Knew life itself is
- (ahh)
Breathing,
- (out in out in out in)
- Breathing,
- (out in out)
- 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, out in, out in, out, out, out, out, out
- "In point of fact it is possible to tell the
difference between a small nuclear explosion and
a large one by a very simple method. The calling
card of a nuclear bomb is the blinding flash that
is far more dazzling than any light on earth, brighter
even than the sun itself, and it is by the duration
of this flash that we are able to determine the size
- (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,
- (What are we going to do without?)
- Let me breathe!
- (What are we going to do without?)
- Ooh quick, breathe in deep!
- (We are all going to die without)
- Oh, leave me something to breathe!
- (What are we going to do without?)
- Oh, leave me something to breathe!
- (We are all going to die without)
- Oh god please leave us something to breathe!
- (What are we going to do without?)
Oh, life is...

Candle In The Wind [Tribute to Elton John]
- Goodbye Norma Jean
Though I never knew you at all
You had the grace to hold yourself
While those around you crawled
They crawled out of the woodwork
And they whispered into your brain
They set you on a treadmill
And they made you change your name
- And it seems to me you lived your life
Like a candle in the wind
Never knowing who to cling to
When the rain set in
And I would have liked to have known you
But I was just a kid
The candle burned out long before
Your legend ever did
- Loneliness was tough
The toughest role you ever played
Hollywood created a superstar
And pain was the price you paid
Even when you died
Oh the press still hounded you
All the papers had to say
Was that Marilyn was found in the nude
- And it seems to me you lived your life
Like a candle in the wind
Never knowing who to cling to
When the rain set in
Well I would have liked to have known you
But I was just a kid
The candle burned out long before
Your legend ever did
- Goodbye Norma Jean
Though I never knew you at all
Goodbye Norma Jean
From the young man in the 22nd row
Who sees you as something as more than sexual
More than just Marilyn Monroe
- And it seems to me you lived your life
Like a candle in the wind
Never knowing who to cling to
When the rain set in
Well I would have liked to have known you
But I was just a kid
The candle burned out long before
Your legend ever did
- Goodbye Norma Jean
Goodbye Norma Jean
Goodbye
Goodbye Norma Jean
Cloudbusting [Hounds Of Love]
- 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 going to happen.
I don't know when,
But just saying it could even make it happen.
- On top of the world,
Looking over the edge,
You could see them coming.
You looked too small
In their big, black car,
To be a threat to the men in power.
I hid my yo-yo
In the garden.
I can't hide you
From the government.
Oh, God, Daddy
I won't forget,
- 'Cause every time it rains,
You're here in my head,
Like the sun coming out
Ooh, I just know that something good is going to happen.
I don't know when,
But just saying it could even make it happen.
And every time it rains,
You're here in my head,
Like the sun coming out
Like your sons coming out
Ooh, I just know that something good is going to happen.
I don't know when,
But just saying it could even make it happen. Oh.
Ohh, just saying it could even make it happen.

Coffee Homeground [Lionheart]
- 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!
Tell me just how come
They smell of bitter almonds?
It's a no-no to your coffee homeground.
- Pictures of Crippin
Lipstick-smeared.
Torn wallpaper.
Have the walls got 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, 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.
Maybe you're 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.
- Pictures of Crippin
Lipstick-smeared.
Torn wallpaper.
Have the walls got 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 put me in a six-foot plot, with your hemlock
On the rocks.
With your hemlock on the rocks.
- "Noch ein Glas, mein Liebchen?" {Another glass my dear?}
- With your hemlock on the rocks.
With your hemlock on the rocks.
- "Es schmeckt wunderbar!" {It tastes wonderful!}
- With your hemlock on the rocks.
- "Dann sterb' ich wohl!" {Then I will die!}
- With your hemlock on the rocks.
With your hemlock on the rocks.
With your hemlock on the rocks.
With your hemlock on the rocks.
Come Closer To Me Babe [Demo]
- Come closer to me, babe,
And the night will come much closer, too.
Can't you see the light
Drawing pictures nearer in the skies?
What is it that you whisper
When you close your eyes?
Come closer to me, babe.
Is it me it's all about?
And who is it that you're always
Calling in your sleep?
Who is Sylvia?
- Goodnight, baby. Please
Come on home,
Come on home,
Come on home soon.
- Goodnight, baby,
Goodnight, baby,
Goodnight, baby,
Goodnight, baby.
- Come closer to me now,
For I know there's something you must tell me.
When slumber slips between your lips
Will the secrets ooze out easily?
What is it that you whisper
When you close your eyes?
Come closer to me, babe.
Is it me it's all about?
And who is it that you're always
Calling in your sleep?
Who is Sylvia?
- Goodnight, baby. Please
Come on home,
Come on home,
Come on home soon.
- Goodnight, baby,
Goodnight, baby,
Goodnight, baby,
Goodnight, baby.
Constellation Of The Heart [The Red Shoes]
- 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

And we point them away from the big sky
Put your eye right up to the glass, now

The constellation of the heart
The constellation of the heart

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?
Is it gonna hurt, is it 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
- It's gonna be beautiful
- And he might lift me up to the stars
- It's gonna be wonderful
It's gonna be paradise
- (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
- It's gonna be beautiful
It's gonna be wonderful
It's gonna be paradise
- I hear she's opening up the doors to Heaven
Wonderful
Wonderful

A Coral Room [Aerial]
- 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?
Cussi, Cussi [Demo]
- Please
Don't be-e afraid of this
Coz' we don't move the way they do.
Surely you don't love them?
So why hide it away from me?
Please be easy you got it I haven't,
Somewhere in your "harmineenou, home-arneenou"
There's a room in a long form
Where you just play a tune
It gets us really stoned,
Really amazingly,
Cussi, Cussi, Cussi,
Cussi, Cussi, Cussi. Ah.
- Don't let them in
When you see that secret smile.
Baby, don't let them in
When you feel the ribbons eye.
You get the wrong idea,
You'll get broken,
And you never let yourself go again with me.
- And I've notice in your eyes
A sadness I don't like.
To recognise
You are feeling a heavy side of your ecstacy.
Now you're getting to me,
So that I can I hardly bear it.
So that I can I hardly bear it.
No no,
Don't get too deep.
- Don't let them in
When you see that secret smile.
Baby, don't let them in
When you feel the ribbons eye.
You get the wrong idea,
You'll get broken,
And you never let yourself go again with me,
Properly.
The Craft Of Love [Demo]
- I tried to study it for just a while:
All of the potions, from oysters to seducing smiles.
But I've found it's already inside me:
A big round bubble of sensuality,
Dared to be burst,
But worried about getting hurt.
- I know how you like to kiss.
I'll ask you what you're thinking.
Silvers in our dark hair.
The sheets are soaked by your tiny fish.
- The craft of love,
The craft of love,
The craft of life,
The craft of love,
Oo-ooh...
- Tears spring to mind when I go back in time.
All those lost bodies just seeking security.
Jittering strangers with sweating hands,
Heavy and clever and full of demands.
Well I'm similar to you:
We're familiar with what to do.
- I know how you like to kiss.
I'll ask you what you're thinking.
Silvers in our dark hair.
The sheets are soaked by your tiny fish.
- The craft of love,
The craft of love,
The craft of life,
The craft of love,
Oo-ooh...
Dali [Demo]
- High, in Castille,
Lives senora Dali alone.
And higher still
She keeps her gallery.
Distance means nothing to me.
- A-ee-aha-ee-aha-oo,
A-ee-aha-ee-aha-oo...
- Debris everywhere,
Gazing. It's amazing.
Ferry me over,
Ferry me over,
Ferry me over
- The music, Dali.
- Deeper here lies hidden answers and treasures for him.
"Oh, I prefer absence," said she,
"My heart grows fonder alone."
- A-ee-aha-ee-aha-oo,
A-ee-aha-ee-aha-oo...
- Debris everywhere,
Gazing. It's amazing.
Ferry me over,
Ferry me over,
Ferry me over
- The music, Dali.
December Will Be Magic Again [Single]
- Doo do-do doo doo doo doo doo doo
Doo do-do doo doo dooooo
- December will be magic again.
Take a husky to the ice
While Bing Crosby sings White Christmas.
He makes you feel nice.
December will be magic again.
Old Saint Nicholas up the chimney,
Just a-popping up in my memory.
- Ooh, dropping down in my parachute,
The white city, she is so beautiful
Upon the black-soot icicled roofs,
Ooh, and see how I fall.
See how I fall
- Doo do-do doo doo doo doo doo doo do doooo

Come to cover the lovers.

Come to sparkle the dark up.
- (Sparkle the dark up)
- With just a touch of make-up.
Come to cover the muck up.
- (Cover the muck up)
- Ooh, with a little luck.
- December will be magic again.
Light the candle-lights
To conjure Mr. Wilde
Into the Silent Night.
Ooh, it's quiet inside,
Here in Oscar's mind.
December will be magic again.
Don't miss the brightest star.
Kiss under mistletoe.
I want to hear you laugh.
Don't let the mystery go now.
- Ooh, dropping down in my parachute,
The white city, she is so beautiful
Upon the black-soot icicled roofs,
Ooh, and see how I fall.
Ooh, see how I fall.
- Doo do-do doo doo doo doo doo doo do do-do do do dooo
("Fall!") [backwards]
- Ooh, see how I fall.
- Doo do-do doo doo doo doo doo doo do do-do do do dooo
("Fall!") [backwards]

Come to sparkle the dark up.

- With just a touch of make-up.
Come to cover the muck up.
- (Cover the muck up)
- Ooh, with a little luck.
Come to cover the lovers.
- (Cover the lovers)
- But don't you wake them up.
Come to sparkle the dark uuuuuuup.
Oh, I'm coming to cover the lovers.
Ooh, and I'm coming to sparkle the dark up, a-ha.
And I'm coming to cover the muck u-upup.
Oh, I'm coming to cover the lover-er-ers.
And I'm coming to sparkle the dark up, a-ha.
Deeper Understanding [The Sensual World]
- 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 program
I had ordered from a magazine:
"Are you lonely, are you lost?
This voice console is a must."
- I press Execute.
- "Hello, I know that you've been feeling tired.
I bring you love and deeper understanding.
Hello, I know that you're unhappy.
I bring you love and deeper understanding."
- Well I've never felt such pleasure.
Nothing else seemed to matter.
I neglected my bodily needs.
I did not eat, I did not sleep,
The intensity increasing,
'Til my family found me and intervened.
But I was lonely, I was lost,
Without my little black box.
- I pick up the phone and go, Execute.
- "Hello, I know that you've been feeling tired.
I bring you love and deeper understanding.
Hello, I know that you're unhappy.
I bring you love and deeper understanding."
- Hello.
Love.
Hello.
Love and deeper understanding.
- I turn to my computer like a friend.
- [A chant]
"Hello"
"Hello"
- I need deeper understanding.
Give me deeper understanding.
- I hate to leave you
I hate to leave you
I hate to leave you
I hate to leave you
I hate to leave you
I hate to lose you
Delius (Song Of Summer) [Never For Ever]

To be sung of a summer
Night on the water.
Ooh, on the water.

The Disbelieving Angel [Demo]
- So much for all the prayers you've learned.
They are no help to basic needs.
And all the worlds they've shown you
Just make you even greedier.
- So what about divinity?
I'm further away than before.
You're like two stars colliding,
And you're never going to hit the floor.
- Why should I whisper in the church?
Because they say it's sacred ground?
Oh, my sacrilege would do you good.
You see, there's nothing here, I've found.
- I feel so sorry for you,
Believing because they control.
And of all the guardian angels
They chose me to save your soul!
- Oh, I'm just trying to explain,
I'm a disbelieving angel.
Do Bears...? [From Secret Policeman's Ball]
- Rowan Atkinson:
- For years I thought
I'd have to live alone
I never got a letter
Had to disconnect the phone
The only girls I ever saw
Were on TV
But now I've got a Venus
Who's sitting next to me
- Both:
- Do I love you?
Do I want you?
Would I give my life
To you if I could?
Do birds fly?
Do fish swim?
And do bears sha-la-la-la-la
In the woods?
- Rowan:
- I met her in the first class lounge
Of a jumbo jet
It was love at first sight
Romeo and Juliet
- Kate:
- He looked pretty rich
And I was down on m' luck
So I charged him a fortune
For a flying f...
- Rowan:
- ...for crying out loud!
- Both:
- Do I love you?
Do I want you?
Would I sacrifice my life
To you if I could?
Is the Pope Catholic?
Is Luxembourg small?
And do those hairy bears shhh...
In the woods?
- Rowan:
- I introduced her round my friends
She was ace
I was no longer on Earth
But in better place
- Kate:
- He's an utter creep and he
Drives me round the bend
And so to alleviate the boredom
I sleep with his friends
- Rowan:
- Ho ha ho
- Both:
- Do I love you?
Do I want you?
- Kate:
- Would I tear out both my eyes
And fry them if I could?
- Both:
- Is the Bible fiction?
Is True Love a contradiction?
And do bears sha-la-la-la-la
In the woods?
Do I desire you?
Do I adore you?
- Rowan:
- Would I cut off all my toenails
And put them in an envelope with my feet?
- Both:
- Is Reagan Godhead?
Is Chairman Mao dead?
And do those bears sha-la-la-la-la?
- Rowan [really Tim Brooke-Taylor]:
- La-la-la-la-la-la-la-ah
- Kate:
- Mmmmm...
- Rowan [Tim]:
- And do those bears sha-la-la-la-la?
La-la-la-la-la-la-la-ah

Yeah-ye-yeah Yeah-ye-yeah
- Both:

Don't Give Up [Peter Gabriel's album "So"]
- In this proud land we grew up strong
We were wanted all along
I was taught to fight, taught to win
I never thought I could fail
No fight left or so it seems
I am a man whose dreams have all deserted
I've changed my face, I've changed my name
But no-one wants you when you lose
Don't give up
'cos you have friends
Don't give up
You're not beaten yet
Don't give up
I know you can make it good
Though I saw it all around
Never thought that I could be affected
Thought that we'd be last to go
It is so strange the way things turn
Drove the night toward my home
The place that I was born, on the lakeside
As daylight broke, I saw the earth
The trees had burned down to the ground
Don't give up
You still have us
Don't give up
We don't need much of anything
Don't give up
'cause somewhere there's a place
Where we belong
Rest your head
You worry too much
It's going to be alright
When times get rough
You can fall back on us
Don't give up
Please don't give up
Got to walk out of here
I can't take any more
Going to stand on that bridge
Keep my eyes down below
Whatever may come
And whatever may go
That river's flowing
That river's flowing
Moved on to another town
Tried hard to settle down
For every job, so many men
So many men no-one needs
Don't give up
'cause you have friends
Don't give up
You're not the only one
Don't give up
No reason to be ashamed
Don't give up
You still have us
Don't give up now
We're proud of who you are
Don't give up
You know its never been easy
Don't give up
'cause I believe there's a place
There's a place where we belong.
Don't Push Your Foot On The Heartbrake [Lionheart]
- 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 gears
Because of her fears
Of the skidding wheels,
- (The skid of her wheels she feels.)
- Skidding wheels,
- (The skid of her wheels she feels.)
- Spinning wheels.
- (Wheel-skidding feeling.)
Her heart is there,
But they've greased the road.
Her heart is out there,
But she's no control.
Oh, come on, you've got to use your flow.
You know what it's like, and you know you want to go.
Don't drive too slowly.
Don't put your blues where your shoes should be.
Don't put your foot on the heartbrake.
- (She's losing, she's losing, she's losing, she's losing...)
She's losing that inner flame.
It was burning bright,
But she's losing the light fast.
She's only herself to blame.
Well, take care of yourself,
And remember Georgie.
She's so O.D.'d on weeping
She can hardly see
That she's dropping beads.
- (Red, red glass is bleeding.)
- Dropping beads.
- (Red, red glass is bleeding.)
- Dropping beads.
- (Red, red on the parquet.)
Her heart is there,
But they've greased the road.
Her heart is out there,
But she's no control.
Oh, come on, you've got to use your flow.
You know what it's like, and you know you want to go.
Don't drive too slowly.
Don't put your blues where your shoes should be.
Don't put your foot on the heartbrake.
Oh, come on, you've got to use your flow.
You know what it's like, and you know you want to go.
Don't drive too slowly.
Don't put your blues where your shoes should be.
Don't put your foot on the heartbrake.

The Dreaming [The Dreaming]
- 'Bang!' goes another kanga
On the bonnet of the van.

Egypt [Never For Ever]
- 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
Oh I'm in love
Oh I'm in love
With Egypt.
The Empty Bullring [B-side of Breathing]
- Disappears through a window
Out of my mind trying to keep him at home
Out into Rome in the early hours
Leaving me here like Tamlain in her Tower
You are going to the Empty Bullring
Taking your red cloak to regain something
Ooh you Rolling Matador
Kill in your eyes for the old Torre
Run home and shut the door
To Glory and gore
The throw of the Rose
It's all you lived for
But you've lost it all
Your Red Streak on the plot where many feet
Left in incomplete
But you kept the meaning
You feel him charge again
And you feel him cut you down
Right on the spot
Where you thought you were ground for good
These fights of fantasy
Make your wounds more sore
But you've every right
To even grab at the last straw
Oh Lord
Ooh you Rolling Matador
Kill in your eyes for the Torro
Run home and shut the door
To Glory and gore
The throw of the Rose
It's all you lived for
But you've lost it all
Lost it all
Lost it all oh-oh-oh
Experiment IV [12"]
- We were working secretly
For the military.
Our experiment in sound,
Was nearly ready to begin.
We only know in theory
What we are doing:
Music made for pleasure,
Music made to thrill.
It was music we were making here until
- They told us
All they wanted
Was a sound that could kill someone
From a distance.
So we go ahead,
And the meters are over in the red.
It's a mistake in the making.
- From the painful cry of mothers,
To the terrifying scream,
We recorded it and put it into our machine.
?"I'll bet my mum's gonna give me a little toy instrument!"?
- [haunting laughter]
- "Five"
"Experiment four"
"Experiment four"
"Experiment four"
"Experiment four"
"Experiment four"
- But that dream is your enemy.
- [haunting laughter]
- We won't be there to be blamed.
We won't be there to snitch.
I just pray that someone there
Can hit the switch.
- But they told us
All they wanted
Was a sound that could kill someone
From a distance.
So we go ahead,
And the meters are over in the red.
It's a mistake we've made.
- Hmm hmm hmm, hmm hmm hmm.
And the public are warned to stay off.

Feel It [The Kick Inside]
- 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.
Keep on a-moving in.
So keep on a-tuning in.
Synchronise rhythm now.
- Oh, feel it. Oh, oh feel it,
Feel it, my love.
Oh, feel it. Oh, oh feel it,
Feel it, my love.
Oh, I need it. Oh, oh, feel it,
Feel it, my love.
Feel it!
See what you're doing to me.
See what you're doing to me?
See what you're doing to me!
The Fog [The Sensual World]
- 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."
Flowers [Zaine Griff's album "Figures" (backing vocals)]
- You brought us flowers to share
Beautiful flowers to share
Left them with #love in some cafe#
Danced with #ghosts of Genet#
You danced for hours.
You brought us flowers to share
Tranquil perfumes fill the air
I find it #hard to explain it#.
How does #one explain this#
That you brought us flowers
With so much love to share.
You brought us flowers
With so much love to share.
Into this dream you found the door
that introduced your dreams
Where sailors dance, pimps and whores
Don't even stand a chance,
With sailors.
Your life is #sad, there's no life sadder#
It's something #love can't make better#.
Yet you brought us flowers
With so much love to share.
You brought us flowers
With so much love to share.
(Jean Genet)
You brought us flowers
With so much love to share.
(Jean Genet)
You brought us flowers
(Jean Genet)
With so much love to share.
You brought us flowers
(Jean Genet)
With so much love to share.
Frightened Eyes [Demo]
- Just travelling on a bus
From a friend's house,
And all these people are looking at me.
They're gazing out windows,
In any English country gardens.
But as gazes meet,
Vacancy shows on screen.
But I feel inside
The latent hysteria:
"Why is she looking at me?"
- And as I drift from one to one I can see
They're all like me.
They've all got frightened eyes
Saying what they're thinking,
What they are doing tonight.
They've all got frightened eyes,
Saying, "Leave me alone,
I'm perfectly safe here inside.
Please don't surprise me."
- Expressionless.
Everyone here loves cheap wine
We all know good taste,
We just get too busy trying to find
The right games to play.
Impatient, aren't we all?
Watching the time trip by.
And all these people are looking at me.
They're gazing out windows.
They're burning up in there.
- And as I drift from one to one I can see
They're all like me.
They've all got frightened eyes
Saying what they're thinking,
What they are doing tonight.
They've all got frightened eyes,
Saying, "Leave me alone,
I'm perfectly safe here inside.
Please don't surprise me."
Full House [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 Full House in your head tonight
- (You've got to, you've got to)
- 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'll just put in the boot.)
- (You've really got to)
- Remember yourself.
You've got a Full House in your head tonight
- (You've got to, you've got to)
- Remember yourself.
Stand back and see emotion getting you uptight.
Remember yourself.
You've got a Full House in your head tonight
- (You've got to, you've got to)
- Remember yourself.
Stand back and see emotion getting you uptight.
The Gay Farewell [Demo Usual]
- I've never seen
Such a sad queen
As Eddie.
I've seen him raving,
Maybe even in pain,
But never
Weeping like a baby.
- On Saturday afternoon
He was really fine to him.
But on Saturday evening,
Oh, well Eddie was so pretty.
But now his boy is leaving.
- Hey, boy, you're so young
To be a queen weeping.
You're just a little princess.
Oh, Eddie, don't!
Cause what can I do
But listen to you tell your story?
- On Saturday afternoon
He was really fine to him.
But on Saturday evening,
Oh, well Eddie was so pretty.
But now his boy is leaving.
But now his boy is leaving.
But now his boy is leaving him.

Games Without Frontiers [Peter Gabriel's album "3" (backing vocals)]
- Hans plays with Lotte, Lotte plays with Jane
Jane plays with Willi, Willi is happy again
Suki plays with Leo, Sacha plays with Britt
Adolf builts a bonfire, Enrico plays with it
Whistling tunes we hid in the dunes by the seaside
Whistling tunes we're kissing baboons in the jungle
It's a knockout
If looks could kill, they probably will
In games without frontiers-war without tears
Games without frontiers-war without tears
Jeux sans frontières
Andre has a red flag, Chiang Ching's is blue
They all have hills to fly them on except for Lin Tai Yu
Dressing up in costumes, playing silly games
Hiding out in tree-tops shouting out rude names
Whistling tunes we hide in the dunes by the seaside
Whistling tunes we piss on the goons in the jungle
It's a knockout
If looks could kill they probably will
In games without frontiers-wars without tears
If looks could kill they probably will
In games without frontiers-war without tears
Games without frontiers-war without tears
Jeux sans frontieres

I turn into the wind.
I blow you a cold kiss,
Stronger than the song's hit."
I will not let you in.
I face towards the wind.
I change into the Mule.

Hammer Horror [Lionheart]
- You stood in the belltower,
But now you're gone.
So who knows all the sights
Of Notre Dame?
They've got the stars for the gallant hearts.
I'm the replacement for your part.
All I want to do is forget
You, friend.
- 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.
- 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?
- Oh-oh-oh-oh oh-oh-oh-oh ooh oh-oh-oh-oh.
Oh-oh-oh-oh oh-oh ooh.
- 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.
All I want to do is forget
You, friend.
- 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?
Hammer Horror [Demo]
- Who stands in the belltower,
Now you're gone.
And who knows all the sights
Of Notre Dame?
You knew the girls and the times,
You knew the rites and the rhymes.
Now they're trying to push me into your name.
- Hammer Horror, Hammer Horror,
Won't leave it alone.
The first time in my life,
The first break of my life,
Wh(ere) I've let'em go.
Hammer Horror, Hammer Horror,
Won't leave it alone.
Oh no,
It's not the right thing to do!
- Who calls me from the other side
Of the street?
And who taps me on the shoulder?
I turn around, but you're gone.
You know my mind and my heart.
So you should know I wouldn't take your part.
All I want to do is forget
You, friend.
- Hammer Horror, Hammer Horror,
Won't leave it alone.
The first time in my life,
The first break of my life,
Wh(ere) I've letten go.
Hammer Horror, Hammer Horror,
Won't leave it alone.
Oh no,
It's not the right thing to do!
The Handsome Cabin Boy [B-side of Hounds Of Love]
- 'Tis of a pretty female
As you may understand.
Her mind being bent for rambling
Unto some foreign land,
She dressed herself in sailor's clothes,
Or so it does appear,
And she hired with a captain
To serve him for a year.
- [The captain's wife she being on board,
She seemed in great joy
To think the captain had engaged
Such a handsome cabin boy,
That now and then she'd slip him a kiss,
And she'd have liked to toy,
But 'twas the captain found out the secret
Of the handsome cabin boy.] verse missed by KB
- Her cheeks they were like roses
And her hair rolled in a curl.
The sailors often smiled and said
He looked just like a girl.
But eating of the captain's biscuit
Her colour did destroy,
And the waist did swell of pretty Nell,
The handsome cabin boy.
'Twas in the bay of Biscay
Our gallant ship did plow.
One night among the sailors
Was a fearful flurry and row.
They tumbled from their hammocks
For their sleep it did destroy,
And they sworn about the groaning
Of the handsome cabin boy.
"Oh doctor, dear, oh doctor,"
The cabin boy did cry.
"My time has come, I am undone,
And I will surely die."
The doctor come a-runnin'
And a-smilin' at the fun.
To think a sailor lad should have
A daughter or a son.
The sailors when they saw the joke
They all did stand and stare.
The child belonged to none of them,
They solemnly did swear.
The captain's wife, she says to him,
"My dear, I wish you joy,
For 'tis either you or me's betrayed
The handsome cabin boy!"
- [Now sailors, take your tot of rum
And drink success to trade,
And likewise to the cabin boy
That was neither man nor maid.
Here's hoping the wars don't rise again
Our sailors to destroy,
And here's hoping for a jolly lot more
Like the handsome cabin boy.] verse missed by KB
Heads We're Dancing [The Sensual World]
- 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.

Hello Earth [Hounds Of Love/The Ninth Wave]
- "Columbia now at nine times the speed of sound."
"Roger that, Dan, I've got a solid TACAN locked on,
- uh, TACAN two and three."
- "The, uh, tracking data, map data and pre-planned
- trajectory are all one line on the block"
- "Show your block decode..."
- 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.
Just look at it go!
Just look at it go!
[A Georgian traditional song "Tsiv Tskaro" 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!
Murder of calm.
Why did I go?
Why did I go?
[A Georgian traditional song "Tsiv Tskaro" is sung several times]
- "Tiefer, tiefer, irgendwo in der Tiefe gibt es ein Licht."
[English: Deeper,deeper somewhere in the deep there is a light]

Home For Christmas [B-side of Rubberband Girl]
- You know that I'll be waiting
To hear your footsteps saying
That you'll be coming home for Christmas.
Please say you won't forget me
That every moment's empty
But only 'til you're coming home for Christmas.
If I only had wings
Then I would fly to you
Through all the snowy weather
We'd be together ---
No-one makes me feel the way you do.
You know that I'll be waiting
To hear your footsteps saying
That you'll be coming home,
Home for Christmas.
Houdini [The Dreaming]
- I wait at the table,
And hold hands with weeping strangers,
Wait for you
To join the group.
The tambourine jingle-jangles.
The medium roams and rambles.
Not taken in,
I break the circle.
I want this man
To go away now.
- With a kiss
I'd pass the key
And feel your tongue
Teasing and receiving.
With your spit
Still on my lip
You hit the water.
- Him and I in the room
To prove you are with us too.
He's using code that only you and I know.
This is no trick of his.
This is your magic.
I'd catch the cues,
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.
Hounds Of Love [Hounds Of Love]
- "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...
- (do do do do do dooo)
- Now hounds of love are hunting.
- (oh oh oh oh oh oh-ooh)
- I've always been a coward,
- (oh oh oh oh oh oh-ooh)

Oh here I go!
It's coming for me through the trees.
Oh help me, someone!
Help me, please!
And 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 beat 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,
- (do do do do do dooo)
- Among your hounds of love,
- (oh oh oh oh oh oh-ooh)
- And feel your arms surround me.
- (oh oh oh oh oh oh-ooh)
- I've always been a coward.
- (oh oh oh oh oh oh-ooh)

Oh, here I go!

Hold me down!
It's coming for me through the trees.

Help me, please!
And take my shoes off
And throw them in the lake,
And I'll be two steps on the water.

How To Be Invisible [Aerial]
- I found a book on how to be invisible
Take a pinch of keyhole
And fold yourself up
You cut along the 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 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 an autumn leaf falling?
Or is that you, walking home?
Is that the wind from the desert song?
Is that an 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 the dotted lines
And think inside out
You jump 'round three times
You jump into the mirror
And you're invisible

In Search Of Peter Pan [Lionheart]
- 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.
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 I am a man
I will be an astronaut,
And find Peter Pan.

Straight on 'til morning.
Second star on the right,
Straight on 'til morning.
- Dennis loves to look
In the mirror.
He tells me that he is beautiful.
So I look too, and what do I see?
My eyes are full,
But my face is empty.
He's got a photo
Of his hero.
He keeps it under his pillow.
But I've got a pin-up
From a newspaper
Of Peter Pan.
I found it in a locket.
- (I 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.

In The Warm Room [Lionheart]
- 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.

Oh, so you'd better barricade the way out.
She'll tell you she's true.
She'll tell you she loves you.
She's waiting in that warm room.
- In the warm room
She prepares to go to bed.
She'll let you watch her undress,
Go places where
Your fingers long to linger.
In the warm room

Her thighs are soft as marshmallows.
Say hello
To the soft musk of her hollows.

Oh, so you'd better barricade the way out.
She'll tell you she's true.
She'll tell you she loves you.

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.

It Hurts Me [Demo]
- Slipping past the chimney-pots,
Down among the ashes, away from old times
Why must I self-indulge in memories?
I should be celebrating to a moving melody,
- But it hurts me, it hurts me,
Honey, honey, it hurts me.
And I'm feeling like a waltz,
Growing old, old, old, old, old.
- I was fiery but you put me out.
I was always one for loving and leaving.
I like to think I was immune to romance.
I should be laughing at some good old comedy.
- Oh, but it hurts me, it hurts me.
Honey, honey, it hurts me.
And I'm feeling like a waltz.
- If you laughed at me, I'd laugh too.
Waltz, don't you know that I'd be really breaking.
L'amour marche avec un etranger.
I shouldn't care, you're not my darling anymore,
- But it hurts me, it hurts me,
Honey, honey, honey, honey.
And I'm feeling like a waltz,
Growing old, old, old, old, old.
James And The Cold Gun [The Kick Inside]

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's still a-waiting in that big brass bed.
The boys from your gang are knocking whisky back,
'Til 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 away from reality.
It won't be funny when they rat-a-tat-tat you down.

- Can't you see where memories are kept bright?
Tripping on the water like a laughing girl.
Time in her eyes is spawning past light,
One when 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 and the holy land of water
And all that's to come runs in
With the thrust on the strand."
Joanni [Aerial]
- All the banners stop waving
And the flags stop flying
And the silence comes over
Thousands of soldiers
Thousands of soldiers
Who is that girl?
Do I know her face?
Who is that girl?
Joanni, Joanni wears a golden cross
And she looks so beautiful in her armour
Joanni, Joanni blows a kiss to God
And she never wears a ring on her finger
All the cannon are firing
And the swords are clashing
And the horses are charging
And the flags are flying
And the battle is raging
And the bells, the bells are ringing
Who is that girl?
Do I know her face?
Who is that girl?
Joanni, Joanni wears a golden cross
And she looks so beautiful in her armour
Joanni, Joanni blows a kiss to God
And she never wears a ring on her finger
Joanni, Joanni, Joanni, Joanni blows a kiss to God
And she just looks beautiful in her armour
Beautiful in her armour
- Elle parle à Dieu {She talks to God}
Et aux anges {And to angels}
Dans ses prières {In her prayers}
Venez Sainte-Catherine {Come Saint Catherine}
Venez Sainte Marguerite {Come Saint Marguerite}
Elle a besoin de vous deux {She needs you both}
Les voix, les voix du feu {The voices, the voices of fire}
Chante avec moi petite soeur {Sing with me little sister}
Ah, les voix, les voix {Ah, the voices, the voices}
Kashka From Baghdad [Lionheart]
- Kashka from Baghdad
Lives in sin, they say,
With another man,
But no one knows who.
Old friends never call there.
Some wonder if life's
Inside at all
If there's life inside at all.
- But we know the lady who rents the room.
She catches them calling a la lune.
- 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.
- 'Cause when all the alley-cats come out,
I can hear music from Kashka's house.
- At night
They're seen
Laughing,
Loving.
They know
The way
To be
Happy.
- "Watching every night.
Don't you know they're seen?
Won't you let me laugh?
Let me in your love.
"Watching every night.
Don't you know they're seen?
Won't you let me laugh?
Let me in your love.
"Watching every night.
Don't you know they're seen?
Won't you let me laugh?
Let me in your love.
"Watching every night.
Don't you know they're seen?
Won't you let me laugh?"
Kashka From Baghdad [Demo]
- Kashka from Baghdad
Lives in sin, they say,
With another man,
But no one knows who.
Dark lights at night.
No one thinks there's life inside at all,
That there's life inside at all.
- Except for the ladies who clean the house,
Except for the men who put the garbage out.
- At night
They're seen
Laughing,
Dancing.
They know
The way
To be
Happy.
- Never go for walks.
Maybe it's because
The moon's not bright enough.
They're blind in love, you see.
I watch their shadows,
Tall and slim,
In the window opposite.
I long to be with them.
- What would I do if I were seen?
What would I do if they knew my feelings?
- At night
They're seen
Laughing,
Loving.
They know
The way
To be
Happy.

The Kick Inside [The Kick Inside]
- 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.

Welling eyes from identifying with Lizie Wan's story.
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 for you.
I'm giving it all in a moment or two.

The King Is Dead [Go West's album "Dancing On The Couch" (backing vocals)]
- The king is dead
No doubt about it
We came a long way
Just to say goodbye
And in the end
It was some old swansong
The king is dead
You'd never know it
But we got pictures
Of a different man
He's flesh and blood
No-one knows all the answers
Some days we just do the best we can
You changed my mind in a minute
It breaks my heart to admit it
Don't make me say...
The king is dead
The show is over
We came a long way
Just to turn around
Lesson learned
No-one knows all the answers
Some days we just do the best we can
You changed my mind in a minute
It breaks my heart to admit it
Don't make me say...
You let me in behind the lies
But you're no use to me lifesize
No-one's to blame
Some days we just do the best we can
King Of The Mountain [Aerial]
- 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 shes having your baby
And theres a rumour that youre on ice
And you will rise again someday
And that theres a photograph
Where youre 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
Kite [The Kick Inside]
- (Come up and be kite)
- Beelzebub is aching in my belly-o.
My feet are heavy and I'm rooted in my wellios.
- (oh oh oh)
- 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 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, 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 kite)
(Come up and be kite)

L'Amour Looks Something Like You [The Kick Inside]
- 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
