1
You went looking for nur, dear,
2
Down by the sea
3
You found some Iittle silver fish
4
But you didn't find me
5
I was hiding, dear, hiding all way
6
I was hiding, dear, hiding all way
7
You went to the museum
8
You climbed a spiral stair
9
You searched for me all among
10
The knowledgeable air
11
I was hidden, babe, hiding all away
12
I was hidden, dear, hiding all away
13
You entered the cathedral
14
When you heard the solemn knell
15
I was not sitting with the gargoyles
16
I was not swinging from the hell
17
I was hiding, dear, I was hiding all away
18
I was hiding, dear, I was hiding all away
19
You asked an electrician
20
If he'd seen me round his place
21
He touched you with his fingers
22
Sent sparks zapping out your face
23
I was hidden, dear, hiding all away
24
I was not there, dear, hiding all away
25
You went and asked your doctor
26
To get some advice
27
He shot you full of Pethidine
28
And then he billed you twice
29
But I was hiding, dear, hiding all away
30
But I was hiding, dear, hiding all away
31
You approached a high court judge
32
You thought he'd be on the level
33
He wrapped a rag around your face
34
And beat you with his gavel
35
I was hiding, habe, hiding all away
36
I was hidden, dem, hiding all away
37
You asked at the local constabulary
38
They said, he's up to his same old tricks
39
They leered at you with their baby blues
40
And rubbed jelly on their sticks
41
I had to get out of there, babe, hiding all away
42
I had to get out of there, dear, hiding all away
43
You searched through all my poets
44
From Sappho through to Auden
45
I saw the book fall from your hands
46
As you slowly died of boredom
47
I had been there, dear,
48
but I was not there anymore
49
I had been there, now I'm hiding all way
50
You walked into the ball of fame
51
And approached my imitators
52
Some were stuffing their faces with caviar
53
Some were eating cold potatoes
54
I was hiding, dear, hiding all away
55
I was hiding, dear, hiding all away
56
You asked a famous cook if he'd seen me
57
He opened his oven wide
58
He basted you with butter, babe
59
And made you crawl inside
60
I was not in there, dear, hiding all away
61
I was not in there, dear, hiding all away
62
You asked the butcher
63
Who lifted up his cleaver
64
Stuck his fist up your dress
65
Said he must've been mad to leave you
66
But I had to get away, dear, hiding all away
67
I had to get away, dear, I was hidden all away
68
Some of us we hide away
69
Some of us we don't
70
Some will live to love another day
71
And some of us won't
72
But we all know there is a law
73
And that law, it is love
74
And we all know there's a war coming
75
Coming from above
76
There is a war coming
77
There is a war coming
