1
You went looking for me, dear
2
Down by the sea
3
You found some Iittle silver fish
4
But you didn't find me
5
I was hidin', dear, hidin' all away
6
I was hidin', dear, I was hidin' all away
7
You went to the museum
8
And you climbed a spiral stair
9
You searched for me all among
10
With a knowledgeable air
11
I was hidden, babe, I was hidin' all away
12
I was hidden, dear, I was hidin' 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 swingin' from the bell
17
I was hidin', dear, I was hidin' all away
18
I was hidin', dear, I was hidin' all away
19
Alright there
20
You asked an electrician
21
If he'd seen me 'round his place
22
He touched you with his fingers
23
Sent sparks zappin' out your face
24
I was hidden, dear, I was hidin' all away
25
I was not there, dear, I was hidin' all away
26
Well, you went and asked the doctor
27
To get some advice
28
Well, he shot you full of Pethidine
29
And then he went and billed you twice
30
But I was hidin', dear, hidin' all away
31
I was hidin', dear, hidin' all away
32
You approached a High Court judge
33
You thought he'd be on the level
34
Well, he wrapped a rag around your face
35
And he beat you with his gavel
36
I was hidin', baby, I was hidin' all away
37
I was even hidden, dear, I was hidin' all away
38
You looked at the local constabulary
39
They said, he's up to his same old tricks
40
They leered at you with their baby blues
41
And rubbed jelly on their sticks
42
I had to get out of there, babe, I was hidin' all away
43
You better get out of there, dear, I was hiding all away
44
Alright there, alright there
45
You searched through all my poets
46
From Sappho through to Auden
47
I saw the book fall from your hands
48
As you slowly died of boredom
49
I had been there, dear, and I was not there anymore
50
I had been there, dear, now I'm hiding all away
51
You walked into the Hall of Fame
52
And approached my imitators
53
Some were stuffin' their faces with caviar
54
Some were eatin' cold potatoes
55
Well I was hidin', dear, I was hiding all away
56
I was hidin', dear, I was hiding all away
57
Well, you asked a famous cook if he'd seen me
58
He opened his oven wide
59
Well, he basted you with butter, babe
60
And he made you crawl inside
61
But I was not in there, dear, I was hiding all away
62
I was not in there, dear, I was hiding all away
63
You asked the butcher
64
Who lifted up his cleaver
65
Stuck his fist up your dress
66
Said he must've been a maid to leave you
67
But I had to get away, dear, I was hiding all away
68
I had to get away, dear, I was hidden all away
69
Alright there
70
Some of us, we hide away
71
Some of us, we don't
72
Some will live to love another day
73
And some of us won't
74
But we all know there is a law
75
And that law, it is love
76
And we all know there is a war comin'
77
Comin' from above
78
There is a war comin'
79
There is a war comin'
80
There is a war comin'
81
