Lovers leap
2
Walking across the sitting-room, I turn the television off.
3
Sitting beside you, I look into your eyes.
4
As the sound of motor cars fades in the night time,
5
I swear I saw your face change, it didn't seem quite right.
6
... And it's hello babe with your guardian eyes so blue
7
Hey my baby don't you know our love is true.
8
Coming closer with our eyes, a distance falls around our bodies.
9
Out in the garden, the moon seems very bright,
10
Six saintly shrouded men move across the lawn slowly.
11
The seventh walks in front with a cross held high in hand.
12
... And it's hey babe your suppers waiting for you.
13
Hey my baby, don't you know our love is true.
14
I've been so far from here,
15
Far from your warm arms.
16
Its good to feel you again,
17
Its been a long long time. Hasn't it?
18
The guaranteed eternal sanctuary man
19
I know a farmer who looks after the farm.
20
With water clear, he cares for all his harvest.
21
I know a fireman who looks after the fire.
22
You, can't you see he's fooled you all.
23
Yes, he's here again, can't you see he's fooled you all.
24
Share his peace,
25
Sign the lease.
26
Hes a supersonic scientist,
27
Hes the guaranteed eternal sanctuary man.
28
Look, look into my mouth he cries,
29
And all the children lost down many paths,
30
I bet my life you'll walk inside
31
Hand in hand,
32
Gland in gland
33
With a spoonful of miracle,
34
Hes the guaranteed eternal sanctuary.
35
We will rock you, rock you little snake,
36
We will keep you snug and warm.
37
Ikhnaton and itsacon and their band of merry men
38
Wearing feelings on our faces while our faces took a rest,
39
We walked across the fields to see the children of the west,
40
But we saw a host of dark skinned warriors
41
Standing still below the ground,
42
Waiting for battle.
43
The fights begun, they've been released.
44
Killing foe for peace... Bang, bang, bang. Bang, bang, bang...
45
And they're giving me a wonderful potion,
46
Cos I cannot contain my emotion.
47
And even though I'm feeling good,
48
Something tells me I'd better activate my prayer capsule.
49
Todays a day to celebrate, the foe have met their fate.
50
The order for rejoicing and dancing has come from our warlord.
51
How dare I be so beautiful?
52
Wandering through the chaos the battle has left,
53
We climb up a mountain of human flesh,
54
To a plateau of green grass, and green trees full of life.
55
A young figure sits still by a pool,
56
Hes been stamped human bacon by some butchery tool.
57
(he is you)
58
Social security took care of this lad.
59
We watch in reverence, as narcissus is turned to a flower.
60
A flower?
61
Willow farm
62
If you go down to willow farm,
63
To look for butterflies, flutterbyes, gutterflies
64
Open your eyes, it's full of surprise, everyone lies,
65
Like the fox on the rocks,
66
And the musical box.
67
Oh, there's mum & dad, and good and bad,
68
And everyones happy to be here.
69
There's winston churchill dressed in drag,
70
He used to be a british flag, plastic bag, what a drag.
71
The frog was a prince, the prince was a brick, the brick was an egg,
72
The egg was a bird.
73
(fly away you sweet little thing, they're hard on your tail)
74
Hadnt you heard?
75
(they're going to change you into a human being!)
76
Yes, were happy as fish and gorgeous as geese,
77
And wonderfully clean in the morning.
78
Weve got everything, were growing everything,
79
Weve got some in
80
Weve got some out
81
Weve got some wild things floating about
82
Everyone, were changing everyone,
83
You name them all,
84
Weve had them here,
85
And the real stars are still to appear.
86
All change!
87
Feel your body melt;
88
Mum to mud to mad to dad
89
Dad diddley office, dad diddley office,
90
Youre all full of ball.
91
Dad to dam to dum to mum
92
Mum diddley washing, mum diddley washing,
93
Youre all full of ball.
94
Let me hear you lies, were living this up to the eyes.
95
Ooee-ooee-ooee-oowaa
96
Momma I want you now.
97
And as you listen to my voice
98
To look for hidden doors, tidy floors, more applause.
99
Youve been here all the time,
100
Like it or not, like what you got,
101
Youre under the soil (the soil, the soil),
102
Yes, deep in the soil (the soil, the soil, the soil, the soil!).
103
So well end with a whistle and end with a bang
104
And all of us fit in our places.
105
Apocalypse in 9/8 (co-starring the delicious talents of gabble ratchet)
106
With the guards of magog, swarming around,
107
The pied piper takes his children underground.
108
Dragons coming out of the sea,
109
Shimmering silver head of wisdom looking at me.
110
He brings down the fire from the skies,
111
You can tell he's doing well by the look in human eyes.
112
Better not compromise.
113
It wont be easy.
114
666 is no longer alone,
115
Hes getting out the marrow in your back bone,
116
And the seven trumpets blowing sweet rock and roll,
117
Gonna blow right down inside your soul.
118
Pythagoras with the looking glass reflects the full moon,
119
In blood, he's writing the lyrics of a brand new tune.
120
And it's hey babe, with your guardian eyes so blue,
121
Hey my baby, don't you know our love is true,
122
I've been so far from here,
123
Far from your loving arms,
124
Now I'm back again, and babe it's gonna work out fine.
125
As sure as eggs is eggs (aching mens feet)
126
Can't you feel our souls ignite
127
Shedding ever changing colours, in the darkness of the fading night,
128
Like the river joins the ocean, as the germ in a seed grows
129
We have finally been freed to get back home.
130
There's an angel standing in the sun, and he's crying with a loud voice,
131
This is the supper of the mighty one,
132
Lord of lords,
133
King of kings,
134
Has returned to lead his children home,
135
To take them to the new jerusalem.
