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"
"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 (2)
They took the game right out of it (2)
When, when...
When I am a man
I will be an astronaut
And find Peter Pan
"Second star
on the right
Straight on 'til morning" (3)
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
("They found it in a locket")
I hide it in my pocket
They took the game right out of it (2)
When, when...
When I am a man
I will be an astronaut
And find Peter Pan
"Second star
on the right,
Straight on 'til morning" (3)
"When you
wish upon a star
Makes no difference who you are
When you wish upon a star
Your dreams come true"
("Emily...")
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
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!
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!
Wow! Wow! Wow! Wow! Wow! Unbelievable!
We're all alone on
the stage tonight
We're all alone
On the stage
Tonight
"DON'T PUSH YOUR FOOT ON THE HEARTBRAKE"
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"
Skidding 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 drive to slowly")
Don't put your blues where your shoes should be.
Don't put your foot on the heartbrake.
("She's losing") (7)
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 care 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"
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 drive to slowly")
Don't put your blues where your shoes should be
Don't put your foot on the heartbrake" (2)
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 Bridge in rain again
Oh! England, 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
Oh England, my Lionheart
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 apple-blossom
Give me one wish, and I'd be wassailing
In the orchard, my English rose
Or with my shepherd, who'll bring me home
Oh England, my
Lionheart
Oh England, my Lionheart
Oh England, my Lionheart
Oh England, my Lionheart
Oh England, my Lionheart
I don't want to go
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.
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,
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
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,
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'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 a la lune.
At night
("Watching every night")
They're seen
("Don't you know they're seen?")
Laughing,
("Won't you let me laugh?")
Loving.
("Let me in your love")
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
("Watching every night")
They're seen
("Don't you know they're seen?")
Laughing,
("Won't you let me laugh?")
Loving.
("Let me in your love")
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.") (3)
("Watching
every night.
Don't you know they're seen?
Won't you let me laugh?")
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.
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 aresenic--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.

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 aresenic--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 (2)
("Es schmeckt wunderbahr!"
"It tastes wonderful!")
With your hemlock on the rocks.
("Dann sterb ich wohl..."
"Then I will die...")
With your hemlock on the rocks (4)
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.
But all I want to do is forget
You, friend.
Hammer Horror,
Hammer Horror,
Won't leave it 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 it 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?
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.
Hammer Horror,
Hammer Horror,
Won't leave it 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?
