"MOVING

Moving stranger
Does it really matter
As long as you're not afraid to feel?
Touch me, hold me,
How my open arms ache
Try to fall for me.

How I'm moved
How you move me
With your beauty's potency
You give me life
Please don't let me go
You crush the lily in my soul

Moving liquid
Yes you are just as water
You flow around all that comes in your way
Don't think it over
It always takes you over
And sets your spirit dancing

How I'm moved
How you move me
With your beauty's potency
You give me life
Please don't let me go
You give me life
Please don't let me go
Ah you give me life
Please don't let me go
You crush the lily in my soul
("La-la-la-la la lily")
("Soul")
("La-la-la-la la lily")
("Soul")
("La-la-la-la la lily")

"THE SAXOPHONE SONG"

You'll find me in a Berlin bar
In a corner brooding
You know that I go very quiet
When I'm listening to you

There's something special indeed
There's something special indeed
In all the places where I've seen you shine boy
There's something very real in how I feel honey

It's in me
It's in me
And you know it's for real
Tuning in on your saxophone
Doo-bee-doo-bee-doo...

The candle burning over your shoulder is throwing
Shadows from your saxophone a surly lady in tremor
The stars that climb from her bowels
Those stars make towers on vowels

You'll never see that you had all of me
You'll never see the poetry you've stirred in me
Of all the stars I've seen that shine so brightly
I've never known or felt in myself so rightly

It's in me
It's in me
And you know it's for real
Tuning in on your saxophone
Doo-bee-doo-bee-doo...

"STRANGE PHENOMENA

Soon it will be the phase of the moon
When people tune in
Every girl knows about the punctual blues
But who's to know the power behind our moves?

A day of coincidence with the radio
And a word that won't go away
We know what they're all going to say
"G" arrives--"Funny had a feeling he was on his way!"

We raise our hats to the strange phenomena
Soul-birds of a feather flock together
We raise our hats to the hand a-moulding us
Sure 'nuff he has the answer
He has the answer
He has the answer be-duh-be-duh-be-duh-be-duh...
"Om mani padme
Om mani padme
Om mani padme hum"

You pick up a paper You read a name
You go out, it turns up again and again,
You bump into a friend you haven't seen for a long time
Then into another you only thought about last night

You hear your sister calling for you
But you don't know where from
You know there's something wrong
But you don't want to believe in a premonition

We raise our hats to the strange phenomena
Soul-birds of a feather flock together
We raise our hats to the hand a-moulding us
Sure 'nuff he has the answer
He has the answer
He has the answer be-duh-be-duh-be-duh-be-duh...
"Om mani padme
Om mani padme
Om mani padme hum"

"Om mani padme hum
Om mani padme hum
Om mani padme hum
Om mani padme hum..."

"KITE"

("Come up and be a kite!")

Beelzebub is aching in my belly-o
My feet are heavy and I'm rooted in my wellios
And I want to get away and go
From all these 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 with a big eyeball
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 a 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 safe 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 back on the ground
But I don't know how to get 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 under the moon
Over the lights under the moon
Over the moon over the moon!"

Come up and be a kite!
Come up and be a kite!

"THE MAN WITH THE CHILD IN HIS EYES"

("He's here! He's here!
He's here! He's here!")*

I hear him before I go to sleep
And focus on the day that's been
I realise he's there
When I turn the light off and turn over

Nobody knows about my man
They think he's lost on some horizon
And suddenly I find myself
Listening to a man I've never known before

Telling me about the sea
All his love 'til eternity

Ooh he's here again
The man with the child in his eyes
Ooh he's here again
The man with the child in his eyes

He's very understanding
And he's so aware of all my situations
And when I stay up late
He's always waiting but I feel him hesitate

Oh I'm so worried about my love
They say: "No no it won't last forever"
And here I am again my girl
Wondering what on Earth I'm doing here

Maybe he doesn't love me
I just took a trip on my love for him

Ooh he's here again
The man with the child in his eyes
Ooh he's here again
The man with the child in his eyes

* = This is only heard on the video version and the 7" single.

"WUTHERING HEIGHTS"

Out on the wiley windy moors
We'd roll and fall in green
You had a temper like my jealousy
Too hot too greedy
How could you leave me
When I needed to possess you?
I hated you, I loved you too

Bad dreams in the night
They told me I was going to lose the fight
Leave behind my wuthering wuthering
Wuthering Heights

"Heathcliff it's me, Cathy
Come home, I'm so cold
Let me in-a-your window" (2)

Ooh it gets dark, it gets lonely
On the other side from you
I pine a lot, I find the lot
Falls through without you
I'm coming back love
Cruel Heathcliff my one dream
My only master

Too long I roam in the night
I'm coming back to his side to put it right
I'm coming home to wuthering wuthering
Wuthering Heights

"Heathcliff it's me, Cathy
Come home, I'm so cold
Let me in-a-your window" (2)

Ooh! Let me have it
Let me grab your soul away
Ooh! Let me have it
Let me grab your soul away
You know it's me, Cathy

"Heathcliff it's me, Cathy
Come home, I'm so cold
Let me in-a-your window" (2)

Heathcliff it's me, Cathy
Come home, I'm so cold

"JAMES AND THE COLD GUN"

James come on home
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

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?

"FEEL IT"

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
So 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?
Just see what you're doing to me

"OH TO BE IN LOVE"

As the light hits you
As you shift along the floor
I find it hard to place my face
How did I come to be here anyway?
It's terribly vague what's gone before

I could have been anyone
You could have been anyone's dream
Why did you have to choose our moment?
Why did you have to make me feel that?
Why did you make it so unreal?

Oh! To be in love
And never get out again
Oh! To be in love
And never get out again
Oh! To be in love
And never get out again

Oh! To be in love
And never get out again
Oh! To be in love
And never get out again
Oh! To be in love
And never get out again

All the colours look brighter now
Everything they say seems to sound new
Slipping into tomorrow too quick
Yesterday always too good to forget
Stop the swing of the pendulum! Let us through!

Oh! To be in love
And never get out again
Oh! To be in love
And never get out again
Oh! To be in love
And never get out again

"L' AMOUR LOOKS SOMETHING LIKE YOU"

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 look like an angel
Sleeping it off at a station
Were you only passing through?

I'm dying for you just to touch me
And feel all the energy rushing right up-a-me
L'amour looks something like you

The thought of you sends me shivery
I'm dressed in lace sailing down a black reverie
My heart is thrown
To the pebbles and the boatmen
All the time I find I'm living in that evening
With that feeling of sticky love inside

I'm hanging on the Old Goose Moon
You look like an angel
Sleeping it off at a station
Were you only passing through?

I'm dying for you just to touch me
And feel all the energy rushing right up-a-me
L'amour looks something like you
L'amour looks something like you
L'amour looks something like you

"THEM HEAVY PEOPLE"

Rolling the ball rolling the ball rolling the ball to me
Rolling the ball rolling the ball rolling the ball to me

They arrived at an inconvenient time
I was hiding in a room in my mind
They made me look at myself I saw it well
I'd shut the people out of my life

So now I take the opportunities
Wonderful teachers ready to teach me
I must work on my mind For now I realise
Everyone of us has a heaven inside

Them heavy people hit me in a soft spot
Them heavy people help me
Them heavy people hit me in a soft spot
Rolling the ball rolling the ball rolling the ball to me
Rolling the ball rolling the ball rolling the ball to me

They open doorways that I thought were shut for good
They read me Gurdjieff and Jesu
They build up my body break me emotionally
It's nearly killing me but what a lovely feeling!

I love the whirling of the dervishes
I love the beauty of rare innocence
You don't need no crystal ball
Don't fall for a magic wand
We humans got it all we perform the miracles

Them heavy people hit me in a soft spot
Them heavy people help me
Them heavy people hit me in a soft spot
Rolling the ball rolling the ball rolling the ball to me
Rolling the ball rolling the ball rolling the ball to me
Rolling the ball rolling the ball...

"ROOM FOR THE LIFE"

Hey there you lady in tears
Do you think that they care if they're real woman?
They just take it as part of the deal
Lost in your men and the games you play
Trying to prove that you're better woman
But you needn't get heavy with them
Like it or not we were built tough
Because we're woman

No we never die for long
While we've got that little life
To live for where it's hid inside
No we never die for long
Oh! Woman two in one

There's room for a life in your womb woman
Inside of you can be two woman
There's room for a life in your womb woman
Mama woman aha!

Night after night in the quiet house
Plaiting her hair by the fire woman
With no lover to free her desire
How long do you think she can stick it out?
How long do you think before she'll go out woman?
Hey! Get up on your feet and go get it now
Like it or not we keep bouncing back
Because we're woman

No we never die for long
While we've got that little life
To live for where it's hid inside
No we never die for long
Oh! Woman two in one

There's room for a life in your womb woman
Inside of you can be two woman
There's room for a life in your womb woman
Mama woman aha!

A-mama-woma-mama-woman-aha!
A-mama-woma-mama-woman-aha!
Oh mama-woman two-in-a-one aha!
Oh two in one aha!
Oh woman! Woman! Woman! Woman!
There's room for a life in your womb!
There's room for a life in your womb!
Two in one aha!
Two in one! Two in one! Two in one!
Room for a life in your womb

"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

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...
