"The Sensual World"

Mmh, yes,

Then I'd taken the kiss of seedcake back from his mouth

Going deep South, go down, mmh, yes,

Took six big wheels and rolled our bodies

Off of Howth Head and into the flesh, mmh, yes,

He said was a flower of the mountain, yes,

But now I've a powers o'er a woman's body-yes.

Stepping out of the page into the sensual world.

Stepping out...

To where the water and the heart caress

And the down of a peach says mmh, yes.

Do I look for a millionaires

Like a Machiavellian girl world?

When I could wear a sunset, mmh, yes,

And how we'd wished to live in the sensual world.

You don't need words-just one kiss, then another.

Stepping out of the page into the sensual world.

Stepping out, off the page into the sensual world.

And then our arrows of desire rewrite the speech, mmh, yes,

And then he whispered would I, mmh, yes,

Be safe, mmh, yes, from mountain flowers?

And at first with the charm around him, mmh, yes.

He loosened it so if it slipped between my breasts

He'd rescue it, mmh, yes,

And his spark took life in my hand and, mmh, yes,

I said, mmh, yes,

Mmh, yes.

"LOVE AND ANGER"

It lay buried here, it lay deep inside me.

It's so deep I don't think that I can

Speak about it.

I could take me all of my life

But it would only take a moment to

Tell you what I'm feeling

But I don't know if I'm ready yet.

You come walking into this room

Like you're walking into my arms,

What would I do without you?

Take away the love and the anger

And a little piece of hope holding us together

Looking for a moment that'll never happen

Living in the gap between past and future

Take away the stone and the timber

And a little piece of rope won't hold it together.

If you can't tell your sister

If you can't tell a priest

'Coz it's so deep you don't think that you can

Speak about it to anyone

Can you tell it to your heart?

Can you find it in your heart

To let go of these feelings

Like a bell to a Southerly wind

We could be like two strings beating,

Speaking in sympathy...

What would we do without you?

Two strings speak in sympathy.

Take away the love and the anger

And a little piece of hope holding us together

Looking for a moment that'll never happen

Living in gap between past and future

Take away the stone and the timber

And a little piece of rope won't hold it together

We're building a house of the future together

(What would we do without you?)

Well, if it's so deep you don't think that you

Can speak about it

Just remember to reach out and touch the past and the future.

Well, if it's so deep you don't think you can speak about it

Don't ever think that you can't change the past and the future.

You might not, no think so now

But just you wait and see-someone will come to help you.

"THE FOG"

You see, I'm all grown-up now

He said

"Just put your feet down child

'Coz you're all grown-up now."

Just like a photograph I pick you up

Just like a station on the radio

I pick you up

Just like a face in the crowd

I pick you up

Just like a feeling that you're sending out

I pick it up

But I can't let you go

If let you go

You slip into the fog

This love was big enough for the both of us,

This love of yours,

Was big enough to be frightened of

It's deep and dark like the water was

The day I learned to swim.

He said "Just put your feet down child

Just put your feet down child

The water is only waist high

I'll let go of you gently

Then you can swim to me."

Is this love big enough to watch over me

Big enough to let go of me?

Whitout hurting me

Like the day I learned to swim.

"'Coz you're all grown-up now

Just put your feet down child

The water is only waist high

I'll let go of you gently

Then you can swim to me."

"REACHING OUT"

See how the child reaches out instinctively

To feel how fire will feel.

See how the man reaches out instinctively

For what he cannot have.

The pull and the push of it all.

Reaching out for the hand

Reaching out for the hand that smacked

Reaching out for that hand to hold.

Reaching out for the Star

Reaching out for the Star that explodes

Reaching out for Mama.

See how the flower leans instinctively toward the light

See how the heart reaches out instinctively

For no reason but to touch.

The pull and the push of it all.

Reaching out for the hand

Reaching out for the hand that smacked

Reaching out for that hand to hold.

Reaching out for the Star

Reaching out for the Star that explodes

Reaching out for Mama.

(Can't we see...)

Reaching out for Mama.

"HEAD'S WE'RE DANCING"

You talked me into the game of chance,

It was '39 before the music started

When you walked up to me and you said

"Hey, heads we dance."

Well I, I didn't know who you were

Until I saw the morning paper.

There was a picture of you

A picture of you 'cross the front page

It looked just like you, just like you in every way.

But it couldn't be true.

It couldn't be true

You stepped out of a stranger.

They say that the Devil is a charming man

And just like you I bet he can dance

And he's coming up behind in his long

Tailed black coat dance

All tails in the air

But the penny landed with its head dancing

A picture of you, a picture of you in uniform

Standing with your head held high

Hot down to the floor

But it couldn't be you

It couldn't be you

It's a picture of Hitler.

He go do-do-do-do-do

Do you want to dance?

Well I, I couldn't see what was to be

So I just stood there laughing.

A picture of you, a picture of you in uniform

Standing with your head held high

Hot down to the floor

But it couldn't be you

It couldn't be you

It's a picture of Hitler.

He go mmh-mmh-mmh-mmh-mmh

Heads we're dancing.

"DEEPER UNDERSTANDING"

As the people here grow colder

I turn to my computer

And spend my evenings with it

Like a friend.

I was loading a new programme

I had ordered from a magazine

"Are you lonely, are you lost?

This voice console is a must"

I press Execute.

Hello, I know that you've been feeling tired,

I bring you love and deeper understanding.

Hello, I know that you're unhappy,

I bring you love and deeper understanding.

Well I've never felt such pleasure

Nothing else seemed to matter

I neglected my bodily needs

I did not eat, I did not sleep

The intensity increasing

'Till my family found me and intervened

But I was lonely, I was lost

Without my little black box

I pick up the phone and go Execute

Hello, I know that you've been feeling tired,

I bring you love and deeper understanding.

Hello, I know that you're unhappy,

I bring you love and deeper understanding.

I turn to my computer like a friend

I need deeper understanding.

Give me deeper understanding.

"BETWEEN A MAN AND A WOMAN"

With her hand in his hand

They were both happy again.

You started taking sides

They started arguing.

He said it was her fault

She said it wasn't at all

But the truth lies somewhere in the middle.

Where angels fear to tread you go rushing in

Well I had to tell you then

And now I'm telling you again

Stay out of this

You must not interfere

Don't you see this is

Between a men and a woman?

Every day and night I pray,

Pray that you will stay away forever.

It's so hard for love to stay together

With the modern Western pressures

I don't want to say it

But I had to tell you then

And now I'm telling you again

Stay out of this.

Oh, I know you mean to help me,

And I know you've good intentions

But stay out of this,

This isn't your problem,

Do not interfere-you are not needed here

Let the pendulum swing

Between a men and a woman.

Don't you see you're in the way-between a men and a woman.

Every day and night I pray, let the pendulum swing

Between a men and a woman.

"NEVER BE MINE"

I look at you and see

My life that might have been

Your face just ghostly in the smoke.

They're setting fire to the cornfields

As you're taking me home.

The smell of burning fields

Will now mean you and here.

This is where I want to be

This is what I need

This is where I want to be

His is what I need

This is where I want to be

But I know that this will never be mine.

Ooh, the thrill and the hurting

The thrill and the hurting

I know that this will never be mine.

I wan you as the dream

Not the reality

That clumsy goodbye kiss could fool me

But I'm looking back over my shoulder

At you, happy without me.

This is where I want to be

This is what I need

This is where I want to be

His is what I need

This is where I want to be

But I know that this will never be mine.

Ooh, the thrill and the hurting

Will never be mine

The thrill and the hurting

It will never be mine.

It can never be

The thrill and the hurting

Will never be mine.

"ROCKET'S TAIL" (For Rocket)

That November night, looking up into the sky,

You said "Hey, wish that was me up there-

It's the biggest rocket I could find

And it's holding the night in it's arms

If only for a moment.

I can't see the look in it's eyes

But I'm sure it must be laughing."

But it seemed to me the saddest thing I'd ever seen

And I thought you were crazy wishing such a thing-

I saw only a stick on fire

Alone on it's journey

Home to the quickening ground

With no one there to catch it.

I put on my pointed hat

And my black and silver suit

And I check my gunpowder pack

And I strap the stick on my back

And dressed as a rocket on Waterloo Bridge

Nobody seems to see me

Then with the fuse in my hand

And now shooting into the night

And still as a rocket

I land in the river..

Was it me said you were crazy?

I put on my cloudiest suit

Size 5 lightning boots too

'Coz I am a rocket

On fire

Look at me go with my tail on fire

With my tail on fire

On fire

Hey, look at me go, look at me...

"THIS WOMAN'S WORK"

Pray God you can cope

I stand outside this woman's work,

This woman's world.

Ooh, it's hard on the man

Now his part is over

Now starts the craft of the father.

I know you have a little life in you yet

I know you have a lot of strength left

I know you have a little life in you yet

I know you have a lot of strength left

I should be crying but I just can't let it show

I should be hoping but I can't stop thinking

Of all the things I should've said

That I never said,

All the things we should've done

That we never did,

All the things I should've given

But I didn't

Oh, darling, make it go,

Make it go away.

Give me these moments back

Give theme back to me

Give me that little kiss

Give me your hand.

I know you have a little life in you yet

I know you have a lot of strength left

I know you have a little life in you yet

I know you have a lot of strength left

I should be crying but I just can't let it show

I should be hoping but I can't stop thinking

Of all the things we should've said

That were never said.

All the things we should've done

That we never did,

All the things that you needed from me

All the things that you wanted for me

All the things I should've given

But I didn't

Oh, darling, make it go away

Just make it go away now.
