[Lovers' Leap]

 

Walking across the sitting-room, I turn the television off.

Sitting beside you, I look into your eyes.

As the sound of motor cars fades in the night time,

I swear I saw your face change, it didn't seem quite right.

...And it's hello babe with your guardian eyes so blue

Hey my baby don't you know our love is true.

 

Coming closer with our eyes, a distance falls around our bodies.

Out in the garden, the moon seems very bright,

Six saintly shrouded men move across the lawn slowly.

The seventh walks in front with a cross held high in hand.

...And it's hey babe your supper's waiting for you.

Hey my baby, don't you know our love is true.

 

I've been so far from here,

Far from your warm arms.

It's good to feel you again,

It's been a long long time. Hasn't it?

 

[The Guaranteed Eternal Sanctuary Man]

 

I know a farmer who looks after the farm.

With water clear, he cares for all his harvest.

I know a fireman who looks after the fire.

 

You, can't you see he's fooled you all.

Yes, he's here again, can't you see he's fooled you all.

Share his peace,

Sign the lease.

He's a supersonic scientist,

He's the guaranteed eternal sanctuary man.

Look, look into my mouth he cries,

And all the children lost down many paths,

I bet my life you'll walk inside

Hand in hand,

gland in gland

With a spoonful of miracle,

He's the guaranteed eternal sanctuary.

We will rock you, rock you little snake,

We will keep you snug and warm.

 

[ikhnaton And Itsacon And Their Band Of Merry Men]

 

Wearing feelings on our faces while our faces took a rest,

We walked across the fields to see the children of the West,

But we saw a host of dark skinned warriors

standing still below the ground,

Waiting for battle.

 

The fight's begun, they've been released.

Killing foe for peace...bang, bang, bang. Bang, bang, bang...

And they're giving me a wonderful potion,

'Cos I cannot contain my emotion.

And even though I'm feeling good,

Something tells me I'd better activate my prayer capsule.

 

Today's a day to celebrate, the foe have met their fate.

The order for rejoicing and dancing has come from our warlord.

 

[How Dare I Be So Beautiful?]

 

Wandering through the chaos the battle has left,

We climb up a mountain of human flesh,

To a plateau of green grass, and green trees full of life.

A young figure sits still by a pool,

He's been stamped "Human Bacon" by some butchery tool.

(He is you)

Social Security took care of this lad.

We watch in reverence, as Narcissus is turned to a flower.

A flower?

 

[Willow Farm]

 

If you go down to Willow Farm,

to look for butterflies, flutterbyes, gutterflies

Open your eyes, it's full of surprise, everyone lies,

like the fox on the rocks,

and the musical box.

Oh, there's Mum & Dad, and good and bad,

and everyone's happy to be here.

 

There's Winston Churchill dressed in drag,

he used to be a British flag, plastic bag, what a drag.

The frog was a prince, the prince was a brick, the brick was an egg,

the egg was a bird.

(Fly away you sweet little thing, they're hard on your tail)

Hadn't you heard?

(They're going to change you into a human being!)

Yes, we're happy as fish and gorgeous as geese,

and wonderfully clean in the morning.

 

We've got everything, we're growing everything,

We've got some in

We've got some out

We've got some wild things floating about

Everyone, we're changing everyone,

you name them all,

We've had them here,

And the real stars are still to appear.

 

ALL CHANGE!

 

Feel your body melt;

Mum to mud to mad to dad

Dad diddley office, Dad diddley office,

You're all full of ball.

 

Dad to dam to dum to mum

Mum diddley washing, Mum diddley washing,

You're all full of ball.

 

Let me hear you lies, we're living this up to the eyes.

Ooee-ooee-ooee-oowaa

Momma I want you now.

 

And as you listen to my voice

To look for hidden doors, tidy floors, more applause.

You've been here all the time,

Like it or not, like what you got,

You're under the soil (the soil, the soil),

Yes, deep in the soil (the soil, the soil, the soil, the soil!).

So we'll end with a whistle and end with a bang

and all of us fit in our places.

 

[Apocalypse In 9/8 (Co-Starring the delicious talents of Gabble Ratchet)]

 

With the guards of Magog, swarming around,

The Pied Piper takes his children underground.

Dragons coming out of the sea,

Shimmering silver head of wisdom looking at me.

He brings down the fire from the skies,

You can tell he's doing well by the look in human eyes.

Better not compromise.

It won't be easy.

 

666 is no longer alone,

He's getting out the marrow in your back bone,

And the seven trumpets blowing sweet rock and roll,

Gonna blow right down inside your soul.

Pythagoras with the looking glass reflects the full moon,

In blood, he's writing the lyrics of a brand new tune.

 

And it's hey babe, with your guardian eyes so blue,

Hey my baby, don't you know our love is true,

I've been so far from here,

Far from your loving arms,

Now I'm back again, and babe it's gonna work out fine.

 

[As Sure As Eggs Is Eggs (Aching Men's Feet)]

 

Can't you feel our souls ignite

Shedding ever changing colours, in the darkness of the fading night,

Like the river joins the ocean, as the germ in a seed grows

We have finally been freed to get back home.

 

There's an angel standing in the sun, and he's crying with a loud voice,

"This is the supper of the mighty one",

Lord of Lords,

King of Kings,

Has returned to lead his children home,

To take them to the new Jerusalem.

"Everybody Knows" (leonard cohen)

 

Everybody knows that the dice are loaded

Everybody rolls with their fingers crossed

Everybody knows that the war is over

Everybody knows the good guys lost

Everybody knows the fight was fixed

The poor stay poor, the rich get rich

That's how it goes

Everybody knows

Everybody knows that the boat is leaking

Everybody knows that the captain lied

Everybody got this broken feeling

Like their father or their dog just died

 

Everybody talking to their pockets

Everybody wants a box of chocolates

And a long stem rose

Everybody knows

 

Everybody knows that you love me baby

Everybody knows that you really do

Everybody knows that you've been faithful

Ah give or take a night or two

Everybody knows you've been discreet

But there were so many people you just had to meet

Without your clothes

And everybody knows

 

Everybody knows, everybody knows

That's how it goes

Everybody knows

 

Everybody knows, everybody knows

That's how it goes

Everybody knows

 

And everybody knows that it's now or never

Everybody knows that it's me or you

And everybody knows that you live forever

Ah when you've done a line or two

Everybody knows the deal is rotten

Old Black Joe's still pickin' cotton

For your ribbons and bows

And everybody knows

 

And everybody knows that the Plague is coming

Everybody knows that it's moving fast

Everybody knows that the naked man and woman

Are just a shining artifact of the past

Everybody knows the scene is dead

But there's gonna be a meter on your bed

That will disclose

What everybody knows

 

And everybody knows that you're in trouble

Everybody knows what you've been through

From the bloody cross on top of Calvary

To the beach of Malibu

Everybody knows it's coming apart

Take one last look at this Sacred Heart

Before it blows

And everybody knows

 

Everybody knows, everybody knows

That's how it goes

Everybody knows

 

Oh everybody knows, everybody knows

That's how it goes

Everybody knows

 

Everybody knows

My Human Gets Me Blues (by Don Van Vliet aka CAPTAIN BEEFHEART) from the album Trout Mask Replica

 

I saw yuh baby dancin’ in your x-ray gingham dress

I knew you were under duress

I knew you were under yer dress

Just keep comin’ Jesus

Your the best dressed

You look dandy in the sky but you don’t scare me

Cause I got you here in my eye

In this lifetime you got m’humangetsmeblues

With yer jaw hangin’ slack n’ yer hair’s curlin’

Like an ole navy fork stickin’ in the sunset

The way you were dancin’ I knew you’d never come back

You were strainin’ t’ keep yer

Old black cracked patent shoes

In this lifetime you got m’humangetsmeblues

Well the way you’d been ole lady

I could see the fear in yer windows

Under yer furry crawlin’ brow

Uh silver bow rings up in inches

You were afraid you’d be the devils red wife

But it’s alright God dug yer dance

‘n would have you young ‘n in his harum

Dress you the way he wants cause he never had uh doll

Cause everybody made him uh boy

‘n God didn’t think t’ ask his preference

You can bring yer dress ‘n yer favorite dog

‘n yer husbands cane

‘n yer old spotted hog

Cause in this lifetime

You’ve got m’humangetsmeblues

(1969)
