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 I was a flower of the mountain, yes,
But now I` ve 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 earth caress
And the down of a peach says mmh, yes.
Do I look for those millionaires
Like a Machiavellan girl would?
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 rescued it, mmh, yes.
And his spark took life in my hand and, mmh, yes,
I said, mmh, yes,
But not yet, 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.
It 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 l do with out you?
Take away the love and the anger
And a little piece of hope holding us together
Looking for a moment that'il never happen
Living in the gap between past and future
Take away the stone and the timber
And a lit tle piece of pope 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 teil it to your heart?
Can you find it in your heart
To let go of these feelings
L ike a beli to a Southerly wind
we could be like two strings beating,
Speaking in sympathy................
What would we do without you?
Two strings speak m sympathy.
Take away the love and the anger
And a little piece of hope holding us together
Looking for a moment that'Il never happen
Living in the gap belween 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, not 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 I 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
lt'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?
Without 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 feeI 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.
HEADS 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,"
WelI, 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 it's 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
He go do-do-do-do-do
He go do-do-do-do-do
Do you want to dance?
Well 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
He go mmh-mmh-mmh-mmh-mmh
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 man 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 youve 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 man and a woman.
Don`t you see you`re in the way-Between a man and a woman.
Every day and night I pray, Let the pendulum swing
Between a man and a woman.
Between a man 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
This 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 want 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
This 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 wilI never be mine.
It can never be
The thrill and the hurting
Will never be mine,
ROCKET`S TAIL
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 Ihe 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 cloudest 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 womans world,
Ooh, it`s hard on the man
Now his part is over
Now starts the ccaft of the father.
I know you have a lit tle life in you yet
I know you have a lot of strength left
I know you have a lit tle life in you yet
I know you have a lot of streng th 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 l never said,
All the things we should`ve done
That we never did,
All the things I should've given
But I didn`t
Qh, darling make it go,
Make it go away.
Give me these moments back
Give them back to me
Give me that litle 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 cant stop thinking
Of alI 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 I go away
Just make it go away now.
