Lyrics
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 peacebang, 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 the mountain of human flesh
To a plateau of green grass
And green trees full of life
A young figure sit's 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 focks on the rocks
And the musical box
Oh, there's Mum and 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, and the egg was a bird
Hadn't you heard? 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 yes, deep in 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
Dragon's coming out of the sea
With the 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
You'd better not compromise it won't be easy
666 is no longer alone
He's getting out of the
Marrow in your backbone
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 baby 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
