lyrics
I watch your mouth
As you look down
You are enchanting, aren't you
And I'm a cloud
Of unclear sound
And absorbed vagueness
Till you go.
They put me in the welcome centre
And I can't choose when people enter
My head is full of magic tricks and
Other errors that I'm loathed to fix because
I have thoughts -
Below, above -
You a lover
Me in love -
How odd, how odd.
From the highs
And through the floors
You be my head
I'll be yours
Let's go, let's go...
(INS)
I watch your hands
And understand
That life's not simple for you you
And you won't know
How far I'd go
To make things bearable,
Sharable.
I heard it all this afternoon on radio 4
The characters were us, and the protaganist was either/or
A cold, sardonic play about the issue of repression
The battle of the brain against the evils of confession - oh my God.
I have thoughts -
Below, above -
You a lover
Me in love -
How odd, how odd.
From the highs
And through the flaws
You be my head
I'll be yours
Let's go, let's go...
(INS)
I've had thoughts below, above and
I've been down, my simple sadness
I'm all out of wasting time and all my love -
Let's go.
As you look down
You are enchanting, aren't you
And I'm a cloud
Of unclear sound
And absorbed vagueness
Till you go.
They put me in the welcome centre
And I can't choose when people enter
My head is full of magic tricks and
Other errors that I'm loathed to fix because
I have thoughts -
Below, above -
You a lover
Me in love -
How odd, how odd.
From the highs
And through the floors
You be my head
I'll be yours
Let's go, let's go...
(INS)
I watch your hands
And understand
That life's not simple for you you
And you won't know
How far I'd go
To make things bearable,
Sharable.
