Lyrics

After The Death I wanted her to see me in glory In my hour of victory I wanted her submission I wanted an admission of defeat I wanted her to see me triumphant Glorious and radiant Grovelling at my feet Writhing in abject defeat Chorus: And now there's no-one left to be Now there's nowhere left to see No way to be free After the death of the old enemy After the death of the old enemy She closed the door and left a mirror there She cheated and left me standing here Death and its finality Reflecting my own mortality Chorus She stands through the mirror With a glass in her hand Champagne on the piano And a mouth full of sand Saboteur She came as a friend We shook hands and then we smiled Instant rapport We spoke of mutual friends She asked about my family And admired my car We had a working lunch Ah, we gossiped and we laughed Confidentially In the glow of wine Yes, I told her everything Shamelessly Chorus: How was I such an easy target How was I such an easy prey How could I not see What a fool I must be To be fooled so easily She scrutinised her plan And surveyed the ground around For camouflage She ordered Creme Then she gently set the fuse And laid the charge So I paid the bill We shook hands and then we smiled So glad we'd met Then she dropped the bomb... And she blew my world apart With no regret Morning Girls Soft focus on the lady who gets up late In languid and sleepy state Lashings of eau de toilette Perfumes of faint violet Slinky silky Crˆpe de Chine Nothing ever petty or mean Tracing fingers on her pillow Where the lawn runs down to the willow And the river flows gently on Singing a skylark summer song Working girls are early to rise Cold tile floor and sleep in their eyes The working day begins When the alarm bell rings Fumble for something clean to wear Scraping a brush through unwashed hair Pull on a dress An old pair of tights Patch up make up From last night A fast breakfast of cornflakes and toast Catch the news Running for the bus in the rain Waiting for the eight o'clock train Chorus: Morning Girls Morning Girls Morning Girls Morning Girls Morning sickness throwing up How much must you give up Will it ruin your career Must you finish school this year Is it wanted Were you caught Time for joy Or time to abort Take the strain of getting fat Take the pain are you ready for that Woken by a baby needing a drink Scheming by the cooker and kitchen sink Visions of the supermarket Brought home in an empty basket Fantasies of a hoover day drone Leisurely cleaning a spotless home Dreams of fame and fortune While tidying up the front room Half Listening I rearranged the furniture While you read me the riot act I counted the pints on the doorstep While you told me the things I lacked I drove you nearly mad with rage As I sat and quietly tore the page Into tiny little pieces Whilst you held centre stage Chorus: Half listening my mind is far away Half listening half an ear on what you say I contemplated the garden And the plants that I'd like to grow While you shrieked about the business And how little they all know I tidied up the garden shed Whilst you called me a dunderhead Not a thought you left unsaid As I pondered quietly I know your doubts I know your fears I know your laughter and your tears Together we've come through all these years And I love you as you are Half listening your mind if far away Half listening half an ear on what I say Each Heart Each heart will it's path devise A child like way for the worldly wise The path of truth for the teller of lies The drunkard finds a sober way The gambler finds no bets to lay The gossip finds no words to say Blind frustrations mark the gate A course of lessons learnt too late The time you run is the time to wait The deaf will listen carefully The dumb will witness joyfully And we shall see all there is to see

Deep In The Darkest Night Deep in the darkest night Under a midnight blue Standing alone with the sea and the moon You said that you'd come back soon Deep in the darkest night Deep in a memory A fugitive on the run Looking for somewhere to make a bed Somewhere to lie a restless head Deep in a memory Chorus: I'll be your harbour when there's a storm I'll be your sunshine I'll keep you warm I'll be your shelter in the rain and snow Remember wherever you go Deep in the darkest night Dans un noir de nuit Je n'avais rien dit Souvenir d'un ête chaud Souvenir de soleil et d'eau Dans un noir de nuit Deep in your heart you know You're running against the wind Taking your loneliness in your case The same old sadness from place to place Deep in your heart you know Chorus Dans un noir de nuit Dans un noir de nuit Deep in the darkest night Oh No Oh no, not religion again Go to church? You must be bloody joking Give me the pub with drinking and smoking Humourless, straight laced, holier-than-thou Cheerless chapel, pledge and vow Church of England, boring empty ritual Vestments set with gold and jewels The Pope runs a multinational corporation Bleeds the poor that seek salvation Oh no, not religion again God Squad One rainy morning feeling down in my health I was thinking of ways to improve myself Being young I was on the dole With time on my hands to search my soul I tried Gestalt and female liberation I also tried I Ching and meditation I went to India through Marakesh My Guru said that life is like a fish It's just a wish God squad write a brochure God squad post it today God squad no risk or obligation God squad a real give-away Marijuana, Mescalin and mushrooms gave me hope To save the whale I gave up soap I was seeking truth in a brandy glass When astrology led me to a yoga class Down on a health farm hydro I met a girl She said "It's all in your head, it's attitudinal" I went jogging for pleasure, jogging for fun Then I read my way through Freud and Jung and Mao Tse Tung God squad unbeatable value God squad whiter than white God squad great bargain offer God squad at discount price I paid for a course of est and gave up meat Another step forward on shoeless feet I lived on brown rice and fresh air It's hard sometimes but I'm getting there I'm almost there God squad immediate delivery God squad sale or return God squad credit facility God squad money to burn God squad take on a test drive God squad try it for size God squad get it on approval God squad go on, give it a try Trivial Hymn Please don't ask me to give up my life Please don't ask me for a great sacrifice All I can do, is see your point of view I was born with a feeble heart We both knew that from the very start All I can do, is try to see it through And this is my trivial hymn for you I would be Samson but my hair is too short I would be David but I'm not fond of sport All I can do is paddle my own canoe All I can manage is one day a week And please can I be one of the meek All I can do is try my best for you And this is my trivial hymn for you Holy smoke it's getting higher There is no smoke without a little fire Somebody spoke, says you're a liar But I'm a tryer Pater Noster Pater noster ring the bells This shrivelled heart in triumphs swells A voice lost in adoration Melts and blends in true vocation And joins the blessed Christian band As Jesus takes my by the hand Hallelujah sings my heart From this joy I never shall part Love divine all love excelling Love my heart is always telling This song I'll sing and shout in praise As Jesus leads me from the grave Hope Lies Now I'll shed this load that I've carried so long I'll cut off my hair and sing a new song Jesus help me to find out what's wrong You've shown me where my hope lies now Help me to take the bull by the horns Help me to accept my crown of thorns Let this heart be riven and torn Give me strength to be a fool And free the fear of ridicule Help me become the Lord's tool And if my will is truly steeled Then all my hurt will all be healed When all will finally be revealed You've shown me where my hope lies now Allelujah Qui a tuum est regnum et potestas et gloria in saecula Allelujah
