Mother Whale Eyeless Lyrics |
||
|
I would rather be Reading morning papers Drinking morning tea. She clutches the tray And then we talk just like a kitchen sink play Nothing ventured nothing gained Living so close to danger Even your friends are strangers Don`t count upon their company. Places for the fingers Places for the nails Hidden in the kitchen Right behind the scales. What do I care I`m wasting fingers like I have them to spare Plugging holes in the Zuider Zee Punishing Paul for Peter Don`t ever trust those meters What you believe is what you see. In my town, there is a raincoat under a tree In the sky there is a cloud containing the sea In the sea there is a whale without any eyes In the whale there is a man without his raincoat. In another country With another name Maybe things are different Maybe they`re the same. Back on the train The seven soldiers read the papers again But the news it doesn`t change Swinging about through the creepers Parachutes caught on steeples Heroes are born But heroes die. Just a few days A little practice and some holiday pay We`re all sure You`ll make the grade Mother of God if you care We`re on a train to nowhere Please put a cross upon our eyes Take me I`m nearly ready you can take me To the raincoat in the sky Take me my little pastry mother take me There`s a pie shop in the sky. |
