Mother Whale Eyeless

 

Mother Whale Eyeless Lyrics

I can think of nowhere
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.
