Album title: The Kick Inside
Moving stranger, does it really matter?
As long as you're not afraid
to feel
Touch me, hold me, how my open arms ache
Try to fall for me
(Chorus)
How I'm moved, how you move me
With your beauty's
potency
You give me life, please don't let me go
You crush the lilly in
my soul
Moving liquid, yes, you are just water
You flow around all that
comes in your way
Don't think it over, it always takes you over
And
sets your spirit dancing
(Chorus)
You'll find me in a Berlin bar
In a corner, brooding
You know
that I go very quiet
When I am listening to you
There's something
special indeed
In all the places where I've seen you shine, boy
There's
something very real in how I feel, honey
(Chorus)
It's in me, it's in me-and you know it's for real
Tuning in your saxophone
Doo-ba-doo-ba-doo
The candle is burning over your shoulder
Is throwing shadows on your
saxophone
A surly lady in tremor
The stars that climb from her bowels
Those stars make towers on vowels
You'll never know that you had all of
me
You'll never see the poetry you've stirred in me
Of all the stars
I've seen that shine so brightly
I've never known or felt, in myself, so
rightly
(Chorus)
Soon it will be the phase of the moon
When people tune in
Every
girl knows about the punctual blues
But who's to know the power
Behind
our moves
A day of coincidence with the radio
And a word that won't go away
We know what they'r all going to say
"G" arrives, funny, had a feeling
he was on his way
(Chorus)
We raise our hats to the strange phenomena
Soul birds
of a feather flock together
We raise out hats to the hand a-moulding us
Sure 'nuf-he has the answer
He has the answer
Om mani padme hum.
You pick up a paper, you read a name
You go out, it turns up again
and again
You bump into a friend you haven't seen
For a long time
Then into another you only thought about last night
You hear your sister calling for you
But you don't know where from
You know there's something wrong
But you don't want to believe in a
premonition
(Chorus)
Beelzebub is aching in my belly-o
My feet are heavy and I'm rooting
in my wellios
And I want to get away and go
From all these mirror
windows
I look at eye level, it isn't good enough
And then I find out,
when I take a good look up
There's a hole in the sky with a big eyeball
Calling me-
(Chorus)
Come up and be a kite
And fly a diamond night
A
diamond kite, a diamond kite
Ooh, what a diamond!
A diamond kite, on a diamond flight
Over the lights, under the moon
Over the lights, under the moon
Over the moon, over the moon
I feel a rush along my body like a bullet
I'm 2D, after a push and
pull feeling
And I want to get back to safe home
I love the homeland
dome
I got no limbs, I'm like a feather on the wind
Well I'm not sure
if I want to be up here at all
And I'd like to be back on the ground
But I don't know how to get down
(Chorus)
I hear him before I go to sleep
And focus on the day that's been
I realise he's there when I turn the light off
And turn over
Nobody
knows about my man
They think he's lost on some horizon
And suddenly I
find myself
Listening to a man I've never known before
Telling me about
the sea
All his love, 'till eternity
(Chorus)
Ooh, he's here again-
The man with the child in his
eyes
He's very understanding
And he's so aware of all my situations
And when I stay up late
He's always waiting
But I feel him hesitate
Oh, I'm so worried about my love
They say "No, no, it won't last
forever"
And here I am again my girl
Wondering what on earth I'm doing
here
Maybe he doesn't love me
I just took a trip on my love for him
(Chorus)
Out on the wiley, windy moors
We'd roll and fall in green
You
had a temper, like my jealousy
Too hot, too greedy
How could you leave
me?
When I needed to possess you
I hated you, I loved you too
Bad dreams in the night
They told me I was going to lose the fight
Leave behind my wuthering, wuthering
Wuthering Heights.
(Chorus)
Heathcliff, it's me, Cathy come home
I'm so cold, let
me in-a-your window
Oh it gets dark, it gets lonely
On the other side from you
I
pine alot, I find the lot
Falls through without you
I'm coming back
love, cruel Heathcliff
My only one dream, my only master
Too long I roam in the night
I'm coming back to his side to put it
right
I'm coming home to wuthering, wuthering
Wuthering Heights
(Chorus)
Oh let me have it, let me grab your soul away
Oh let me have it, let
me grab your soul away
You know it's me, Cathy (Chorus)
James, come on home
You've been gone too long baby
We can't let
out hero die alone
We miss you day and night
You left town to live by
the rifle
You left us to fight
But it just ain't right to take away the
light
(Chorus)
Remember Genie, from the casino
She's still a-waiting
in her big brass bed
The boys from your gang are knocking whiskey back
'Till they get out of hand
And wish they were dead
They're only
lonely for the life they led
With their old friend
Ooh, James are you
selling your soul to a cold gun?
Where lies your heart?
It's not there in the buckskin baby
It's
not there in the gin that makes you laugh long and loud
You're a coward James
Your running away from humanity
You're
running out on reality
It won't be funny when they
Rat-a-tat-tat you
down
(Chorus)
After the party, you took me back to your parlour
A little nervous
laughter, locking the door
My stockings fall on the floor, desperate for
more
Nobody else can share this
Here comes one and one makes one
The glorious union, well, it could be love
Or it could be just lust but
it will be fun
It will be wonderful
(Chorus)
Oh feel it, oh, oh, feel it, feel it my love
Oh feel
it, oh, oh, feel it, feel it my love
Oh I need it, oh, oh, feel it, feel it
my love
Feel it! See what you're doing to me
God but you're beautiful aren't you?
Feel your warm hand walking
around
I won't pull away, my passion always wins
So keep on a-moving
in, keep on tuning in
Synchronize rhythm now
(Chorus)
As the light hits you, as you shift along the floor
I find it hard
to place my face
How did I come to be here anyway?
It's terribly vague,
what's gone before
I could have been anyone
You could have been anyone's dream
Why
did you have to choose our moment?
Why did you have to make me feel that?
Why did you make it so unreal?
(Chorus)
Oh to be in love, and never get out again
Oh to be in
love, and never get out again
All the colours look brighter now
Everything they say seems to sound
new
Slipping into tomorrow too quick
Yesterday always too good to
forget
Stop the swing of the pendulum, let us through!
(Chorus)
You came out of the night
Wearing a mask in white colour
My eyes
were shining on the wine
And your aura
All in order, we move into the
boudoir
But too soon, the morning has resumed
(Chorus)
I'm hanging on the Old Goose Moon
You look like an
angel
Sleeping it off at a station
Were you only passing through?
I'm dying for you just to touch me
And feel all the energy rushing right up-a-me
L'amour looks
something like you
The thoughts of you sends me shivery
I'm dressed in lace sailing
down a black reverie
My heart is thrown to the pebbles
And the boatmen
All the time I find I'm living in that evening
With that feeling of
sticky love inside
(Chorus)
Rolling the ball, rolling the ball, rolling the ball to me
They
arrived at an inconvienient time
I was hiding in a room in my mind
They
made me look at myself
I saw it well, I'd shut the people out of my life
So now I take the opportunities
Wonderful teachers ready to teach me
I must work on my mind
For now I realize that everyone of us
Has a
heaven inside
(Chorus)
Them heavy people hit me in a soft spot
Them heavy
people help me
Them heavy people hit me in a soft spot
Rolling the
ball, rolling the ball, rolling the ball to me
They open doorways that I thought were shut for good
They read me
Gurdjieff and Jesu
They build up my body
Break me emotionally, it's
nearly killing me
But what a lovely feeling!
I love the whirling of the
Dervishes
I love the beauty of rare innocence
You don't need no crystal
ball
Don't fall for a magic wand
We humans got it all, we perform the
miracles
(Chorus)
Hey there you lady in tears
Do you think that they care if they're
real women?
They just take it as part of the deal.
Lost in your men and
the games you play
Trying to prove that you're better, woman
But you
needn't get heavy with them
Like it or not, we were build tough
Because
we're woman
(Chorus)
No, we never die for long
While we've got that little
life to life for
Where it's hid inside, no, we never die for long
Oh-woman, two in one
There's room for a life in your womb, woman
Inside of you, can be two, woman
There's room for a life in your womb,
woman
Mama woman-aha-
Night after night in the quiet house
Plaiting her hair by the fire,
woman
With no lover to free her desire
How long do you think she can
stick it out
How long do you think, before she'll go out, woman
Hey get
up on your feet and go get it now
Like it or not we keep bouncing back
Because we're woman
(Chorus)
I've pulled down my lace and the chintz
Oh, do you know you have the
face of a genius
I'll send your love to Zeus
Oh, by the time you read
this, I'll be well in touch
(Chorus)
I'm giving it all in a moment or two
I'm giving it all
in a moment for you
I'm giving it all, giving it, giving it-giving it
This kicking here inside makes me leave you behind
No more under the
quilt to keep you warm
Your sister I was born-you must lose me
Like an
arrow shot in the killer storm
You and me on the bobbing knee
Didn't we cry at that old mythology
he'd read
I will come home again, but not until
The sun and moon meet
on yon hill
(Chorus)
