Mother Whale Eyeless |
| 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 |
| Dont count upon their company. |
| Places for the fingers |
| Places for the nails |
| Hidden in the kitchen |
| Right behind the scales. |
| What do I care |
| Im wasting fingers like I have them to spare |
| Plugging holes in the zuider zee |
| Punishing paul for peter |
| Dont 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 is a man without his raincoat. |
| In another country |
| With another name |
| Maybe things are different |
| Maybe theyre the same. |
| Back on the train |
| The seven soldiers read the papers again |
| But the news it doesnt 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 |
| Were all sure |
| Youll make the grade |
| Mother of God if you care |
| Were on a train to nowhere |
| Please put a cross upon our eyes |
| Take me Im nearly ready you can take me To the raincoat in the sky |
| Take me my little pastry mother take me Theres a pie shop in the sky. |
