Album Notes
4.33 AM (Running Shoes)
So I stood by the roadside
The soles
of my running shoes gripping the tarmac
Like gunmetal magnets
Fixed on
the fron of her Fassbinder face
Was the kind of a smile
That only a
rather dull child could have drawn
While attempting a graveyard in the
moonlight
But she was impressed
You could see that she thought I
looked fine
And when she turned sweeter
The reason (between you and
me) was
She'd just seen my green Lamborghini
So we went for a spin
in the country
To feel the wind in our hair
To feel the power of my
engine
To feel the thrill of desire
And then in the trees I heard
a twig snap
Warning lights flashed on my map
I opened my eyes and to
my surprise
4.37 AM (Arabs with Knives and West German Skies)
There were
Arabs with knives
At the foot of the bed
Right at the foot of the
bed
Oh my God how did they get in here?
I thought we wee safe home in
England
She said "Come on now kit, it was wrong what you did
You've
got to admit it was wrong."
Oh
god....jesus
Sleep Sleep
I know that I'm only
dreaming
Leave her alone..get
out..out..get out of my house
Through closed eyes
I see West German
skies on the ceiling
And I want to get back
To the girl with the
rucksack
To feel her flaxen hair
I want to be there
See the sun
going down
Behind Krupps steelworks
On the outskirts of some German
town
Guten Abend meiner
Damen und Herren Ha Ha Ha Ha
Willkommen in Konigsburg Ha Ha Ha
Ha
Wollen zie danzen mit mir
oder drinken Bier Ha Ha Ha Ha
Thank you but......
This young lady and
I
Will just finish this bottle of wine
It was kind of you...but
I
think we'll just say
goodnight.
Leave us
alone
Goodnight
Leave us
alone
Could I have the key to
one for three please?
There
you are
Thank you,
goodnight
Hello yes I'd
like to order breakfast please
I'd like coffee for two, and toast with
marmalade
No...marmalade.
4.39 AM (For the First Time Today-Part 2)
For the first time
today
I help her naked body next to mine
In this hotel overlooking the
Rhine
I made her mine
Ooh babe...ooh babe
Come with me and stay
with me
Please stay with me
Uh...what is it?
Stay with me
Stay with me
Stay with
me
No...
Stay with
me
Forget it
4.41 AM (Sexual Revolution)
Hey...girl
Take out the
dagger
And let's have a stab at the sexual revolution
Hey girl
Let
freedom for all be our rallying call
Tomorrow lets make...our new
resolution
Yeah, but tonight lie still
While I plunder your sweet
grave
And remember
Only the poor can be saved
Hey girl
As
I've always said I prefer your lips red
Not what the good Lord
made
But what he intended
Hey girl
Don't point the finger at
me
I am only a rat in a maze like you
And onlly the dead go
free
So...please hold my hand
As we blundre through the maze
And
remember
Nothing can grow without
rain
(Thunder)
Don't
point
Don't point your finger at me
I woke in a fever
The
bedclothes were all soaked in sweat
She said "You've been having a
nightmare
And it's not over yet"
Then she picked up the doggy in the
window
(The one with the waggly tail)
And she put him to bed between
two bits of bread
4.47 AM (The Remains of Our Love)
I just cowered in the
corner
My pyjama coat over my head
And she smiled as she finished her
sandwich
And her cold eyes fixed me to my dark history
As she brushed
the remains
Of our love from the bed
And when she had turned back the
covers
When all of the prayers had been read
She said "Come on over
here you silly boy
Before you catch your death of cold
I was only
joking
Let's leave behind the city grime
Let's not compete
It could
be fine in the country
Couldn't it though...come on let's go
I said
"OK"
Are we going to go
now?
Where would you like to
go darling?
Mmm...Vermont...Wyoming (yes)
Wyoming...huh huh
Children...(what) we're going to
Wyoming
Darling...Which way is
Wyoming?
Hook a right
here
You're going the wrong
way
I know
that
I know
children...
Let's see how
many...Volvos we pass
On the
way to our new life in the
country
...One
Jade don't do that,
that's really negative
4.50 AM (Go Fishing)
As cars go by I cast my mind's eye
Over
back packs on roof racks
Beyond the horizon
Where dream
makers
Working white plastic processors
Invite the unwary
To reach
for the pie in the sky
Go fishing my boy!
We set out in the
spring
With a trunk full of books about everything
About solar
devices
And how nice natural childbirth is
We cut down some
trees
And we trailed our ideals
Through the forest glade
We dammed
up the stream
And the kids cooled their heels
In the fishing pool
we'd made
We held hands and we exchanged bands
And we practically
lived off the land
You adopted a fox cub
Whose mother was somebody's
coat
You fed him by hand
And then snuggled him down
In the
grandfather bed while I wrote
We grew our own maize
And I only
occasionally went into town
To stock up on antibiotics
And shells for
the shotgun that I kept around
I told the kids stories
While you
worked your loom
And the sun went down sooner each
day.
*Chapter six in which
Eeyore has a birthday
And gets
two presents
Daddy...come on
dad
Eeyore the old grey donkey
stood by the side
Of the
stream and he looked at himself in the
water
"Pathetic" he said,
"That's what it is"
"Good
morning Eeyore" said Pooh
"Oh"
said Pooh, He thought for a long time
The leaves all fell down
Our
crops all turned brown
It was over
As the first snowflakes fell
I
realised all was not well in the camp
The kids caught bronchitis
The
space heater ran out of diesel
One weekend a friend from the East
Rot
his soul
Stole your heard
I said "Fuck it then
Take the kids
back to town
Maybe I'll see you around"
And so...leaving all our
hopes and dreams
To the wind and the rain
Taking only our
stash
Left our litter and trash
And set out on the road again
On
the road again
Bye Bye
Daddy, Bye Daddy
You can bring
Pearl she's a darn nice girl
But don't bring Liza
4.56 AM (For the First Time Today - Part 1)
For the first time
today
I feel it's really over
You were my everyday excuse
For
playing deaf, dumb and blind
Who'd have ever thought
This was how it
would end for you and me
To carry my own millstone
Out of the
trees
And I have to admit
I don't like it a bit
Being left here
beside this lonesome road.
Lonesome road
Lonesome road
4.58 AM (Dunroamin, Duncarin,
Dunlivin)
Hey kid, you
looking for a lift?...Get on up
here
How's it going good
buddy?
I nailed ducks to the wall
Kept my heart in dark ruins
I
built bungalows all over the hills
Dunroamin, duncarin, dunlivin
Took
my girl to the country
To sleep out under the moon
Next thing she's
going crazy
Women are like
that kid
What the hell can you
do?
She waits for the real Mr. Right to come
Gently removing her
heart
With his promises of real
communication
I saw a program
about that on TV........
Who's always picking up the tab
Who built a
bungalow for his mum and dad
Me.....
Who took you out to all the
shows
Who worked his fingers to the bone
Me....
While you were
asleep
It was me...I did
I
kept you in buttons and bows
Christ all those clothes
So you could encourage this creep
With his
neat feet
And his clean fingernails
With his wise but twinkling
eyes
He's a rock standing out in an ocean of
doubt
Get movin', get off the
road ya Goddam faggot
And compromise
I'd like to go on with this
bit of a song
Describing this schmuck
I'd like to go on, but I'm going
to throw up
Not in my rig you
don't boy...get the hell out of here
5:01 AM (The Pros and Cons of Hitchhiking)
An angel on a
Harley
Pulls across to greet a fellow rolling stone
Puts his bike up
on it's stand
Leans back and then extends
A scarred and greasy
hand...he said
How ya doin
bro?...where ya been?...where ya goin'?
Then he takes your hand
In
some strange Californian handshake
And breaks the
bone
Have a nice day
A
housewife from Encino
Whose husband's on the golf course
With his book
of rules
Breaks and makes a 'U' and idles back
To take a second look
at you
You flex your rod
Fish takes the hook
Sweet vodka and
tobacco in her breath
Another number in your little black
book
These are the pros and cons of hitchhiking
These are the pros
and cons of hitchhiking
Oh babe, I must be dreaming
I'm standing on
the leading edge
The Eastern seaboard spread before my eyes
"Jump"
says Yoko Ono
"I'm too scared and too good looking" I cried
"Go on",
she says
"Why don't you give it a try?
Why prolong the agony all men
must die"
Do you remember Dick Tracy?
Do you remember
Shane?
And mother wants
you
Could you see him selling tickets
Where the buzzard circles
over
Shane
The bitch said
someting mystical "Herro"
So I stepped back on the kerb
again
These are the pros and cons of hitchhiking
These are the
pros and cons of hitchhiking
Oh babe, I must be dreaming
again
These are the pros and cons of hitchhiking
5.06 AM (Every Strangers
Eyes)
Hello...you wanna
cup of coffee?
I'm sorry,
would you like a cup of
coffee?
Ok you take cream and
sugar?
In truck stops and hamburger joints
In Cadillac
limousines
In the company of has-beens
And bent-backs and sleeping
forms
On pavement steps
In libraries and railway stations
In books
and banks
In the pages of history
In suicidal cavalry attacks
I
recognise...
Myself in every stranger's eyes
And now from where I
stand
Upon this hill I plundered from the pool
I look around, I search
the skies
I shade my eyes, so nearly blind
And I see signs of half
remembered days
I hear bells that chime in strange familiar ways
I
recognise...
The hope you kindle in your eyes
It's oh so easy
now
As we lie here in the dark
Nothing interferes it's obvious
How
to beat the tears
That threaten to snuff out
The spark of our love
5.11 AM (The Moment of Clarity)
And the moment of
clarity
Faded like charity does
Sometimes
I opened one eye
And I
put out my hand just to touch your soft hair
To make sure in the darkness
that you were still there
And I have to admit
I was just a little
afraid, oh yeah
But then...
I had a little bit of luck
You were
awake
