Heaven Wasn't In The Sky

If you won't come over
I won't come to your house
If I won't come to you
I'll just live without you
Turn this way and that,
and twist like a snake
If I want to see you
I would have to change
Heaven wasn't in the sky
but I'll get there anyway
If you won't come over
I won't come to your house
If I won't come to you
I'll just live without you
and try to remember
when we could be friends
when I used to follow
everything you said
Heaven wasn't in the sky
but I'll get there anyway
Heaven wasn't in the sky
but I'll get there, just the same.
When I try to please you
I can't see to stand
and when you come in
you wreck everything
I'll go somewhere far,
where you never can.
I won't hear your voice
I won't feel your hands.
Heaven wasn't in the sky
but I'll get there anyway
Heaven wasn't in the sky
but I'll get there, just the same.

he stood by the bedroom door
laughing at the things he saw
it just hovers over me
it just hovers over me
it's like a pig with broken teeth
it's like a camera stealing your face
i want only to repel
i time travel against my will
you come down
& crush my body

On This Bed Forever
Oh my darling boy
aren't you ever tired?
Could you agree to lie
on this bed forever? Darling, drag me under.
Outside, colored lights
and sympathetic liars
Could you agree to lie
on this bed forever? Darling, drag me under.
Oh my spider bite, small and red and precious,
could you agree to lie
on this bed forever? Darling, drag me under.
Darling, drag me under

Dell of Ferns

now we have picnics on the shore
where no one ever thinks of her
how she fell in & faded out
she faded in a dell of ferns
we quiet play in twos and fours
a dell of ferns we play about
where no one ever drops a ball
or shouts out loud
gradually we forgot her
until she was just part of the water
gradually we forgot her
until she was just part of the water
the little girl got water-pale
until she was invisible
her eyes her face her dress her voice
her arms and legs became a wave
we quiet play in twos and fours
a dell of ferns we play about
where no one ever drops a ball
or shouts out loud
gradually we forgot her
until she was just part of the water
gradually we forgot her
until she was just part of the water
the little girl got water pale
until she was invisible
her eyes her face her dress her voice
her arms and legs became a wave
now we have picnics on the shore
where no one ever thinks of her
how she fell in & faded out
she faded in a dell of ferns
gradually we forgot her
until she was just part of the water
gradually we forgot her
until she was just part of the water

You Kill The Dream

It's not the things I'll never do
It's knowing nothing will come true
You kill the dream of love
You kill the dream
Bury her in my place -
you know we have the same face
You kill the dream of love
You kill the dream
Give your tired lungs to me
forever keep your baby teeth
You kill the dream of love
You kill the dream
Fold your arms and lie back
Follow pretty lights, go off the path
You kill the dream of love
You kill the dream
You kill the dream
You kill the dream

if you're done the be done
if you're weak don't be strong
put your name on my tongue
when it melts you'll be gone
i don't want anything you want
if you're weak don't be strong
put your name on my tongue
when it melts you'll be gone

if you don't take a single bite
you'll never know what it was like
save yourself save yourself
you're a fever melting fast
if you don't take a single bite
you'll never know what it was like
i will jump into the fire
and i will get what i deserve
save yourself
you're a fever melting fast
see the greasy world
go sliding off of you
then the greasy world
will matter not at all
climb the snake charmer's rope
i will jump into the fire
and i will get what i deserve
save yourself
you're a fever melting fast

Teeth For Pearls
02:52

i'm your only friend
i'm your only friend
who will ever know
so you slyly stay
wrapped in pretty sheets
and string your teeth for pearls
i'm your only friend
i'm your only friend
who will ever have
so you slyly stay
wrapped in pretty sheets
and string your teeth for pearls
they will never see you
i will have and keep you
flattered and afraid
it's unheard of glamour
it's unheard of glamour
and we won't ever change
it's never winter in the house
and you are never going out again

Queen To Bathe
02:38

with hands that never learned to shake
the witch persuades the queen to bathe
and pours the pitcher over her
and changes shape and changes shape
you fall in anyway
there's enough for everyone
and it sparkles in the jar
the fireflies all light at once
you change your shape
you fall in anyway

Water

water water water water
as far as the eye can see
as far as the ear can hear
waves are whispering to me
and this lake is like a shadow
that can rise and breathe
and i swam and kissed your mouth
and you gave your heart to me
with your fingers trailing water
and your dialated eyes
if it lets up for an hour
water water water water
as far as the eye can see
as far as the ear can hear
and you gave your heart to me.

Count Back

count back a hundred years
before you lived to be a man
count back a hundred years
and roll the backs of your eyes
it's going very fast
and still you won't stop
count back a thousand years
before you lived to be a man
crawl in the fireplace
and you can always be erased
it's going very fast
and still you won't stop
count back a million years
eight hours on a dirty floor
count back a million years
and you are in reverse
it's going very fast
and still you won't stop
and still you won't stop

nuance - the musical
by christian fitness
supported by 4 fans who also own “Teeth For Pearls”
Falco's best since 'Rock me Amadeus', and possibly before. in a just world anybody that had written and recorded hamsterland would spend the rest of their days lounging on a yacht with an unending queue of Tahitian girls bringing them trinkets and baubles, feeding them grapes and catering to their every whim. however, I've been to Cardiff, and it's not quite that. bloody Thatcher.
