lyrics
The Waves Have Eyes
Sitting in your garden hiding in the hedge
Unsuccessful soft mints on your window ledge
Me and Sister Brenda don’t see eye to eye
And her guard pig Eugene has just emerged from his sty
He was still half asleep as I ran up the tree
I’ve got a quick first ten if the occasion demands it of me
A different altitude can sometimes bring a different point of view
I climb up past the branches and read the stars for you
I remember September
Under the shelter of the Spanish Arch
An Atlantic gale blowing
Through your eyes glowing
Lust’s old gleam
At least it seemed to me
You said my boyfriend’s around the corner
Static electric skirt on your thighs
Your gaze coming out of the waves
Two circles imploding collapsing caves
Chorus
I’m the other side of the country
Still I can hear the Ocean’s roar
On the other side of the country
Still I can hear the Ocean’s roar
I know that civil servant doesn’t know how to pony
He’d leave your rock n roll soul bureaucratic and lonely
Your gaze coming out of the Waves
Two circles imploding collapsing caves
My heart’s tomb burst asundering
You were the one doing the plundering
Stopped all my years of wondering
When’s it going to happen for me?
Chorus 2
I’m the other side of the country
Still I can hear the ocean’s roar
I’m the other side of the country
Still I can hear the ocean’s roar
Out of our depths waves at my chin
Shore only bringing the wages of sin
Climbing the phantom trees of my youth
Is that the same snail that’s climbing up the root
My illusions and hair are starting to recede
I don’t know where I’m going, don’t know what I need
Dressing Gown Blues
In my dressing gown, it’s a quarter past two
I’ve got nowhere to be and nothing to do
I must be missing a bit everyone else has
Can’t remember what it felt like to be glad
I’ve got the dressing gown blues
Nothing in the world is true
I’ve got the dressing gown blues
I don’t know what I’m meant to do
I can only see so much through my own eyes
I need to look through the universal eyes
Devolve back to the ocean vent
Where life began in accident or intent
Never gone beyond
No matter how deep the hole
The imagination’s reach to rescue the soul
Back here at the start of the spiralling dance
I feel the endless promise of the second chance
