  • Intro
    There was a boy who came into this world
    At the hands of a lady woman in a holy place
  • He wore a red coat and walked a bulldog
    Saw them reflected in the mirror of the lakes
    Lived in he shadow of the mountains
  • With the smells of disinfectant, dusty old leather
    And the polished wood of his bed
    No more than a baby feeding swans on the river
  • Holding the hand of his mother
    And the wax paperbag of yesterdays bread

    And his father on the other side of the world
  • On the ships railings and some far away tide
    With the silent dry tear of home thoughts from abroad
    In his far away eyes
  • In his far away eyes

  • Part 2
    The smell of the wax on the wooden floor
    Mixture of polish and soap
  • No children to fear or to play with
    Rows of empty hooks for the coats
    An upright piano and the boys in the choir
  • Still remind him of just before he was born
    Remind him of just before he was breathing
    Strange misty visions of God

  • Turn the cities into families
    Into villages of souls
    Hovering in the air while they're sleeping
  • With their houses invisible
    Race the moon between the buildings
    Running as fast as I could run
  • Send to me the ghosts of Christmas
    Whispering: "You're the only one"

    And one day as the boy lay sleeping in
  • The sunshine of a half remembered afternoon
    A cloud of bee's with no particular aim, and no brain
    Found the boy, decided that his time had come
  • Came down from the sky
    Stung him in the sky
    Again and again
  • Blue Pain
    Screaming like baptism
    Intraveinous, Jesus!, like being chosen
  • Blue pain from something with no brain
    I can't explain
    It's happening again
  • It's happening again

    Oh mummy, daddy, won't you sit a while with me
    Oh mummy, daddy, will you jog my memory
  • Tell me
    Tall tales of Montego Bay, Table mountain, Flying Fish
    Banana Spiders, Pots of Pain
  • And the sun on the equator
    Setting like an ember thrown into deep water
    From crimson to black
  • But coming back
    Tomorrow
    On the horizon
