the egg - i will be absorbed
Half of the time I spend thinking alone
While I'm working out songs or just lying in the sun
The magical sound that I long to express
Always just out of reach of my groping hands
Like the wanton muse
Beckoning to me
Vanishes before
I can see her face
How many times has a transient dawn's
Beauty faded away before you understand
And a woman whose smile is a lingering song
Bringing tears to your eyes though you dont know why
Like a fragrant light
Moves before your eyes
A million miles away
Never to return
Wafting past from my childhood
Hazy thoughts and sensations
These must hold the key to my life
I always find those indefinite things
If I manage to touch them they turn into stone
And the quality that kept me following them
Is only a sound that I knew all the time
If I ever find
What I'm looking for
I will be absorbed
And never write again
the egg - walking away
You've got me dancing and crying
Rolling and flying
Love don't let me go
You've got me drowning in a river
Cold but in fever
Love don't let me go
[Honestly]
[Feeling strange]
[Get on]
[And get it wrong]
[Feel right]
[Come slowly here]
[We walk alone]
[If we got it wrong]
the egg - seven is a jolly good time
I used to play in four time when I was very small
But recently I've realised the folly of it all
Supreme thoughts disturbed me, upset my decent mind
I started writing songs in all the rhythms I could
find
Like five...
Seven is a jolly good time, seven is a jolly good time
It's just a very good sign to play in seven time
I found it hard to follow, my foot became confused
My facial muscles echoed the rhythms that I used
And now I found my mental gate playing in a brew
I gathered all the notes up and jumped 'em through a
hoop
As in eleven...
Seven is a jolly good time, seven is a jolly good time
It's just a very good sign to play in seven time
the egg - the song of mcgillicudie the pusillanimous
Where should I go? What should I do?
Now that I know I can't get away from you
Everyone has something to hide from themselves
Now it's too late to go back - go right on
I feel so alone - I feel so alone...
What do I say? Where do I look? Isn't it great? Now...
Everything's gone
Black perfectly safe feel quite well
Why dont you just go to hell?
Back where you came from...
the egg - wall
Run around, run around
Never looking, never look, I fall
Stepping on, stepping on
Left in night, aero tights and awe
Let me go, let me know
Well, it?s easy to show
That you wanted to go
But you won?t let me know
And I wanted to go
But I wanted to let you know
Let me go, let me know
Well it?s easy to show
That you didn?t even know
That I wanted to go
But you know that I wanted
To let you go your way
Watching out, looking out
Always take me, always take me out
Running through, afternoon
Far away, I fall around with you
Let me go, let me know
Well, it?s easy to show
That you wanted to go
But you won?t let me know
And I wanted to go
But I wanted to let you know
Let me go, let me know
Well it?s easy to show
That you didn?t even know
That I wanted to go
But you know that I wanted
To let you go? (Repeat until fade)
the egg - you are all princes
My ears smoke, awaiting the word
My eyes, the apparition
Why don't you speak?
Why hold your arms so
for chasing crows down?
Mouth a hole of grief
(First the other/Thirsty of the) ghost of (.....)
Will they come down to me now?
Why don't you speak?
Why hold your arms so
for chasing crows down?
Mouth a hole of grief
Princes
You are all princes
