The Listening Chair

歌詞

-9 months Dot 0-7yrs (the lullaby to make your own) Cat, blue, piano Are just some of the things I like So the more that I see of them in my day The better I sleep at night Mum, Dad, Giles, Lizzie, Juliet, Uncle James Are just some of the people I love So the more of all them I can get in my day The better I'll sleep at night I can moonwalk, build castles, play ping pong, talk to animals, hold my breath for a really long time And tell the future Are just 6 of the things I can do And the more I can fit of these things in my day The better I sleep at night The better I sleep at night 7-14yrs Composer Or maybe an astronaut This is what I'm gonna be when I grow up I know coz I sing out all through the day And fly through space by night The teasing, the fighting, the hospitals I don't want to go anymore I put a brave face on and battle through the day But I might cry myself to sleep I need more (Pinch pinch, punch punch, dancing round the car park after lunch) Gadgets or (Copycats, gold stars, cola cubes for good marks) Pocket money (Shy type, show-off, your mum's got a Mazda, so what?) I need more (Swap stickers, best friends, Knight Rider watch tell the time again) Gadgets or (The popular, blonde hair, all the pretty girls sit over there) Pocket money (Sisters in school, he's cool, our brother knows karate) 14-21yrs What do I do to make you hate me so much? Is it the clothes I wear? The way I speak? Wonderbra thrown round the German classroom You wouldn't understand I'll never live it down Hiding in the bushes Or tiptoeing down the corridor Stop it, you'll make me laugh Why would I ever need to know this? Somehow I'll get through I never want this to end This night, this music With you in my arms Switch in to the real world No idea what I'm doing But here it goes.. There she goes! 21-28yrs I've found a place, feels like home But I caught you kissing her So suddenly I'm on my own There's just not enough hours in the day But things are going great, I can't complain When I stumble to bed, I sleep like a baby Finding my feet Make love, make money, make a difference Finding my feet Connect, connect Finding my feet Make love, make money, make a difference How'd ya do that again? Connect, connect together 28-35yrs I find myself gazing out of the window for no reason When did I stop eating bread and cheese? I love cheese I want to have children But I don't want to have children.. you know? Something niggling A feeling I can't quite explain Online, offline Like I'm not really here Awake or sleeping Somehow I can't tell the difference Bright light outside Dark deep down within It's a cover up It was a cover up operation all along Honing in I'm honing in on the heart of it all Toughen up I've gotta toughen up coz I'm breaking it all apart What's at the heart? What's at the heart of it all? Who am I now? Who am I now?
