Robert Wyatt

Por que trabajas tu por all?
Por que no estas aqui en casa?
La la la, yo no se... solo me pregunto
Porque no soy feliz en la escuela?
Es que puedo confiar en alguien que no est?
Yo no se...

Es que puedo fumar cuando soy ma viejo?
Es que puedo creer en el idolo que queremos?
Digame si es justo que no estes aqui?
Para ayudarme, yo no se, solo me preguntan
Yo no se, no se, no se...

In the spring, I think of sex and means to ends
Summertime, I like to sit upon the grass
Autumn nights I go to parties with my friends
Winter time is when I think about the past

But of course I do all those things all the year 'round
I mean, all the good things are there to be found
It's all here, pick a bag and get to work
If you don't, your life in fact will go berserk
Or indeed be bored to death, which is worse?

If something's not worth saying
Not worth saying
Not worth saying
Say it...

If I were black and I lived here
I'd want to be a big man in the FBI ? or the CIA
But as I'm not, and of course I don't
And as I'm free, white and twenty-one
I don't need more power than I've got
...except for some times when I'm broke

Suspenders and stockings
Look more sexy than the tights girls are wearing
But even there, weren't the time wasted?
Time that could be spent completely nude, bare, naked?

Virgins are boring
They should be grateful for the things they're ignoring
Why be smug about the time wasted?
Time that could be spent completely nude, bare, naked?

Knickers and panties
We are groping under knickers and pants
But is it worth it, all that time wasted?
Time we could've spent completely nude, bare, naked?
With nothing on at all
Nothing, no clothes on
Nude, naked, bare...

In his organ solos
He feels 'round the keyboards
Knowing he must find the noisiest notes for you to hear
And when I know that he's found them
It feels so good...
But I still can't see why people listen, instead of doing it themselves

But I'm grateful all the same
You're very kind and I don't blame you
I don't mind if you just watch
In fact I'd welcome it, welcome it, welcome it...

On a dilemma between what I need and what I just want
Between your thighs I feel a sensation
How long can I resist the temptation?
I've got my bird, you've got your man
So who else do we need, really?

Now I'm here, I may as well put my other hand in yours
While we decide how far to go and if we've got time to do it now
And if it's half as good for you as it is for me
Then you won't mind if we lie down for a while, just for a while
Till all the thing I want is need
You are the thing I are, I knew

I want you more than ever now
We're on the floor, and you want more, and I feel almost sure
That cause now we've agreed, that we got what we need
Then all the thing us needs is wanting

I realized when I saw you last
We've been together now and then
From time to time - just here and there
Now I know how it feels from my hair to my heels
To have you haunt the horns of my dilemma
- Oh! Wait a minute! -

Over - Up - Over - Up - ... Down
Down - Over - Up - Over - ... Up

Living can be lovely, here in New York State
Ah, but I wish that I were home
And I wish I were home again - back home again, home again

There are places and people that I'm so glad to have seen
Ah, but I miss the trees, and I wish that I were home again
Back home again

The sun shines here all summer
Its nice cause you can get quite brown
Ah, but I miss the rain - ticky tacky ticky
And I wish that I were home again - home again, home again...

Living is easy here in New York State
Ah, but I wish that I were home again

Just before we go on to the next part of our song
Let's all make sure we've got the time
Music-making still performs the normal functions -
background noise for people scheming, seducing, revolting and teaching
That's all right by me, don't think that I'm complaining
After all, it's only leisure time, isn't it?

Now I love your eyes - see how the time flies
She's learning to hate, but it's just too late for me
It was the same with her love
It just wasn't enough for me
But before this feeling dies
Remember how distance can tell lies!

You can almost see her eyes, is it me she despises or you?
You're awfully nice to me and I'm sure you can see what her game is
She sees you in her place, just as if it's a race
And you're winning, and you're winning
She just can't undertsand that for me everything's just beginning
Until I get more homesick
So before this feeling dies, remember how distance tells us lies...

You may laugh at me, girl
Say I don't deserve
All the things I've had ? sad...

I should've known it wouldn't last
But things were happening so fast
I'll never know just how it stayed so long
I should've known it, should've seen at the time
But when you're happy, don't you know that you're blind?

I should've known it wouldn't last, no
But things were happening so fast
I'll never know just how it stayed so long
I should've known it, should've seen at the time
But when you're happy, you don't know that you're blind ?
Don't you know?
No ? yeah...

You may laugh at me, girl
Say I don't deserve
All the things I've had ? sad...

If I had to choose between the two
I'd rather be with you, I'd rather be with you
(Yes I would)

If you keep on breaking up my mind
You won't like what you find
Won't like what you see ? see, see...

I want you, love
I really do ? I do, I do...

Tell me now before you change your name
Why aren't you more insane?
You think you're civilised
Close your eyes, close your eyes

I know I cannot leave this place
full of memories
Things like the way they knew us
all over town

We used to walk the streets together
We could be seen
Past shops where people knew us
Yeah, people knew

I've got to choose between tomorrow
and yesterday
I can't stop to think about
my life, here today

Maybe I'll find someone to get you
off my mind
Take me away from here
and leave it, leave it all behind

Memories can hang you up and haunt you
all your life, you know
Get so you cannot stay
and yet cannot go

I could find out where she's gone
Today I feel so unhappy
Streets seem so empty now
I want you with me

It's my, my, my bed you're lying on
And it's my, my, my bed you're dying on
But if it's my head you're relying on

You gotta save yourself ? save yourself
Don't enslave yourself ? save yourself
Just to save yourself ? save yourself
Stay in your own bed at night

Because, girl, you know
That if I try to feed you
And keep you all week to make you feel secure
Then you won't leave my bed
Though you wanna stay fed
Will your heart remain, girl?
You know you can't make it
Without tryin' to fake it
And I believe, baby

You gotta save yourself ? save yourself
Don't enslave yourself ? save yourself
Just to save yourself ? save yourself
Stay in your own bed at night

Baby's fine, baby's mine
You understand that she's gone

I said hold me tight, stay tonight
My little woman has gone

Won't you let me walk with you
Talk with you, make love to you?
Won't you let me hold you tight?
Stay tonight!

Baby's fine, baby's mine
My little woman has gone ? yeah, she's a teeny-bopper!

I need you more than ever now
Where the trees grow
That's where my love died
That's where you can hide
That's how much I need you now

I need you more than leaves are brown
Where the sun shines on my feet
That's where my love died
That's where you can hide
That's how much I need you now

I need you more than ever now
Where the trees grow
That's where my love died
That's where you can hide, yeah
That's how much I need you now
That's how much I need you now

When I don't want you
Why do I stay here?
You're not the one
For me

Is it because girl
You know you say that you need me
And you cry when I say
When I say that I'll go?

And I'm tired
Baby, I'm tired by your tears
They don't reach my ears anymore
No, not anymore

Could almost see her eyes
Is it me she despises or you ? or you, girl?
You're awfully nice to me
And I'm sure you can see what her game is ? it's me, girl!

She sees you in her place
Just as if it's a race and you're winning ? me, girl!
She just can't undertsand
That for me everything's just beginning ? with me, girl!

But before this feeling dies
Remember that I told you lies...

Now I love your eyes ? on me, girl
See how the time flies ? past me, girl
She's learning to hate
But it's just too late for me ? for me, girl
It was the same with her love
It just wasn't enough for me ? for me, girl

But before this feeling dies
Remember that I told you lies...

David's on piano, and I may play on a drum
And we'll try to make the music work, we'll try to have some fun
But I just can't help thinking that if you were here with me
I'd get all my thoughts in focus and play more excitingly

I love you still, Caroline
I want you still, Caroline
I need you still, Caroline

If you call this sentimental crap you'll make me mad
'Cause you know that I would not sing about some passing fad
And if my attempts at rhyming aren't convincing to your ear
Then memories betray you through the passing of the year

I love you still, Caroline
I want you still, Caroline
I need you still, Caroline

You must think it doubtful that I mean the words I sing
Or that all attempts to reach you this way could not mean a thing
But you must admit we both thought we'd be man and wife
And that I could make you happy for the best part of your life

I love you still, Caroline
I love you still, Caroline
I love you still, Caroline
I love you still, Caroline
(repeat to fade)

This is the first verse
This is the first verse
This is the first verse, the first, the first
And this is the first verse, verse, first verse
And this is the first verse, verse
This is the first verse

And this is the chorus
Or perhaps it's a bridge
Or just another part of the song that I'm singing

And this is the second verse
It could be the last verse
This is the second verse, second verse, second verse
It could be the last verse, last verse
And this is the second verse
But it's probably the last one

And this is the chorus
Or perhaps it's a bridge
Or just another key change
Never mind, it doesn't hurt
It only means that I lost faith in this song
'Cause it won't help me reach you...

Like so many of you
I've got my doubts about how much to contribute
To the already rich among us...
How long can I pretend that music's more relevant
Than fighting for a socialist world?

Someone watching us - knows I'm bad
Black plastic along blue-black wall
Small square of places where dead men can look through
Run along and see the prison bar
Throw a stone across an empty road
You and your friend will be found
Outside the daydream
I've woken up to watch you sleep...

What on Earth are you doing, God?
Is this some sort of joke you're playing?
Is it 'cause we didn't pray?
Well I can't see the point of the word without the action
Are you just hot air, breathing over us and over all?
Is it fun watching us all?
Where's your son? We want him again!

And next time you send your boy down here
Give him a wife and a sexy daughter
Someone we can understand
Who's got some ideas we can use, really relate to
We've all read your rules, tried them
Learnt them in school, then tried them
They're impossible rules
And you've made us look fools
Well done, God, but now please...

Don't hunt me down, for Heaven's sake!
You know that I'm only joking, aren't I?
Pardon me, I'm very drunk!
But I know what I'm trying to say
And it's nearly night time
And we're still alone
Waiting for something unknown, still waiting
So throw down a stone, or something
Give us a sign, for Christ's sake!

It's brown, lives in the ground, it's myopic... (laughter)
It's brown, lives in the ground, it's myopic... (laughter)
It's the mole!!

There's a place where I can hide away
Just for a little holiday
In the house of a friend we know and love
Called Nan True's Hole

- All right darlin' let's get on, we haven't got much time.
- Um... get on with what?
- Well, darlin' you know what, um, what we're here for don't you?
- A-actually, I'm not quite sure.
- What do you mean, not quite sure? What did you come here for?
- I came here, uh, to find out.
- You mean... How old are you ?
- Well, I'm... I'm near... getting near forty, actually.
- What, and you mean you don't know? How come you don't know? What've you been doing all your life?
- Well, I've had a very nice life. I've had a very good life, but I must admit I don't know what I'm here for.
- Well, you're a funny one, aren't you? All right, we'll have to help you out then. First of all... I think first of all you'd better take off your trousers.
- Uh, take off my trousers, yes... How's that?
- That's a start. Now, come over here... That feels nice, doesn't it?
- Oh yes, very nice. Very nice. Lovely... That's lovely... Ooh, that is nice...

- Well, how was that?

There's a place where I can hide away
Just for a little holiday
In the house of a friend we know
Called Nan True's Hole

Look, see the people at the top
Come down the right hand lane
In Belgium, Greece and Portugal
In France and sunny Spain

My radical cheek is soft and meek
But I'll kill if I must
I'd rather have the Chinese here
Than Europe on me thrust
I'd rather have the Chinese here
Than Europe on me thrust

You may say I'm muddled up
Should stick to chords and tunes
But he shan't stay there
While he lives in fear of rich and pompous goons
But he shan't stay there
While he lives in fear of rich and pompous goons

A home for the warm and a home for the wonderful!
I'll show you mine, if you'll show me yours!
A home for the warm and a home for the wonderful!
I'll show you mine, if you'll show me yours!

Seaweed tangled in our home from home
Reminds me of your rocky bottom
Please don't wait for the paperweight
Err on the good side
Touch us when we collapse
Into the water we'll go head over heel
We'll not grow fat
Inside the mammary gland

Seaweed tangled in our home from home
Reminds me of your rocky bottom
Please don't wait for the paperweight
Err on the good side
Touch us when we collapse
Into the water we'll go head over heel
A head behind me
Buried deep in the sand

I'm not your larder,
jammy jars and mustard.
I'm not your dinner,

And what's a bololey
when it's a folly?
I'm not your larder,
I'm your dear little dolly.
But when plops get too helly
I'll fill up your belly.
I'm not your larder,
I'm Alife your guarder.

Orlan don't tell me, oh no
Don't say oh God
Don't tell me oh dear me
Heaven's above oh no
I can't stand it
Stop
Please oh deary me
What in heaven's name?
Oh blimey mercy me
Woe are we oh dear
Oh stop it
Stop it

You've been so kind
I know I know
So why did I hurt you?
I didn't mean to hurt you
But I'll keep trying
And I'm sure you will too

I want it I want it I want it give it to me
I give it you back when I finish the lunchtea
I lie in the road try to trip up the passing cars
Yes me and the hedgehog
We bursting the tyres all day
As we roll down the highway towards the setting sun

Orlan don't tell me, oh no
Don't say oh God
Don't tell me oh dear me
Heaven's above oh no
I can't stand it
Stop
Please oh deary me
What in heaven's name?

So why did I hurt you?
I didn't mean to hurt you
But I'll keep trying
And I'm sure you will too

I want it I want it I want it give it to me
I give it you back when I finish the lunchtea
I lie in the road try to trip up the passing cars
Yes me and the hedgehog
We bursting the tyres all day
As we roll down the highway towards the setting sun

In the garden of England dead moles lie inside their holes
The dead-end tunnels crumble in the rain underfoot
Innit a shame?

Can't you see them?
Can't you see them?
Roots can't hold them
Bugs console them

I fight with the handle of my little brown broom
I pull out the wires of the telephone
I hurt in the head and
I hurt in the acting bone
Now
I smash up the telly with remains of the broken phone
I fighting for the crust of the little brown loaf
I want it I want it I want it give it to me
(I give it you back when I finish the lunchtea)
I lie in the road try to trip up the passing cars
Yes me and the hedgehog
We bursting the tyres all day
As we roll down the highway towards the setting sun
I reflect on the life of the Highwayman yum yum
Now I smash up the telly and what's left of
The broken phone

You look different every time you come
From the foam-crested brine
Your skin shining softly in the moonlight
Partly fish, partly porpoise, partly baby sperm whale
Am I yours? Are you mine to play with?
Joking apart - when you're drunk you're terrific when you're drunk
I like you mostly late at night you're quite alright

But I can't understand the different you in the morning
When it's time to play at being human for a while please smile!
You'll be different in the spring, I know
You're a seasonal beast like the starfish that drift in with the tide
So until your blood runs to meet the next full moon
You're madness fits in nicely with my own
Your lunacy fits neatly with my own, my very own

We're not alone

Here's a song for Clean Machine Kevin Majorca
He's found his own way of "live in Majorca"
Don't walk, don't drink
Don't talk, just think
Heaven on Earth he'll get there soon

Kevin's highly unlikely to get ill
At least as long as he lies perfectly still
He eats brown rice and fish ? how nice
Heaven on Earth, he'll get there soon

Good and bad go so well together in his tunes
He wrote a song and called it the weather ? or not
He's Lucky or Pozzo, Estragon and Vladimir
Waiting for something that's already there
Heaven on Earth or is it the moon?

Why, why, why is he sleeping?
Why is the trumpeter weeping?
Kevin maybe asking to get back into my dreams
His voice is so weak now and the customers are screaming
Heavens above, we can't hear what you're saying

We've got something to tell you
Hold on we wanted to thrill you
Reckons it's so nice and it will make you feel better
Something in the nature of a Lullabye Letter

Kevin on Earth there'll be one
Kevin on Earth make room for one
Kevin himself he'll be in
Kevin on Earth, be here
Or you could be now
Or is he found, in Herne Bay...

Por que trabajas tu por all?

La la la, yo no se... solo me pregunto
Porque no soy feliz en la escuela?
Es que puedo confiar en alguien que no est?

Es que puedo creer en el idolo que queremos?

Famous parabolic versions
Songs that promise:
Beauty, sleep, love, sadness
Do I dream that something's missing?
Hungry, thirsty, open off-peak mind
Give me the truth, give me the truth,
give me the truth, tell me...

Songs and verses
Handy captions
Photographs of:
Real-life action, horror, madness
Can it be that something's happening?
Wash me, paint me, but please don't taint me
Give me a chance, give me chance,
give me a chance...

When I was young, the sky was blue
And everyone knew what to do
But now it's gone, the telly's here
Mass media, the sewer too

Universal maximillion
Eight rare cases
Chickenpox and crawling gladness
Seemingly it's nothing happening
Cure my doctor
Don't swallow him down
Give me the cure, give me the cure,
give me the cure...

The night was cool, the moon was bright
The air was clear with oxygen
The stars were there, and in my eyes
Were thousands of chrysanthemums

Don't use magnets ?
Geophysics carry you back
Wholesome, healthfood, homepride
Satisfied
Something outside gives out hunger
Face my mirror
Electricity...

In the spring, I think of sex and means to ends
Summertime, I like to sit upon the grass
Autumn nights I go to parties with my friends
Winter time is when I think about the past

But of course I do all those things all the year 'round
I mean, all the good things are there to be found
It's all here, pick a bag and get to work
If you don't, your life in fact will go berserk
Or indeed be bored to death, which is worse?

If something's not worth saying
Not worth saying
Not worth saying
Say it...

I can tell...
I can tell by the ring of a bell
A chime that is clear and true
But if it's cracked, the sound is flat
Like happiness that's untrue

Out of the East, the sun flew West
Trailing its golden spray
My heart burns, when fortune turns
The trail to light my way

Days go by, I watch the sky
My eyes forever quest
The sun returns, though my hope yearns
Forever things point the rest

Sun heart burns
Moon glow turns
Stars will trade
Hope for happiness
Hope for happiness
Hope for happiness, happiness, happiness

Flowers grow wild, just for the child
Sniff this sprinkling bloom
When you grow up, hope colours up
The things that cause us gloom

Tell can you now how fun is made?
It's how happiness is really found
Look for advice, be told more than twice
By people all around

Sun heart burns
Moon glow turns
Stars will trade
Hope for happiness
Hope for happiness
Hope for happiness, happiness, happiness

I can tell...
I can tell by the ring of a bell
A chime that is clear and true
But if it's cracked, the sound is flat
Like happiness that's untrue

Out of the East, the sun flew West
Trailing its golden spray
My heart burns, when fortune turns
The trail to light my way

Days go by, I watch the sky
My eyes forever quest
The sun returns, though my hope yearns
Forever things point the rest

Sun heart burns
Moon glow turns
Stars will trade
Hope for happiness
Hope for happiness
Hope for happiness, happiness, happiness

Flowers grow wild, just for the child
Sniff this sprinkling bloom
When you grow up, hope colours up
The things that cause us gloom

Tell can you now how fun is made?
It's how happiness is really found
Look for advice, be told more than twice
By people all around

Sun heart burns
Moon glow turns
Stars will trade
Hope for happiness
Hope for happiness
Hope for happiness, happiness, happiness

If I were black and I lived here
I'd want to be a big man in the FBI ? or the CIA
But as I'm not, and of course I don't
And as I'm free, white and twenty-one
I don't need more power than I've got
...except for some times when I'm broke

I've got something to tell you
Hold on, I wanted to thrill you
It's nice, makes you feel better
It's called a Lullabye Letter
Hold tight, I'm not trying to con you
Get ready, I'm going to lay it on you

You're the sweetest thing I see
I'm telling you it's no lie

I've got lights in my brain, girl
We'll have fights in the rain, girl
You'll be good/bad together
Writing songs and call that the weather
If you've got something to sing me
Four o'clock's the best time to ring me

You're the sweetest thing I see
I'm telling you it's no lie

I've got something to tell you
Hold on, I wanted to thrill you
It's nice, makes you feel better
It's called a Lullabye Letter
Hold tight, I'm not trying to con you
Get ready, I'm going to lay it on you

You're the strangest scene I see
I'm telling you it's no lie

You're the sweetest thing I see in my life...

Suspenders and stockings
Look more sexy than the tights girls are wearing
But even there, weren't the time wasted?
Time that could be spent completely nude, bare, naked?

Virgins are boring
They should be grateful for the things they're ignoring
Why be smug about the time wasted?
Time that could be spent completely nude, bare, naked?

Knickers and panties
We are groping under knickers and pants
But is it worth it, all that time wasted?
Time we could've spent completely nude, bare, naked?
With nothing on at all
Nothing, no clothes on
Nude, naked, bare...

It's my, my, my bed you're lying on
And it's my, my, my bed you're dying on
But if it's my head you're relying on

You gotta save yourself ? save yourself
Don't enslave yourself ? save yourself
Just to save yourself ? save yourself
Stay in your own bed at night

Because, girl, you know
That if I try to feed you
And keep you all week to make you feel secure
Then you won't leave my bed
Though you wanna stay fed
Will your heart remain, girl?
You know you can't make it
Without tryin' to fake it
And I believe, baby

You gotta save yourself ? save yourself
Don't enslave yourself ? save yourself
Just to save yourself ? save yourself
Stay in your own bed at night

You may laugh at me
Say I don't deserve
All the things I've had
Sad...

In his organ solos
He feels 'round the keyboards
Knowing he must find the noisiest notes for you to hear
And when I know that he's found them
It feels so good...
But I still can't see why people listen, instead of doing it themselves

But I'm grateful all the same
You're very kind and I don't blame you
I don't mind if you just watch
In fact I'd welcome it, welcome it, welcome it...

I did it again.
I did it again.
I did it again.
I did it again.
I did it again.
I did it again.
I did it again.
I did it again.
I did it again.
I did it again.
I did it again.
I did it again.
I did it again.
I did it again.
I did it again.
I did it again.
I did it again.
I did it again.
I did it again.
I did it again.
I did it again.
I did it again.
I did it again.
I did it again.
I did it again.
I did it again.
I did it again.
I did it again.
I did it again.
I did it again.
I did it again.
I did it again.
I did it again.
I did it again.
I did it again.
I did it again.
I did it again.
I did it again.
I did it again.
I did it again.
I did it again.
I did it again.
I did it again.

Here's to the Fidel few
Clearing road and landslide
Children of history
Changing from the inside
Non just because Che Guevara showed the way
Not just to shame the C.I.A.
Everyone needs to feel at home
Nobody wins who fights alone

Here's to the N.J.M.
Planning for the future
Women and men who dared raise our aspirations
Not just because Maurice Bishop told them to
Not just to change the western view
Everyone needs to feel at home
Nobody wins who fights alone

And here's to our friends like Chris
working in the classrooms
London to Mozambique
Nursing wounds of empire
Not just because revolution paved the way
Not just to be there on the day
Everyone needs to feel at home
Nobody wins who fights alone

Is it worth it?
A new winter coat and shoes for the wife
And a bycicle on the boy's birthday
It's just a rumour that was spread around town
By the women and children
Soon we'll be shipbuilding
Well I ask you
The boy said Dad they're going to take me to task
But I'll back by Christmas
It's just a rumour that was spread around town
Somebody said that someone got filled in
For saying that people that killed in
The result of the shipbuilding
With all the will in the world
Diving for dear life
When we could be diving for pearls
It's just a rumour that was spread around town
A telegram or a picture postcard
Within weeks they'll be re-opening the shipyard
And notifying the next of kin once again
It's all we're skilled in
We will be shipbuilding
With all the will in the world
Diving for dear life
When we could be diving for pearls
