I have opened my eyes to see the world that surrounds me daily
I refuse to be led by the majority can't compromise I and I
To pass judgement
Judgement will be passed upon you
I will stand up for who I am
(Never moved)
Never moved by condemnation
No one is placed higher than another no matter race or creed or gender
We must teach forgiveness and compassion for all life
Through understanding of our differences
We will find respect
(For one another)
We are all flesh and blood
No one is placed higher than another no matter race or creed or gender
We must teach forgiveness and compassion for all life
I am not afraid to speak my mind
(No matter) the consequences
Stay true to myself through the humble eyes of a child
We will realize true equality
They cannot take me from me
They cannot take you from you
They cannot take I from I
They cannot take I from I
They cannot take me from me
They cannot take you from you
They cannot take I from I

Of common sense—

And by the way, how's your wife?
Your holidays were spent in Spain
You went by train
You'll go again

(Spoken)
Have you seen me bull-fight poster on the wall?
Do you know the happy memory it recalls?
Here's a photograph of me and my son Ted
That's me cousin with his hanky on his head
We booked in at our hotel just after two
and met a family from Bradford that we knew

Ooh, a melody! **burp**

My pink half of the drainpipe
Separates next door from me
My pink half of the drainpipe
Oh mamma, belongs to me

(Rodney’s vain saxophone solo, as promised.)

My pink half of the drainpipe
Semidetached-all
My pink half of the drainpipe
Oh mamma, belongs to moi

(Spoken)
I have a sister in Toronto who's a nurse
And I've had a bit of bother laying turf
It's Life not books that's taught me all I've learned
Whoop! In the oven my rice pudding's getting burned
Here, have you seen the new attachment on me drill?
I must have the cat put down ‘cos he's ill

Hey, neighbor!

My pink half of the drainpipe
I may paint it blue
My pink half of the drainpipe
Keeps me safe from
you.

I'm a wobbly jelly, you're a pink blancmange
I'm a sherry trifle, you're a chocolate sponge
Your Dad wears a paper hat, mine inflates balloons
Whoops (**slod-a-dod-flip-flop**) here comes a spoon

(Spoken:) My pink half of the drainpipe separates me from the incredibly fascinating story of your life and every day-to-day event in all its minute and tedious attention to detail, and was it a Thursday or a Wednesday or—oh no it wasn’t so who cares anyway ‘cos I do not so Norman, if you're normal I intend to be a freak for the rest of my life and I shall baffle you with cabbages and rhinoceroses in the kitchen, incessant quotations from "Now We Are Six" through the mouthpiece of Lord Snooty's giant poisoned electric head. So there!…

i said "we'll leave now,
you can pack our things
Let me get the bill and i can make it straight."
it was the same as yesterday.

we've been gone
and the miles stretched down the long road
we moved as fast as we could

through the heat of the desert
and the cruelty of that Buick's seat
just to keep on

that night we laid on the floor of the desert
but i could barely sleep, yea i had this dream
there was a man in a black car, with a man in th back seat
and i woke up in a cold sweat with her lyin next to me

we've been gone
and the miles stretched down the long road
we moved as fast as we could

through the heat of the desert
and the cruelty of that Buick's seat
just to keep on

we sat on the corner of memphis and 53rd
as they filled the tank, we had a drink
she whispered, "let's get moving"

that night we night laid on the floor of the desert
but i still couldn't sleep.
there was man in a black in black car with a man in the back seat
i'd wake up in a cold sweat with her lying next to me.

I would read that page everyday for the next year.

She sang a short tune.
And I came from her soft touch and slept.

We sat on a shoreline watching wind scalp the white off the waves.
Sitting on a shoreline, and if I could do it, I'd dog-ear this page.
We spoke about growing old and filling the future's empty stage.

I hope the weather holds,
but you don't need the sun to make you shine.
These island towns don't care for city folk,
but I think we can starve the city from our minds.

I know we won't want for much,
It's just me and you and a bed and a shoreline.

Wide eyed and hopefully wild.

We barely remember what came before this precious moment,
Choosing to be here right now. Hold on, stay inside...
This body holding me, reminding me that I am not alone in
This body makes me feel eternal. All this pain is an illusion.
