Hey buds below ...
Up is where to grow
Up with which below can't compare with.
Hurry - it's lovely up here ...
Life down a hole takes an awful toll,
What with not a soul there to share with
Hurry - it’s lovely up here!
Wake up, bestir yourself,
It's time that you disinter yourself
You’ve got a spot to fill - a pot to fill
And what a gift package of showers, sun and love
You’ll be met above everywhere with,
Fondled and sniffed by millions who drift by,
Life here is rosy - if you’re a posy
Hurry it's lovely here!
Climb up geranium,
It can’t be fun subterranium
On the exterior, it’s cheerier
RSVP peonies, pollinate the breeze,
Make the queen of bees hot as brandy
Come give at least a preview of Easter
Come up and see the good we're giving
Come up and see the grounds for living
Come poke your head out,
Open up and spread out,
Hurry it’s lovely here!
My dearest love who existed in a dream
Till this evening when a wave came and swept me out to sea
None of the loves that you have known
Could prepare you for the love raging everywhere in me
For all the arms that have covered you the hands
That have touched you and the lips
You have lingered on before
Added together would be less than an olive
In the banquet of love
I have in store
Love season to entice
Love with all the trimmings filled with spice
Love flavored to your whim
Served piping hot with all the trimmings...
Ooo...
For I’ll decode every breath and every sigh
Till your every lover's wish
Is fulfilled before it's made
Toss in some jealousy and doubt
Should it be required
Not to rest till there's nothing more desired
Thus loving as I do
Never, never will you ever be untrue
Having love with all the trimmings
Waiting home for you...
[Speaking]
Now that's what I call a man!
What are you gonna do about Warren?
That's the first time in my life I felt like the opposite sex.
What are you gonna do about Warren?
I wonder if he'll ask me tomorrow night.
What are you gonna do about Warren?
What am I gonna do about Warren?
Oh, Warren doesn't care.
Warren cares!
Warren cares, but I don't care!
You have to care because you're engaged to him
And you don't have to care about him
Because how will he know he cares about you?
Then what are you gonna do?
What did you say?
When you know there’s someone loving you
And you know there's someone you love too
And they’re not the same, what do you do?
Go to sleep, girl!
Go to sleep!
Go to sleep!
Close your eyes and hide from every care
When you wake up they may not be there
But tell me how can I sleep
Tell me who could
When you see your whole life tangled up good
I could drink, I could weep
But tell me how can I sleep?
Go to sleep!
Go to sleep!
And when you and someone have a date
(Which you made when you were thinking straight!)
And when you and someone stay out late
(It was bad too...)
Mmm...But I had to!
When they’re not the same who gets the gate?
(This is not the way to find a mate!)
Go to sleep, girl!
Go to sleep!
Go to sleep!
(Go to sleep, girl!
Go to sleep!
Go to sleep!)
Comes the dawn I may not feel the same
(Comes the dawn he may not know your name!)
In the sunlight who can see a flame?
But tell me how can I sleep, look what I’ve done
Mess around with two men
Soon you’ll have none
As you sow, so you reap
Which is why I can’t sleep, mmm...
Go to sleep!
Go to sleep!
Go to sleep!
Go to...
How could I be this at ease with him?
Pour out my heart as I please with him?
He isn’t you...
He isn’t you...
When will I feel so in bloom again?
When will his voice warm the room again?
He isn’t you...
He isn’t you...
Memories may fade in the shadows behind me
But there’ll be the dream
That will always remind me
A dream that I'll be forever comparing him to...
For love me, he may even die for me
Sweep every cloud from the sky for me
He may be king,
But he’ll never be you...
I don’t know why they redesigned me
He likes the way he used to find me
He likes the girl I left behind me
I mean he...
I mean me...
What did I have that I don't have?
What did he like that I lost track of?
What did I do that I don’t do the way I did before
What isn't there that once was there?
What have I got a great big lack of?
Something in me that
He could see that
Beckons to him no more
I' m just a victim of time
Obsolete in my prime
Out-of-date and outclassed, by my past!
What did he love that there’s none of?
What did I lose the sweet warm knack of?
Wouldn’t I be the late great me if I knew how?
Oh, what did I have I don't have now?
[Speaking]
Oh, I thought he kinda liked me.
But all this time he was thinking of someone else - me!
Oh, these questions!
He wasn't interested in me.
He was interested in me!
Oh God! Why did I have to come along?
I mean, what is so special about an English accent?
Cheerio! Oh, tallyho, doctor!
Yes, she gave me the jolly message.
Oh...Nuth... Nothing is wrong!
After all, what is time?
If you miss me in this life you can catch me in the next.
Come on an' watch! 'Ay wot, well Kippered Herring!
...
What did I have that I don't have?
What do I need big supply of?
What was the trick I did particularly well before?
What did he see that’s gone in me?
What did I use that now I'm shy of?
Why is the sequel never the equal?
Why is there no encore?
Where can I go to repair?
All the wear and the tear
Till I’m once again the previous me!
What did he like that I am not like?
What was the charm that I've run dry of?
What would I give if my old know-how still knew how?
Oh what did I know?
Tell me where did it go!
What, oh, what did I have
I don’t have now?
On a clear day
Rise and look around you
And you'll see who you are
On a clear day
How it will astound you
That the glow of your being
Outshines every star
You’ll feel part of
Every mountain sea and shore
You can hear
From far and near
A word you’ve never, never heard before...
And on a clear day...
On a clear day...
You can see forever...
And ever...
And ever...
And ever more. . .
