In My End Is My Beginning
If I am short she makes me tall,
If I am falling she breaks my fall,
If I am far away, lost and alone,
She comes to me and I'm home.
If I am knocking she lets me in,
If I am sinking she makes me swim,
If I am freezing, alone in the storm,
She comes to me and I'm warm.
If I am losing and on the run,
She comes to me and I've won.
You've got tears in your eyes and you say that I'm to blame,
Now you say I'm full of lies and you scandalise my name,
Now you tell me life's a bore and I am too,
Well ain't that just bonny for you.
Your mother's such a drag and your father's feet they stink,
And he's always chopping wood and she's always at the sink,
All they ever say is "how d'you do?",
Now ain't that just bonny for you.
Ain't that just bonny for you,
Ain't that just bonny for you.
You say you're gonna dance on my grave when I die,
But you ain't got a chance now and here's the reason why,
I don't think I'm going till I'm a hundred and three (wait and see),
Now ain't that just bonny for me.
Now you're on your knees with tears of blue,
Well ain't that just bonny for you.
Ain't that just bonny for you,
Ain't that just bonny for you.
Francoise, I need you,
I want you to remember what you said.
And are you gonna come back home,
Or are you gonna stay away,
Or are you just a dream that fades away in the day.
Francoise, I see you,
As the smoke drifts by my window, you are there.
(Francoise) calling out to me,
(Francoise) now you look so good,
(Francoise) can it really be,
(Francoise) is it really you,
(Francoise).
(Ooh, Francoise) no no no.
Oh, she is the female to my soul,
Yes she is (yes she is), yes she is,
And she is the mother of my child,
Yes she is (yes she is), oh yes she is.
And when I want to walk with her,
She's always by my side,
And when I look into her eyes,
I always see a light that is so very bright.
Oh, she is the female to my soul,
Yes she is (yes, she is), oh yes she is.
(Yes she is), oh yes she is, (yes she is).
And when I want to walk with her,
She's always by my side,
And when I look into her eyes,
I always see a light that is so very bright.
Oh, she is the female to my soul,
Yes she is (yes she is), oh yes she is.
Well her daddy ain't a rich man,
But he wears a rich man's clothes,
Bought her mama down from far out west,
The California rose,
They had a good time together,
Before they settled in the hills,
They had one little daughter,
Who grew into a southern belle.
With her hair all be-winded,
And her eyes full of sun,
Her mouth full of sweet things,
For all and everyone,
She's my Texas gold, she's my Texas gold,
And I'm glad to say she's staying with me tonight.
Mmm she is my sunshine, she is my rain,
She is my pleasure and she is my pain,
When I saw her in the mountain,
Pretty like a flower,
We seemed to float together,
She had the power.
With her hair all be-winded,
And her eyes full of sun,
Her mouth full of sweet things,
For all and everyone,
She's my Texas gold, she's my Texas gold,
And I'm glad to say she's staying with me tonight.
With her hair all be-winded,
And her eyes full of sun,
Her mouth full of sweet things,
For all and everyone,
She's my Texas gold, she's my Texas gold,
And I'm glad to say she's staying with me tonight.
With her hair all be-winded,
And her eyes full of sun,
Her mouth full of sweet things,
For all and everyone,
She's my Texas gold, she's my Texas gold,
And I'm glad to say she's staying with me tonight.
I touched his robe as he walked by,
And it was torn in many places,
His sandaled feet were full of dust,
And his hair hung in his eyes.
And then a girl ran from the crowd,
She carried water in a jug,
But one of the guards knocked it down,
And the water ran away.
And she cried "Lord, oh Lord I'm sorry",
But he smiled with such a smile,
That the burden upon his shoulders,
No longer seemed to weigh him down.
And he said child, that water feedeth,
Feedeth the earth which is my father's,
And though it has gone into the clay,
Through my father thou feedeth me.
And then the guards and all the people,
Who had been silent whilst he spoke,
Began to push him and provoke him,
As he stumbled upon his way.
She said that love never ends,
And lovers are also friends,
And I knew that I believed her,
From the moment I looked into her eyes,
To be loved, to be loved by her is proof enough.
We sat and we talked a bit,
But I was like a newborn babe,
Aware of all the details,
In the room and the sounds outside,
To be loved, to be loved by her is proof enough.
To be loved, to be loved by her is proof enough,
To be loved, to be loved by her is proof enough.
Can I lick the chocolate off your ice cream wrapper,
Can I touch my hat when you walk by,
Can I be of service to your vacuum cleaner,
When it rushes off with a mad look in its eye.
But I'll never make you cry,
Cross my heart and hope to die,
If you'll just like me like you used to do.
Can I read the headlines of your evening paper,
Can I sit beside you if the bus is full,
Can I help you on and off the escalator,
Can I smile at you when you try to play it cool.
But I'll never make you cry,
Cross my heart and hope to die,
If you'll just like me like you used to do.
But whatever you do to me,
Don't ever let me be cut off from your heart.
But I'll never make you cry,
Cross my heart and hope to die,
If you'll just like me like you used to do,
Oh baby, like me like you used to do,
Like me like you used to do.
Lovely ladies, lovely ladies,
Lovely ladies and things, make the world go round, yeah,
Pretty faces, pretty faces,
Pretty faces and things make the world go round, yeah.
Come on, don't tell me you've never kissed a lovely lady,
Come on, don't tell me you've never held a pretty lady's hand.
Lovely ladies, lovely ladies,
Lovely ladies and things, they make the world go round, yeah.
Pretty faces, pretty faces,
Pretty faces and things make the world go round.
Mmm lovely ladies, mmm lovely ladies,
Lovely ladies and things, they make the world go round, yeah,
Lovely ladies and things, they make the world go round,
I said lovely ladies and things, they make the world go round.
Lovely ladies, pretty faces,
Lovely ladies and things, they make the world go round,
Pretty faces and things make the world go round, yeah,
Lovely ladies and things, make the world go round.
Caterina, where's your sister,
Is she coming out to play,
Tell her that I'm waiting here,
She knows we're going out today.
Caterina, you're very sweet I know,
But oh what can I say,
Here is sixpence,
Go and tell her that it's our half-term holiday.
We were going to the zoo but not with you,
So go and have yourself some fun,
It's nice in the planetarium.
Oh Caterina, do not let the tears cloud up those big brown eyes,
Be a good girl,
We will let you feed the hippopotami.
We are going to the zoo, so are you,
But darling, please don't clap when they feed the lion,
And don't give sweets to the crocodiles.
Caterina, be a good girl,
You know you can when you want to be,
Jesus said that little children,
Live in heaven so you see.
Oh Caterina, where's your sister,
Is she coming out to play,
Tell her that I'm waiting here,
Because we're going out today.
Phoned my baby,
She wanted me to come and comfort her,
She didn't want no discotheques,
No big jump bands (?) surrounding her.
So we took a little walk along the way,
And we heard a sound from a small café,
It was a slow rock, slow rock 'n' rolling blues,
She said slow rock, that's all I wanna do.
Let it roll now, let it roll now.
We sat around, listening to the sound of a slow rock tune,
She said lets get up and dance for a while,
Because I got to be going soon.
So we danced to the rock 'n' roll,
Till the music got in our soul,
It was a slow rock, slow rock 'n' rolling blues,
She said slow rock, that's all I wanna do.
Let it roll now, let it roll now,
Let it roll now, let it roll now,
Let it roll now, let it roll now.
Slow rock 'n' roll, shake up your soul with the lights down low,
Slow rock, slow rock 'n' rolling blues,
It was a slow rock, hang down your rock 'n' roll shoes.
Let it roll now, let it roll now.
We don't want no violins,
We ain't in paradise,
Don't want no ring-a-ling,
Just 'cause it's oh so nice.
Slow rock 'n' roll, shake up your soul with the lights down low,
Slow rock, slow rock 'n' rolling blues,
Slow rock, hang down your rock 'n' roll shoes.
Let it roll now, let it roll now,
Let it roll now, let it roll now,
Let it roll now, let it roll now,
Let it roll now, let it roll now,
Let it roll now, let it roll now,
Let it roll now, let it roll now.
Music, music.
The rhythm of a rainbow,
A melody of tears,
A symphony of starshine,
A music of the spheres,
It only takes a moment,
To slip into your ears,
It's only music, it's only music.
The poetry of motion,
A harmony of form,
Are deeper than the ocean,
Brighter than the dawn,
It only takes a moment,
For a moment to be formed,
It's only music, it's only music.
Music, music,
Music, music.
Casanova twinkle lights,
On glitter beach parade,
With a hectic convolution,
Transistor serenade,
And everything is motion,
Even sleeping in the shade,
It's only music, it's only music.
Music, music,
Music, music.
Casanova twinkle lights,
On glitter beach parade,
With a hectic convolution,
Transistor serenade,
Everything is motion,
Even sleeping in the shade,
It's only music, it's only music,
It's only music, it's only music,
It's only music, it's only music,
It's only music, it's only music.
Before I go please let me mention,
That a point has a place but no dimension,
And a line has a length but no breadth,
And a line around a point is a circle,
Now you may wonder what this has to do,
With an ordinary fella such as you,
Or with a poor hard working office girl,
Or a ticket puncher at Waterloo,
And the answer is nothing at all.
But in my end is my beginning,
In my end is my beginning,
Let the sinners keep on sinning,
It doesn't matter anyway.
Now you may hold your head and say please don't tell me,
It's all so nebulous, I just can't think,
Can't you pour it down the kitchen sink,
Or can I spread it on a slice of toast,
Or can I eat it with my Sunday roast,
Or is it something that is going free,
That costs me nothing including VAT,
Well the answer is it's nothing at all.
But in my end is my beginning,
In my end is my beginning,
Let the sinners keep on sinning,
It doesn't matter anyway.
Yes in my end is my beginning,
Where the sun describes the ocean,
Where the point is set in motion,
It doesn't matter anyway.
But in my end is my beginning,
In my end is my beginning,
Let the sinners keep on sinning,
It doesn't matter anyway.
