One Last Look Around The House Before We Go (Instrumental)
Wuthering Heights Out on the wiley, windy moors We'd roll and fall in green. You had a temper like my jealousy: Too hot, too greedy. How could you leave me, When I needed to possess you? I hated you. I loved you, too. Bad dreams in the night. They told me I was going to lose the fight, Leave behind my wuthering, wuthering Wuthering Heights. Heathcliff, it's me, Cathy, I've come home. I'm so cold! Let me in-a-your win-dow. Heathcliff, it's me, Cathy, I've come home. I'm so cold! Let me in-a-your win-dow. Ooh, it gets dark! It gets lonely, On the other side from you. I pine a lot. I find the lot Falls through without you. I'm coming back, love. Cruel Heathcliff, my one dream, My only master. Too long I roam in the night. I'm coming back to his side, to put it right. I'm coming home to wuthering, wuthering, Wuthering Heights, Heathcliff, it's me, Cathy, I've come home. I'm so cold! Let me in-a-your win-dow. Heathcliff, it's me, Cathy, I've come home. I'm so cold! Let me in-a-your win-dow. Ooh! Let me have it. Let me grab your soul away. Ooh! Let me have it. Let me grab your soul away. You know it's me, Cathy! Heathcliff, it's me, Cathy, I've come home. I'm so cold! Let me in-a-your win-dow. Heathcliff, it's me, Cathy, I've come home. I'm so cold! Let me in-a-your win-dow. Heathcliff, it's me, Cathy, I've come home. I'm so cold!
Experiment IV We were working secretly For the military. Our experiment in sound, Was nearly ready to begin. We only know in theory What we are doing: Music made for pleasure, Music made to thrill. It was music we were making here until They told us All they wanted Was a sound that could kill someone From a distance. So we go ahead, And the meters are over in the red. It's a mistake in the making. From the painful cry of mothers, To the terrifying scream, We recorded it and put it into our machine. Then they told us All they wanted Was a sound that could kill someone From a distance. So we go ahead, And the meters are over in the red. It's a mistake in the making. It could feel like falling in love. It could feel so bad. But it could feel so good. It could sing you to sleep ?"I'll bet my mum's gonna give me a little toy instrument!"? But that dream is your enemy. We won't be there to be blamed. We won't be there to snitch. I just pray that someone there Can hit the switch. But they told us All they wanted Was a sound that could kill someone From a distance. So we go ahead, And the meters are over in the red. It's a mistake we've made. Hmm hmm hmm, hmm hmm hmm. And the public are warned to stay off.
Them Heavy People Rolling the ball, (rolling) Rolling the ball, (rolling) Rolling the ball (rolling) To me. Rolling the ball, (rolling) Rolling the ball, (rolling) Rolling the ball (rolling) To me. They arrived at an inconvenient time. I was hiding in a room in my mind. They made me look at myself. I saw it well. I'd shut the people out of my life. So now I take the opportunities: Wonderful teachers ready to teach me. I must work on my mind. For now I realize: Everyone of us has a heaven inside. Them heavy people hit me in a soft spot. Them heavy people help me. Them heavy people hit me in a soft spot. Rolling the ball, (rolling) Rolling the ball, (rolling) Rolling the ball (rolling) To me. Rolling the ball, (rolling) Rolling the ball, (rolling) Rolling the ball (rolling) To me. They open doorways that I thought were shut for good. They read me Gurdjieff and Jesu. They build up my body, break me emotionally. It's nearly killing me, but what a lovely feeling! I love the whirling of the dervishes. I love the beauty of rare innocence. You don't need no crystal ball, Don't fall for a magic wand. We humans got it all, we perform the miracles. Them heavy people hit me in a soft spot. Them heavy people help me. (heavy heavy) Them heavy people hit me in a soft spot. Rolling the, rolling the, rolling the, rolling the. Them heavy people hit me in a soft spot. Them heavy people help me. (heavy heavy) Them heavy people hit me in a soft spot. Rolling the, rolling the, rolling the, rolling the. Them heavy people hit me in a soft spot. Them heavy people help me. (heavy heavy) Them heavy people hit me in a soft spot. Rolling the, rolling the, rolling the, rolling the. Them heavy people hit me in a soft spot. Them heavy people help me.
Don't Push Your Foot On The Heartbrake Emma's come down. She's stopped the light Shining out of her eyes. Emma's been run out on. She's breaking down In so many places, Stuck in low gears Because of her fears Of the skidding wheels, (The skid of her wheels she feels.) Skidding wheels, (The skid of her wheels she feels.) Spinning wheels. (Wheel-skidding feeling.) Her heart is there, But they've greased the road. Her heart is out there, But she's no control. Oh, come on, you've got to use your flow. You know what it's like, and you know you want to go. Don't drive too slowly. Don't put your blues where your shoes should be. Don't put your foot on the heartbrake. (She's losing, she's losing, she's losing, she's losing...) She's losing that inner flame. It was burning bright, But she's losing the light fast. She's only herself to blame. Well, take care of yourself, And remember Georgie. She's so O.D.'d on weeping She can hardly see That she's dropping beads. (Red, red glass is bleeding.) Dropping beads. (Red, red glass is bleeding.) Dropping beads. (Red, red on the parquet.) Her heart is there, But they've greased the road. Her heart is out there, But she's no control. Oh, come on, you've got to use your flow. You know what it's like, and you know you want to go. Don't drive too slowly. Don't put your blues where your shoes should be. Don't put your foot on the heartbrake. Oh, come on, you've got to use your flow. You know what it's like, and you know you want to go. Don't drive too slowly. Don't put your blues where your shoes should be. Don't put your foot on the heartbrake.
James And The Cold Gun James, come on home. You've been gone too long, baby. We can't let our hero Die alone. We miss you day and night. You left town to live by the rifle. You left us to fight, But it just ain't right to take away the light. Remember Genie from the casino? She's still a-waiting in that big brass bed. The boys from your gang are knocking whisky back, 'Til they get out of hand and wish they were dead. They're only lonely for the life that they led With their old friend. Ooh, James, are you selling your soul to a cold gun? Where lies your heart? It's not there in the buckskin, baby. It's not there in the gin That makes you laugh long and loud. You're a coward, James. You're running away from humanity. You're running away from reality. It won't be funny when they rat-a-tat-tat you down. Remember Genie from the casino? She's still a-waiting in that big brass bed. The boys from your gang are knocking whisky back, 'Til they get out of hand and wish they were dead. They're only lonely for the life that they led With their old friend. Ooh, James, are you selling your soul, Ooh... to a cold gun?
L'Amour Looks Something Like You You came out of the night, Wearing a mask in white colour. My eyes were shining On the wine, and your aura. All in order, we move into the boudoir, But too soon the morning has resumed. I'm hanging on the Old Goose Moon. You look like an angel, Sleeping it off at a station. Were you only passing through? I'm dying for you just to touch me, And feel all the energy rushing right up-a-me. L'amour looks something like you. The thought of you sends me shivery. I'm dressed in lace, sailing down a black reverie. My heart is thrown To the pebbles and the boatmen. All the time I find I'm living in that evening, With that feeling of sticky love inside. I'm hanging on the Old Goose Moon. You look like an angel, Sleeping it off at a station. Were you only passing through? I'm dying for you just to touch me, And feel all the energy rushing right up-a-me. L'amour looks something like you. L'amour looks something like you. (L'amour L'amour L'amour) L'amour looks something like you.
Running Up That Hill "If I only could, I'd be running up that hill. If I only could, I'd be running up that hill." "If I only could, I'd be running up that hill.

(yeah yeah yo) Do you want to hear about the deal that I'm making? (yeah yeah yo) You, it's you and me.

You don't want to hurt me [don't wanna hurt me - repeated echo'd L & R] (hee ohh) Unaware I'm tearing you asunder.
