Statistics :
It's just sex, death and money
Because she is a sea wolf
She will defend her litter
Because the dragon rises above
The winter sky so bitter
Because she has an assassin's eye
She can kill me dead
Just with that one killer look
I'm a fish landed,
Caught upon her hook
It's just the sea
Is full of sharks
And a harpoonist must cry
Out to new moon evangelists
Who in the sunlight die
But my soul is a balloonist
Readying to fly
Come join me in my basket
Blast it we can only try
Pennies in the hands of miners
Stocks and shares go underground
Anywhere you find shoe shiners
Liberty is lost and found
And the rainbows and the diamonds
Shining out in summer times
Can you see the Maypole flying
Colours of the flag in primes
Count me in or count me outwards
I am like the acrobat
Flying from all the high wires
Swinging high or falling flat
Don't make roller-skates for spiders
Don't make gates for garden climes
There the blue bird waits his fate
But love and hate the church bell chimes
Singing homage to Catalonia
Keep the Aspidistra flying
I am nearly home to ya
Even though my eyes are crying
In the house of the new spring
All the white things lie
Like worms on strings
And carpet baggers
Liars will their tongues soon tie
Baby you'll never know
What you meant to me
When you love somebody
You've got to set them free
And baby When all is said
and done then finally you'll see
When you love somebody
You've got to set them free
There are murderers in chains
And they sway in the arms of the sea
Well all that I know is
When you love somebody
You've got to set them free
To kill a love is kindness
But so close to this is cruelty
When you love somebody
You've got to set them free
And when the wheel turns
Then maybe you'll return to me
When you love somebody
You've got to set them free
If in truth my death is dying
Then like a bird out the window flying
Goes the spirit of the word
Hangs the Damoclesian sword
And if in hearts
The songs are sung
Of choosing right or wrong
That's hung
In the scales of a breathless lung
Love breathes, love is silence long
I should know their ways
Are shining
To the ever receding horizon
In the burning of a child's eye
In the breath of a mother's sigh
This world is not long for keeping
But who owns her or him in sleeping
When we sleep perchance of dreaming
That this world is soft and gleaming
Not dull and hard like knives cutting
But through stars our dreams are jutting
Pushing over far frontiers
Of clouds that drench like children's tears
Of all lost meaning in innocence drowning
Until tears turn to laughter, smiles from frowning
And in wastelands spring love's eternal waters
That soothe like a balm God's sons and daughters
Who play their parts in peace and slaughters
Oh what a world it is now
In crowds, you never feel lonely
In crowds
you're never far out
In crowds
Anyone can be phoney
In crowds your anonymity isn't in doubt
Don't you float like a cloud
Above it all
Like a cloud in the crowd
In the dance hall
Don't you know you stand out
In crowds
In crowds, you can never feel lonely
In crowds they all sing and they shout
And this is life and life only
Now this must be what life's all about
Beautiful hard
Like a diamond, a gem
Sparkling in my palm
Oh who ever needed a friend
But diamonds, diamonds, rubies and pearl
All these are an infinity in the world of my girl
She is lost in the emerald sea
I search the doom bar
And the mermaid banks
I roll my R's and I give thanks
For small mercies of the gem stone planks
I'll walk for you across the sea
My hard hearted love
My dragons scree
My belief is love
Is hammer and tongs
Oh what does it matter
If I'm right or wrong?
I've been broken in the field of love
The warrior queen has
slashed my shield
She has broken free
She's sailing down the Amazon
At a million miles an hour
And I am like a falcon trailing in her power
