Nocturn.

Sweet dreams...

On this midsummer night
Everyone is sleeping
We go driving into the moonlight

Could be in a dream
Our clothes are on the beach
These prints of our feet
Lead right up to the sea
No one, no one is here
No one, no one is here
We stand in the Atlantic
We become panoramic

We tire of the city
We tire of it all
We long for just that something more

Could be in a dream
Our clothes are on the beach
The prints of our feet
Lead right up to the sea
No one, no one is here
No one, no one is here
We stand in the Atlantic
We become panoramic

The stars are caught in our hair
The stars are on our fingers
A veil of diamond dust
Just reach up and touch it
The sky's above our heads
The sea's around our legs
In milky, silky water
We swim further and further
We dive down... We dive down

A diamond night, a diamond sea
And a diamond sky...

We dive deeper and deeper
We dive deeper and deeper
Could be we are here
Could be in my dream

It came up on the horizon
Rising and rising
In a sea of honey, a sky of honey
A sea of honey, a sky of honey

Look at the light! And all the time it's a changing
Look at the light, climbing up the aerial!
Bright, white coming alive jumping off of the aerial
All the time it's a changing, like now...
All the time it's a changing, like then again...
All the time it's a changing
And all the dreamers are waking.

Kate Bush Instrumental.

There Goes a Tenner

Click


Okay, remember
Okay, remember
That we have just allowed
Half an hour
To get in, do it, and get out.

The sense of adventure
Is changing to danger;
The signal has been given.
I go in-
The crime begins.

My excitement
Turns into fright.

All my words fade
What am I gonna say?
Mustn't give the game away.

We're waiting-
We're waiting-
We're waiting.

We got the job sussed;
This shop's shut for business;
The lookout has parked the car,
But kept the engine running-
Three beeps means trouble's coming.

I hope you remember
To treat the gelignite tenderly for me.
I'm having dreams about things
Not going right-
Let's leave in plenty of time, tonight.

Both my partners
Act like actors:
You are Bogart,
He is George Raft,
That leaves Cagney and me.
("What about Edward G.?")

We're waiting,
We're waiting,
We're waiting.

You blow the safe up-
Then all I know is I wake up,
Covered in rubble,
One of the rabble.
Needs mummy-
("What's all this then?")
The government will never find the money.
("What's all this then?")

I've been here all day,
A star in strange ways.
Apart from a photograph
They'll get nothing from me,
Not until they let me see
My solicitor.

Ooh, I remember
That rich, windy weather
When you would carry me,
Pockets floating
In the breeze.

Ooh, there goes a tenner.
Hey, look! There's a fiver.
There's a ten-shilling note.
Remember them?
That's when we used to vote for him.
