Testo Mother Whale Eyeless - Brian Eno
Testo della canzone Mother Whale Eyeless (Brian Eno), tratta dall'album Taking Tiger Mountain By Strategy
I can think of nowhere I would rather be
Reading morning papers, drinking morning tea
She clutches the tray, and then we talk just like a kitchen-sink play
Nothing ventured, nothing gained
Living so close to danger even your friends are strangers
Don't count upon their company
Places for the fingers, places for the nails
Hidden in the kitchen, right behind the scales
What do I care? I'm wasting fingers like I had them to spare
Plugging holes in the Zuiderzee
Punishing Paul for Peter, don't ever trust those meters
What you believe is what you see
(In my town, there is a raincoat under a tree)
(In the sky, there is a cloud containing the sea)
(In the sea, there is a whale without any eyes)
(In the whale, there is a man without his raincoat)
In another country, with another name
Maybe things are different, maybe they're the same
Back on the trail, the seven soldiers read the papers and mail
But the news, it doesn't change
Swinging about through creepers, parachutes caught on steeples
Heroes are born, but heroes die
Just a few days, a little practice and some holiday pay
We're all sure you'll make the grade
Mother of God, if you care, we're on a train to nowhere
Please, put a cross upon our eyes
Take me, I'm nearly ready, you can take me
To the raincoat in the sky
Take me, my little pastry mother, take me
There's a pie shop in the sky
