Love & understanding

You don’t have to speak, she said, I like the way it is
Sink it any deeper, it might drown
Love may lie but lie was never told that made no sound
& lies that love divide the sea

Love & understanding flow so easily
all the words they sweep away are taken in
There’s no need to speak to take the rhythm in
A good apple hangs in wait on every tree

Now I want to know, he said, I want to know it all
All the facts hung on a line
I was almost there myself, but then I changed my mind
Nothing done so nothing told

Love & understanding flow so easily
all the words they sweep away are taken in
There’s no need to speak to take the rhythm in
A good apple hangs in wait on every tree
For you to be



Silent Revolution

One at a time
That’s what lives should be like
Name and place in line
And a title on a plate that no doubt’ll ever pry loose

But I can’t choose, I can’t even refuse, ‘cause I never know what I like
I’m not bright, not as good as I might, all my schedules are tight
And no plan is going to save me from

The last silent revolution that nobody wants to listen to
I know that it’s coming
Just a silent revolution that I feel in all the things I do
I know that it’s coming
I need a good talking-to

Straight down a line
That’s what thought should sound like
Time and place are right
So why not wear words like a slogan on a T-shirt

But I’m not hurt, always try to shoot first, & I’ve never been through any war
I’m a bore, I can never be sure that whatever I say isn’t taken for the man I am

But the silent revolution I’m expecting like a traffic jam
I know that it’s coming
Just a silent revolution that I never hope to understand
I know that it’s coming
I need a good talking-to


After all

All that’s over is not gone
We’ll change it all before it’s left alone
We’ll write it down & set the words in stone
& after all we need is said & done
There’ll be more time to make no sense at all
There’ll be more ways to make the neighbours fall
To prove our wisdom and declare our love

Come
Watch the plain with me
Down there
All there is to see
I know
It’s not as if we weren’t there ourselves
wearing our lives out
we get wise but never proud

All that’s ever left alone
We have it tried before we prove it wrong
We call it murder while it’s undergone
& after all we need is said & done
There’ll be new walls and ditches at our call
& brand-new names to learn by heart & love
To prove our strength and justify our law

Please
Terrors of the deep
Come
Visit in my sleep
I
Know the road is steep & in my dreams
I never own a car
I walk long but never far


Spike Milligan

Spike Milligan
He took days to write a line or two
Jokes grew icicles inside his head
But then he blew on them and made them new

He was cynical
As anybody bright must be
Folks kept looking at their feet for laughs
But then he hit the air and made them see

Carry on
Though it makes no sense at all you’ve got to try to make it sound well
Carry on
There’s a rise to every fall a funny twist to every tale

Spike Milligan
There was nothing that he couldn’t write
Fat dark days would trickle down the drain
But then the grating voices came to light

He grew lyrical
As anybody light can be
Fine-tuned lunacy and light trombones
In the general disharmony

Carry on
Though it makes no sense at all you’ve got to try to make it sound well
Carry on
There’s a rise to every fall a funny twist to every tale

And now there’s nothing words can do for you
No anagram or pun to pull you through
But if you find a good rhyme
You can call it paradise
(The planet’s taking over
The planet’s getting over you)
And if I walk that thin line
I might try you on for size
(The planet’s taking over
The planet’s getting over me)
