Mother Whale Eyeless (2004 Digital Remaster)

Mother Whale Eyeless (2004 Digital Remaster) - Brian Eno

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 have them to spare

Plugging holes in the zuider zee

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 is a man without his raincoat

In another country

With another name

Maybe things are different

Maybe theyre the same

Back on the train

The seven soldiers read the papers again

But the news it doesn't change

Swinging about through the creepers

Parachutes caught on steeples

Heroes are born

But heroes die

Just a few days

A little practice and some holiday pay

Were all sure

Youll make the grade

Mother of God if you care

Were 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

Theres a pie shop in the sky
