ATOM HEART MOTHER - 1970
IF
If I were the swan, I'd be gone
If I were the train, I'd be late (again)
And if I were the good man
I'd talk with you more often than I do
If I were to sleep I could dream
If I were afraid I could hide
If I go insane
Please don't put your wires in my brain
If I were the moon, I'd be cool
If I were the rule, I would bend
If I were a good man
I'd understand the spaces between friends
If I were alone, I would cry
And if I were with you, I'd be home and dry
And if I go insane
Will you still let me join in with the game.
SUMMER '68
Would you like to say something
Before you leave
Perhaps you'd care to state exactly
How you feel
We say goodbye before we've said hello
I hardly even like you,
I shouldn't care at all
We met just six hours ago,
The music was too loud
From your bed I came today
And lost a bloody year
And I would like to know, how do you feel
How do you feel
Not a single word we've said,
The lights stay without fears
Occasionally you showed a smile
But what was the need
I felt the cold far too soon
In the world of ninety-five
My friends they're in the sun,
I wish that I was there
Tomorrow brings another town,
Another girl like you
Have you time before you leave
To greet another man
Just to let me know, how do you feel
How do you feel
Goodbye to you
Shall it bring girls due
I had a love for one day
FAT OLD SUN
When that fat old sun in the sky is falling
Summer-evening birds are calling
Summer sun do you travel yet
The sound of music in my ears
Distant bells, new grown grass smells so sweet
By the river holding hands
You're old enough and lay me down
And if you see, don't make a sound
Pick your feet up off the ground
And if you hear as the warm night falls
The silver sound from a time so strange
Sing to me, sing to me
When that fat old sun in the sky is falling
Summer-evening birds are calling
Children's laughter in my ears
And then the sunlight disappears.
