Hiding All Away

You went looking for nur dear
Down by the sea
You found some Iittle silver fish
But you didn't find me
I was hiding dear hiding all the way
I was hiding dear I was hiding all the way
You went to the museum
You climbed a spiral stair
You searched for me all among
The knowledgeable air
I was hidden babe I was hiding all the away
I was hidden dear I was hiding all the away
You entered the cathedral
When you heard the solemn knell
I was not sitting with the gargoyles
I was not swinging from the hell
I was hiding dear I was hiding all away
I was hiding dear I was hiding all away
You asked an electrician
If he'd seen me round his place
He touched you with his fingers
Sent sparks zapping out your face
He was hiding there
I was hiding all away
I was not there dear I was hiding all away
You went and asked your doctor
To get some advice
He shot you full of Pethidine
And then he billed you twice
But I was hiding dear I was hiding all away
But I was hiding dear I was hiding all away
You approached a high court judge
You thought he'd be on the level
He wrapped a rag around your face
And beat you with his gavel
I was hiding habe I was hiding all away
I was hidden dem I was hiding all away
You asked at the local constabulary
They said he's up to his same old tricks
They leered at you with their baby blues
And rubbed jelly on their sticks
I had to get out of there babe I was hiding all away
I had to get out of there dear I was hiding all away
You searched through all my poets
From Sappho through to Auden
I saw the book fall from your hands
As you slowly died of boredom
I had been there dear
But I was not there anymore
I had been there now I'm hiding all way
You walked into the ball of fame
And approached my imitators
Some were stuffing their faces with caviar
Some were eating cold potatoes
I was hiding dear I was hiding all away
I was hiding dear I was hiding all away
You asked a famous cook if he'd seen me
He opened his oven wide
He basted you with butter babe
And made you crawl inside
I was not in there dear I was hiding all away
I was not in there dear I was hiding all away
You asked the butcher
Who lifted up his cleaver
Stuck his fist up your dress
Said he must've been mad to leave you
But I had to get away dear I was hiding all away
I had to get away dear I was hidden all away
Some of us we hide away
Some of us we don't
Some will live to love another day
And some of us won't
But we all know there is a law
And that law it is love
And we all know there's a war coming
Coming from above
There is a war coming
There is a war coming
There is a war coming
There is a war coming
There is a war coming
There is a war coming
There is a war coming
There is a war coming
There is a war coming
There is a war coming
There is a war coming
There is a war coming
There is a war coming
There is a war coming
