A music video from "I Do, Dear, I Do" (an out-take from The Boatman's Call).
LYRICS
------
I wish you happy Christmas,
I do dear, I do
I wish for you the stars, babe
and I wish for you the moon
You can sit and you can drink your champagne
with your gibbering goon
I hope he's being good to you
I do ,dear, I do
May no ill wind blow your way
I wish that you will keep safe
up there in your litter, babe
with your ivory and apes
Things down here are fragmented, frankly,
they've exploded all over the room.
I think everything's a little off-centre, babe,
I do, dear, I do.
You said that to love me you must set me free, ah,
That may all be very well
Still I miss you, baby
more than words can really tell.
Sometimes I cannot sleep
the greatness of my hate for you
Sometimes I cannot sleep
for I miss you
May your day be as bright as the eyes
of the girl that I once knew.
May your sun be happy yellow,
and your sky be baby blue.
I miss your manic scratches/scratchings(?)
and your howling at the moon.
Ten steps behind me,
with your dust pan and your broom.
I hope you wish for me
all the things I wish for you -
health, hope and happiness,
the sun and the moon.
Say hello to the one
who really don't have a clue.
I'll be calling you soon,
I think I love you,
I do, dear, I do.
Note:
The song cuts off at the end. If anybody has the rumoured 8 minute version, I'd love it.
