Music from the body

Sea shell and stone

Surf rushes forward to feel the shingle with fingers of foam

Search for the gold

Over the landscape the mouth of a lifeline unfolds

Smooth and round and brown

See how the sunshine creeps over thistle and down

Hillock and hump, hummock and clump and mound

I feel a lump, see a bump, hear a bulboba sound

Hollow and valley and shadow and dimple and hill

Glisten and glimmer and shimmer and sparkle and still

Sunlight is warming the land before your eyes

And the sunrise is on your side

And the sunshine is on your thighs

Lady of stone, you are alone

Lady of stone, you are alone

Cry, Baby, cry

Grow, Baby, grow

Stand on your own

Holidays and happy days at home

Seaside, bike ride, fun land, hot sand, childhood floating by

Wonder why I feel so shy when you are passing by

The years of love and wine

Pass by the magic eye

Good time, lifetime

Good line, lifeline

Pass by the magic eye



Your child is growing fast

His future is your past

Good time, lifetime

Good line, lifeline

His future is your past



Slow down, look around

Memories come drifting down

Good time, lifetime

Good line, lifeline

Memories come drifting down



And I remember rather well

Gather round my chair and I will tell

Carriages were open to the breeze

Muffin boys and trams and trees

I recall when I was younger, world was not so small

Breathe in the air

Make for the meadow and savour the grass while it lasts

By and by

Spidery fingers of industry reach for the sky

Brick upon brick, stone upon stone they grow

Choking the atmosphere, oh, so incredibly slowly

Sulphur and carbon and hydrogen sulphide and lime

Fever, corrosion, and cover your cities with grime

Something is killing the land before your eyes

And the sunshine

Is not to blame

Could be the insane, inhumane games we play

Day by day

Riddle and fool

Mushrooming home in a crowd, I'm alone

Close your eyes, lie still

You are a mountain stream and I am a hill

Far, far away

There is a field of blossom and bees and new mown hay

Breathe in the air

Breathe in the air

Breathe in the air

Breathe in the air

Long live the child and the man

Long live the mother and the lad

The hills behind us and the sea

Reach out to welcome you and me

Valley deep and mountain tall

Lie upon the ground before us all

Strange are the colours of the turf

Heralding the rebirth of the earth

Gather all your energy and try

Give birth to a smile

Give birth to a smile

Give birth to a smile

(Everytime you think about it)

Give birth to a smile

Give birth to a smile

Give birth to a smile

Give birth to a smile

Give birth to a smile

Give birth to a smile

(Hear me tellin' you)

Give birth to a smile

(Give birth to a smile)

Give birth to a smile

(Give birth, give birth)

Give birth to a smile

Give birth to a smile

(Every day of your life)

Give birth to a smile

(Give a little birth to a smile)

Give birth to a smile
