the ravens all are watching from a vantage point nearby
apprehension creeping like a tube train up your spine
will the tight rope reach the end, will the final couplet rhyme
And it's high time, Cymbaline
please wake me
A butterfly with broken wings is falling by your side
the ravens all are closing in, there's nowhere you can hide
your manager and agent are both busy on the phone
selling coloured photographs to magazines back home
And it's high time, Cymbaline
please wake me
The lions converging where you stand,
they must have moved the picture plain
the leaves are heavy 'round your feet,
you hear the thunder of the train
suddenly it strikes you that they're moving into range
and Doctor Strange is always changing size
And it's high time, Cymbaline
please wake me
IBIZA BAR
I'm so afraid of the mistakes that I made
making every time that I lay
I feel like an oddball with a cut-off mind
So if you excuse me it's time
when the count is rhymed
and the story-line is fine
I've been amazed since the first day
I can't get a line too close
take me down, take me down
from the cell of my mind
and hear me slowly floating lonely somewhere
I live far enough on a shelf like a dress
on the end of all that reads like a sad song
leaves began to grow beautiful
and years they began
and hear me slowly floating lonely
flowing down too slow
Ummagumma ‘69
