You went looking for me dear
Down by the sea
Saw some little silver fish
But you didn't find me
I was hiding dear
I was hiding all the way
Well I was hiding dear
I was hiding all the way
Well you went to the museum
You climbed up marble stair
You searched for me all among
The knowledgeable air
But I was hidden babe
I was hiding all the way
Well I was hidden babe
I was hiding all the way
Well you went to the cathedral
You heard the solemn knell
I was not sitting with Quasimodo man
I were swinging from the bell
I was hiding dear
I was hiding all the way
I was keeping well hidden man
I was hiding all the way
You went to the beautician
Thought he'd be discreet
He lay you on his bed
And he threw you on the street
I was hiding there
I was hiding all the way
Well I was hidden babe
I was hiding all the way
Well you went to see the doctor
You thought he'd be very nice
Well he shot you full of pethidine
Then he went and billed you twice
Well I was hidden babe
I was hiding all the way
I had to get out of there dear
I was hiding all the way
Well you asked a high court judge
If he'd see me
You thought he'd be on the level
But he wrapped a rag around your face
And he raked you with his gavel
I had to get out of there man
I was hiding all the way
I had to get out of there man
I was hiding all the way
You went to the policeman
You thought I might be in the nick
You said to the policeman
He rubbed day cream on his nightstick
I was hidden babe
I was hiding all the way
I had to get right out of there
I was hiding all the way
Went to the hall of fame
Approached my imitators
Left their caviar
So we ate cold potatoes
But I was hiding dear
I was hiding all the way
Well I was hidden dear
I was hiding all the way
Well you searched through all my poets
From Sappho through to Auden
Well I watched the book fall from your hands
As you slowly died of boredom
I had been there dear
I was hiding all the way
Well I had been there dear
I was hiding all the way
Well you went to a celebrity chef
He opened his oven wide
He stuck an onion up your ass
And he made you crawl inside
I had to get out of there babe
I was hiding all the way
I had to get right out of there babe
I was hiding all the way
You asked a butcher
He lifted up his cleaver
Stuck his fist up your dress
He said he must have been a man to leave you
I had to get out of there dear
I was hiding all the way
I had to get right out of there dear
I was hiding all the way
Some of us we hide away
Some of us we don't
Some will live to love another day
Babe you won't
But we all know there is a law
And that law it is love
And we all know there is 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
There is a war
There is a war coming
There is a war coming
There is a war coming
There is a war
