Lyrics Original Translation Bilingual
Walking across the sitting-room, I turn the television off Sitting beside you, I look into your eyes As the sound of motor cars fades in the night time I swear I saw your face change, it didn't seem quite right And it's... hello babe, with your guardian eyes so blue Hey my baby, don't you know our love is true? Coming closer with our eyes, a distance falls around our bodies Out in the garden, the moon seems very bright Six saintly shrouded men move across the lawn slowly The seventh walks in front with a cross held high in hand And it's... hey babe, your supper's waiting for you Hey my baby, don't you know our love is true? I've been so far from here, far from your warm arms It's good to feel you again It's been a long long time... Hasn't it? I know a farmer who looks after the farm With water clear, he cares for all his harvest I know a fireman who looks after the fire You, can't you see he's fooled you all? Yes, he's here again Can't you see he's fooled you all? Share his peace, sign the lease He's a supersonic scientist He's the guaranteed eternal sanctuary man Look, look into my mouth he cries And all the children lost down many paths I bet my life you'll walk inside Hand in hand, gland in gland With a spoonful of miracle He's the guaranteed eternal sanctuary (We will rock you, rock you little snake) (We will keep you snug and warm) Wearing feelings on our faces while our faces took a rest We walked across the fields to see The Children of The West But we saw a host of dark skinned warriors standing still below the ground Waiting for battle The fight's begun, they've been released Killing foe for peace Bang, bang, bang Bang, bang, bang... And they're giving me a wonderful potion 'Cause I cannot contain my emotion And even though I'm feeling good Something tells me I'd better activate my prayer capsule Today's a day to celebrate The foe have met their fate The order for rejoicing and dancing Has come from our warlord Wandering in the chaos the battle has left We climb up a mountain of human flesh To a plateau of green grass and green trees full of life A young figure sits still by a pool He's been stamped "Human Bacon" by some butchery tool He is you... Social Security took care of this lad We watch in reverence, as Narcissus is turned to a flower (A flower?) If you go down to Willow Farm To look for butterflies, flutterbyes, gutterflies Open your eyes, it's full of surprise Everyone lies like the fox on the rocks And the musical box Oh, there's Mum & Dad, and good and bad And everyone's happy to be here There's Winston Churchill dressed in drag He used to be a British flag Plastic bag, what a drag The frog was a prince The prince was a brick, the brick was an egg The egg was a bird (Fly away you sweet little thing, they're hard on your tail) Hadn't you heard? (They're going to change you into a human being!) Yes, we're happy as fish and gorgeous as geese And wonderfully clean in the morning We've got everything, we're growing everything We've got some in, we've got some out We've got some wild things floating about Everyone, we're changing everyone You name them all, we've had them here And the real stars are still to appear (ALL CHANGE!) Feel your body melt; Mum to mud to mad to dad Dad diddley office, Dad diddley office, You're all full of ball Dad to dam to dum to mum Mum diddley washing, Mum diddley washing You're all full of ball Let me hear you lies, we're living this up to the eyes Ooee-ooee-ooee-oowaa Momma I want you now And as you listen to my voice To look for hidden doors, tidy floors, more applause You've been here all the time Like it or not, like what you got You're under the soil (the soil, the soil) Yes, deep in the soil (the soil, the soil, the soil, the soil!) So we'll end with a whistle and end with a bang And all of us fit in our places With the guards of Magog, swarming around The Pied Piper takes his children underground Dragons coming out of the sea Shimmering silver head of wisdom looking at me He brings down the fire from the skies You can tell he's doing well by the look in human eyes Better not compromise, it won't be easy 666 is no longer alone He's getting out the marrow in your back bone And the seven trumpets blowing sweet rock and roll Gonna blow right down inside your soul Pythagoras with the looking glass reflects the full moon In blood, he's writing the lyrics of a brand new tune And it's... hey babe, with your guardian eyes so blue Hey my baby, don't you know our love is true? I've been so far from here, far from your loving arms Now I'm back again And babe it's gonna work out fine Can't you feel our souls ignite Shedding ever changing colours In the darkness of the fading night Like the river joins the ocean, as the germ in a seed grows We have finally been freed to get back home There's an angel standing in the sun And he's crying with a loud voice "This is the supper of the mighty one" Lord of Lords, King of Kings Has returned to lead his children home To take them to the new Jerusalem ย
Lyrics meaning The song moves through a series of strange, dramatic scenes, beginning with an intimate reunion between two lovers and expanding into visions of deception, war, transformation, and spiritual judgment. The repeated return to the loversโ affectionate words gives the journey an emotional thread: after distance and chaos, they seem to find one another again. The ending shifts from personal reunion to a promise of collective homecoming.
Several images suggest that appearances can mislead. The โsanctuary manโ offers safety, but the speaker warns that he has โfooled you all,โ making comfort seem like a possible trap. Willow Farm is a playful, unstable world where creatures and objects change form; this may suggest that identity and ordinary rules are not fixed. The โmountain of human fleshโ makes the cost of battle brutally visible, contrasting with the green landscape and the apparent celebration of victory.
The lyrics are surreal and may not tell one single, literal story. Their religious imagesโsuch as trumpets, an angel, and a โnew Jerusalemโโcan suggest judgment, renewal, or deliverance, while the playful word changes keep the meaning unsettled. The ending feels hopeful, but the earlier warnings make it possible to read that hope as hard-won rather than simple or certain.
