Artist | Vashti Bunyan |
Album | Just Another Diamond Day |
[00:12.89] | Maurice Snail and Timothy Grub |
[00:18.58] | Swanney and Blue and Emily Grub |
[00:24.35] | Decided one day to go into the wood |
[00:29.77] | And build them a house and live there if they could |
[00:35.49] | And they stayed there a while in the trees and the rain |
[00:41.49] | Till one day two Blue Men said you’re all insane |
[00:46.82] | And to please not come here again |
[00:53.30] | They had a green car called Happiness Runs |
[00:58.81] | Friday comes and Happiness runs |
[01:04.58] | Out of petrol and everyone gets out to push |
[01:10.53] | And suddenly see through a gap in the bush |
[01:15.92] | A real caravan just like the one in their dreams |
[01:21.94] | The gypsy doesn’t want it for nowadays it seems |
[01:27.47] | His home stays in one place and gleams |
[01:33.03] | He told them that he had a horse down the lane |
[01:39.49] | Saturday morning they went back again |
[01:44.73] | He showed them a shed that was built out of tin |
[01:50.73] | He opened the door and they all peered within |
[01:55.89] | And there lying on straw was a horse black as night |
[02:01.45] | With a star on her forehead and eyes full of light |
[02:07.17] | And they all fell in love at first sight |
[02:13.12] | They thought and they thought about having Black Bess |
[02:19.17] | Timothy planted some mustard and cress |
[02:24.77] | They lived in a cupboard and made it their home |
[02:30.40] | And lay there and dreamed of the days when they’d roam |
[02:35.92] | Up and down all the hills of the North countryside |
[02:41.19] | With the dogs eating buttercups on the wayside |
[02:47.07] | And they’d wave all the cities goodbye |
[02:50.76] |
