Lyrics


1. LADY ELEANOR

Banshee playing magician sitting lotus on the floor
Belly dancing beauty with a power driven saw
Had my share of nightmares, didn't think there could be much more
Then in walked Rodrick Usher with the Lady Eleanor

She tied my eyes with ribbon of a silken ghostly thread
I gazed with trouble vision on an old four poster bed
Where Eleanor had risen to kiss the neck below my head
And bid me come along with her to the land of the dancing dead

But it's all right, Lady Eleanor
All right, Lady Eleanor
I'm all right where I am

She gazed with loving beauty like a mother to a son
Like living, dying, seeing, being all rolled into one
Then all at once I heard some music playing in my bones
The same old song I'd heard for years, reminding me of home

But it's all right, Lady Eleanor
All right, Lady Eleanor
I'm all right where I am

Then creeping on towards me, licking lips with tongues of fire
A host of golden demons screaming lust and base desire
And when it seemed for certain that the screams could get no higher
I heard a voice above the rest screaming 'You're a liar'

But it's all right, Lady Eleanor
All right, Lady Eleanor
I'm all right here in your arms


2. NOTHING BUT THE MARVELLOUS IS BEAUTIFUL

[Chorus]
Nah, nah
Nah, nanna, nanna, nah
Na, nanna, nanna, nun, nah

Sitting on a fence in the middle of the afternoon
Trying to get silly, but it's not working out too well (too well)
Well, well, I just can't tell
If I should go (go), if I should stay (stay)
So i'll just close my eyes and drift away

When you're feeling pretty low and you just don't know
And in which direction you're going
If you shut your eyes and you don't really try
Then you know without really knowing
That's what I heard though it sounds absurd
To a thinking man like you
Well i've got no head for big plans
Instead I think that's what i'll do

[Chorus]

Walking down the street trying to keep my feet from misery
Not looking at the people 'cause they're not looking back at me (at me)
Maybe they just can't see
Or think or even feel, maybe they're even unreal (real)
So what can I do now the way I feel?

When you're feeling pretty low and you just don't know
And in which direction you're going
If you shut your eyes and you don't really try
Then you know without really knowing
That's what I heard though it sounds absurd
To a thinking man like you
Well i've got no head for big plans
Instead I think that's what i'll do

[Chorus]....
