Moments Of Pleasure [The Red Shoes]

                Some moments that I've had

                Some moments of pleasure

                I think about us lying

                Lying on a beach somewhere

                I think about us diving

                Diving off a rock, into another moment

                The case of George the Wipe

                Oh God I can't stop laughing

                This sense of humour of mine

                It isn't funny at all

                Oh but we sit up all night

                Talking about it

                                Just being alive

                                It can really hurt

                                And these moments given

                                Are a gift from time

                On a balcony in New York

                It's just started to snow

                He meets us at the lift

                Like Douglas Fairbanks

                Waving his walking stick

                But he isn't well at all

                The buildings of New York

                Look just like mountains through the snow

                                Just being alive

                                It can really hurt

                                And these moments given

                                Are a gift from time

                                Just let us try

                                To give these moments back

                                To those we love

                                To those who will survive

                And I can hear my mother saying

                "Every old sock meets an old shoe"

                Isn't that a great saying?

                "Every old sock meets an old shoe"

                Here come the Hills of Time

                Hey there Maureen,

                Hey there Bubba,

                Dancing down the aisle of a plane,

                'S Murph, playing his guitar refrain,

                Hey there Teddy,

                Spinning in the chair at Abbey Road,

                Hey there Michael,

                Do you really love me?

                Hey there Bill,

                D'you turn the lights up?
