Lyrics Sailor's Hornpipe (Viv Stanshall Version) - Mike Oldfield
The
hallway.
From
outside,
an
ordinary
house.
A
great
house,
true
- four
hundred
and
eighty
three
rooms,
each
one
with
its
own
marble
wash
basin
and
douche,
bidet
as
it
may.
But
inside,
and
the
positions
are
reversed.
A
human
failing,
some
say
a
disease,
but
a
disease
that
Sir
Francis
Dashwood
knew,
and
knew
it
well.
Upstairs,
inside
and
a
revelation.
It's
a
discotheque.
No,
no,
uh.
there
are
paintings,
real,
and
look
here
- a
rare
seventeenth
century
masterpiece,
and
if
I
can
scrape
a
little
of
it
off,
beneath
I
can
find
hidden
a
fourteenth
century
underpiece.
Made
entirely
of
eggshells,
this
lurid
work
has
caused
controversy
in
the
world
of
embroidery
and
anthropologicky.
No,
I'll
say
it
again,
anthropolology.
Umm.
no
quite
possibly
make
an
anthropol,
no,
uh,
I
mean
an
apolog.ph.
It
has
enthralled
distinguished
professors,
and
in
layman's
language
is
"blinking
well
baffling".
But
to
be
more
obtusely,
"buggered
if
I
know."
Yes,
"buggered
if
I
know."
And
that's
all
we've
gleaned
so
far
from
experts
in
fourteenth
century
painting,
renaissance,
greengrocers,
and
recently
revived
members
of
the
public.
"
Buggered
if
I
know."
