paroles de chanson Chalkhills and Children - Andy Partridge

I'm floating over strange land,
It's a soulless, sequined, showbiz moon.
I'm floating over strange land,
And then stranger still, there's no balloon.
But I'm getting higher,
Wafted up by fame's fickle fire 'til the...

Chalkhills and children,
Anchor my feet.
Chalkhills and children,
Bringing me back to earth,
Eternally and ever Ermine Street.
(Even I never know where I go when my eyes are closed.)

I'm skating over thin ice,
Upon blunted blades of metal soft.
I'm skating over thin ice,
While some nonsuch net holds me aloft.
But I'm getting higher,
Lifted up on lucks' silver wire 'til the...

Chalkhills and children,
Anchor my feet.
Chalkhills and children,
Bringing me back to earth,
Eternally and ever Ermine Street.

Even I never know where I go when my eyes are closed.
Even I never spied that the scenes were posed.
Even I never knew this is what I'd be.
Even eyes never mean that you're sure to see.

Still I'm getting higher,
Rolling up on three empty tyres

I'm soaring over hushed crowds,
The reluctant cannonball it seems.
I'm soaring over hushed crowds,
I'm propelled up here from long dead dreams.

Still I'm getting higher,
Icarus regrets and retires puzzled.

Chalkhills and children,
Anchor my feet.
Chalkhills and children,
Oddly complete.

Chalkhills and children
(Even I never know where I go when my eyes are all closed.)
Chalkhills and children
(Even I never know where I go when my eyes are all closed.)
Chalkhills and children
(Even I never know where I go when my eyes are all closed.)
Chalkhills and children
(Even I never know where I go when my eyes are all closed.)
Chalkhills and children
(Even I never know where I go when my eyes are all closed.)
Chalkhills and children
(Even I never know where I go when my eyes are all closed.)
Chalkhills and children
(Even I never know where I go when my eyes are all closed.)
