Oooh I’m rolling out of my head
Oooh I’m rolling out of my head
Oooh it must be something that I said
Oooh it wasn’t me who played dead
And all I can do is cry
And call up coincidence admit that I’m ready to die
Oooh leaves floating over my head
Oooh leaves floating over my head
Oooh try to remember what I said
Oooh was I so easily led?
And all I can do is cry
And cast my eyes up to the sky
Stop pretending that it’s easy
You’re not following my steps
Stop pretending that it’s easy
You played a part but from the edge
Stop pretending that it’s easy
Look around for someone else
Turn your head away and leave me
Your tears are late
There’s nothing left
Oooh I’m rolling out of my head
Oooh I’m rolling out of my head
Oooh it must be something that I said
Oooh it wasn’t me who played dead
And all I can do is cry
And I cast my eyes up to the sky

Poor Beheaded Fool

I saw your days were numbered
The candle almost gone
Dropping too much
Of everything going
Running against the grain
Poor Beheaded Fool
Poor Beheaded Fool
Your friends were on the level
And moved to hold you back
Telling you tales
Of many other people
Buried before their time
Poor Beheaded Fool
Poor Beheaded Fool
Keep Running
Keep Running
Keep Running
The world needs more like you
Your eyes they saw before you
But never looked behind
Maybe that’s the way
That it should be
Kindness in your mind
Poor Beheaded Fool
Poor Beheaded Fool

I never once told you
The way that I felt
I never once tried to
Bring you back to yourself
Or at least the way I used to know you
We talked and you smoked
A little less than you used to
And I watched your mouth
As closely as I could do
And I wanted to be in there again
It’s a running battle
Me and my illusions
I don’t know how to use them
Or banish them forever
From my mind
I never once told you
The things that I’d planned
I knew you were leaving
Then you gave me your hand
And I knew that it was over

What Is Your Name

Touch in my wondering eyes
And I’ll know where I belong
Kiss on my wandering lips
And I’ll know that to be strong
Is a mistake
Smile in my deepening eyes
And I’ll know that you’re awake
Fly from my mind in the night
And I’ll know that for your sake
I’d soften wild
Walk from my house in the misty soft morn
And I’ll breathe in your place
Draw in the wind of a salt, sea-blown breeze
And I’ll brush from your face
That gold whispering hair
Sink into my mind on this warm winter’s night
And with you I will stay
Promise me half feather falls
On a bed of soft down and I’ll say
What is your name
What is your name
What is your name
(Copyright: Robert Gilmour, 1988)
