mike oldfield - sailor's hornpipe (viv stanshall version) lyrics
[spoken word: vivian stanshall]
the hallway. from the outside, an ordinary house
a great house, true
four-hundred-and-eighty-three rooms, each with its own marble wash basin and douche (bidet, as it’s known)
but inside, and the positions are reversed
a human failing, some say a disease. but a disease that sir francis dashwood knew and used well
upstairs, inside, and a revelation
it’s a discotheque!
no no, err… there are paintings, real… and look here!
a rare seventeenth century masterpiece
and if i can scr-pe a little of it off, beneath i can find hidden
a fourteenth century underpiece
made entirely of tiny pieces of eggsh-ll, this lurid work has caused controversy in the world of embroidery and anthropolodgeky…
no, i’ll say it again: anthro…polo…logy
erm, quite possibly make an anthropol…
no, i mean an apolodge… for…
it has enthralled distinguished professors, and in layman’s language is blinking well baffling
but to be more obtusely: b-gg-red if i know
yes, b-gg-red if i know
and that’s all we’ve gleaned so far from experts in fourteenth century paining, renaissance greengrocers and recently revived members of the public
b-gg-red if i know
vivian stanshall, about three o’clock in the morning, oxfordshire, 1973
goodnight
