0:21You went looking for nur dear
0:24Down by the sea
0:26You found some Iittle silver fish
0:29But you didn't find me
0:32I was hiding dear hiding all the way
0:37I was hiding dear I was hiding all the way
0:43You went to the museum
0:46You climbed a spiral stair
0:49You searched for me all among
0:51The knowledgeable air
0:54I was hidden babe I was hiding all the away
1:00I was hidden dear I was hiding all the away
1:05You entered the cathedral
1:08When you heard the solemn knell
1:11I was not sitting with the gargoyles
1:14I was not swinging from the hell
1:16I was hiding dear I was hiding all away
1:22I was hiding dear I was hiding all away
1:37You asked an electrician
1:40If he'd seen me round his place
1:43He touched you with his fingers
1:45Sent sparks zapping out your face
1:48He was hiding there
1:51I was hiding all away
1:53I was not there dear I was hiding all away
1:59You went and asked your doctor
2:02To get some advice
2:04He shot you full of Pethidine
2:07And then he billed you twice
2:10But I was hiding dear I was hiding all away
2:15But I was hiding dear I was hiding all away
2:21You approached a high court judge
2:24You thought he'd be on the level
2:26He wrapped a rag around your face
2:29And beat you with his gavel
2:32I was hiding habe I was hiding all away
2:37I was hidden dem I was hiding all away
2:43You asked at the local constabulary
2:45They said he's up to his same old tricks
2:48They leered at you with their baby blues
2:51And rubbed jelly on their sticks
2:53I had to get out of there babe I was hiding all away
2:59I had to get out of there dear I was hiding all away
3:15You searched through all my poets
3:17From Sappho through to Auden
3:19I saw the book fall from your hands
3:22As you slowly died of boredom
3:25I had been there dear
3:28But I was not there anymore
3:30I had been there now I'm hiding all way
3:36You walked into the ball of fame
3:39And approached my imitators
3:41Some were stuffing their faces with caviar
3:44Some were eating cold potatoes
3:46I was hiding dear I was hiding all away
3:52I was hiding dear I was hiding all away
3:57You asked a famous cook if he'd seen me
4:00He opened his oven wide
4:03He basted you with butter babe
4:06And made you crawl inside
4:08I was not in there dear I was hiding all away
4:13I was not in there dear I was hiding all away
4:20You asked the butcher
4:22Who lifted up his cleaver
4:25Stuck his fist up your dress
4:27Said he must've been mad to leave you
4:29But I had to get away dear I was hiding all away
4:35I had to get away dear I was hidden all away
4:51Some of us we hide away
4:53Some of us we don't
4:56Some will live to love another day
4:58And some of us won't
5:00But we all know there is a law
5:04And that law it is love
5:06And we all know there's a war coming
5:09Coming from above
5:11There is a war coming
5:16There is a war coming
5:21There is a war coming
5:26There is a war coming
5:31There is a war coming
5:36There is a war coming
5:41There is a war coming
5:46There is a war coming
5:51There is a war coming
5:56There is a war coming
6:01There is a war coming
6:06There is a war coming
6:11There is a war coming
6:15There is a war coming
