Hiding All Away Lyrics

[Verse 1]
You went looking for me dear
Down by the sea
You found some little silver fish
But you didn't find me

[Chorus]
I was hiding, dear
Hiding all way
I was hiding, dear
I was hiding all way

[Verse 2]
You went to the museum
You climbed a spiral stair
You searched for me all among
The knowledgeable air

[Chorus]
I was hidden, babe
I was hiding all away
I was hidden, dear
I was hiding all away

[Verse 3]
You entered the cathedral
When you heard the solemn knell
I was not sitting with the gargoyles
I was not swinging from the bell

[Chorus]
I was hiding, dear
I was hiding all away
I was hiding, dear
I was hiding all away

[Verse 4]
You asked an electrician
If he'd seen me around his place
He touched you with his fingers
Sent sparks zapping out your face

[Chorus]
I was hidden, dear
I was hiding all away
I was not there, dear
I was hiding all away

[Verse 5]
You went and asked your doctor
To get some advice
He shot you full of Pethadine
And then he went and billed you twice

[Chorus]
But I was hiding, dear
I was hiding all away
But I was hiding, dear
Hiding all away

[Verse 6]
You approached a high court judge
You thought he'd be on the level
Well he wrapped a rag around your face
And beat you with his gavel

[Chorus]
I was hiding, babe
I was hiding all away
I was keeping hidden, dear
I was hiding all away

[Verse 7]
You asked at the local constabulary
They said, he's up to his same old tricks
They leered at you with their baby blues
And rubbed jelly on their sticks

[Chorus]
I had to get out of there, babe
I was hiding all away
You better get out of there, dear
I was hiding all away

[Verse 8]
You searched through all my poets
From Sappho through to Auden
I saw the book fall from your hands
As you slowly died of boredom

[Chorus]
I had been there, dear
But I was not there anymore
I had been there, dear
Now I'm hiding all way

[Verse 9]
You walked into the hall of fame
And approached my imitators
Some were stuffing their faces with caviar
Some were eating cold potatoes

[Chorus]
But I was hiding, dear
I was hiding all away
I was hiding, dear
I was hiding all away

[Verse 10]
Well, you asked a famous cook if he'd seen me
He opened his oven wide
Well, he basted you with butter, babe
And he made you crawl inside

[Chorus]
But I was not in there, dear
I was hiding all away
I was not in there, dear
I was hiding all away

[Verse 11]
You asked the butcher
Who lifted up his cleaver
Stuck his fist up your dress
Said "he must've been mad to leave you"

[Chorus]
But I had to get away, dear
I was hiding all away
I had to get away, dear
I was hidden all away

[Verse 12]
Some of us we hide away
Some of us we don't
Some will live to love another day
And some of us won't
But we all know there is a law
And that law, it is love
And we all know there is a war coming
Coming from above

There is a war coming
There is a war coming
There is a war coming
There is a war coming
There is a war coming
There is a war coming
There is a war coming
There is a war coming
There is a war coming
There is a war coming
There is a war coming
There is a war coming
There is a war coming
There is a war coming
There is a war coming
