I'd like to see it.

-All right. OK.

I'll read it...

It's all in code.

Can't understand a word of this.

-Darling, I came to say good luck.

-Oh, you look beautiful, darling. I love that.

-Merci.

-So anyway, are you all right?

-Yeah.

-There's an awful lot of Rolls-Royces out there, darling.

-Really?

-Limousines. Incidents occurring.

-Oh!

Tony loved it, he made the driver go by slowly.

-Just people... Being surrounded and recognised and fans going nuts.

-What people?

I don't know. I just saw the Rolls-Royces lined up. It's fabulous!

Ah, you guys, you look very nice and I just came to say hello.

-Bon, je reviendrai.

-Who did your make-up?

-I did.

-Did you?

-Why?

-Interesting.

-It is interesting.

-It's the best one you've done if I may say so.

-It's cos I'm watching you, you see. I'm learning from you.

Do you like the lines around the lips?

No, I don't like and she knows that.

But I like the idea of the blue lines with the pink lipstick. That's quite good.

-You see how they pick on me and make me feel terrible?

-You're a girl. What do you know about make-up?

Exactly! That's what I say all the time(!)

Make-up for a night out on the town, with the boys.

Go on, star! Go on.

All right. I'll see you later. Bye-bye.

# Watch that man! Oh honey watch that man

# Walks like a jerk But he's only taking care of the room

# Though he must be in tune

# A Benny Goodman fan painted holes in his hands

# So Shakey hung him up to dry The pundits were jokin' the manholes were smokin'

# And every bottle battled with the reason why

# The girl on the phone wouldn't leave me alone

# A throwback from someone's LP A lemon in a bag played the Tiger Rag

# And the bodies on the screen stopped bleeding

# Yeah! I was shakin' like a leaf because I couldn't understand the conversation

INTRO: "Wild Eyed Boy From Freecloud"

# Solemn faced the village settles down

# Undetected by the stars

# And the hangman plays the mandolin before he goes to sleep

# And the last thing on his mind

# Is the Wild Eyed Boy imprisoned 'neath the covered wooden shaft

# Folds the rope into its bag

# Blows his pipe of smoulders

# Blankets smoke into the room

# And the day will end for some

# As the night begins for one

# Staring through the message in his eyes

# Lies the solitary son

# From the mountain called Freecloud Where the eagle dare not fly

# And the patience in his sigh

# Gives no indication For the townsmen to decide

# So the village dreadful yawns

# Pronouncing gross diversion

# As the label for the dog

# Oh "It's the madness in his eyes"

# As he breaks the night to cry

# "It's really me

# "Really you and really me

# "It's so hard for us to really be

# "Really you and really me

# Who sees the world through an unlit mind

# Throw him a dime for the passing time

# My death waits there between your thighs

# Your cool fingers will close my eyes

# Let's think of that and the passing time

# My death waits to allow my friends

# A few good times before it ends

# So let's drink to that and the passing time

# But whatever lies behind the door

# There is nothing much to do

# Angel or devil, I don't care

# For in front of that door

# There is you

# My death waits there among the leaves

# In magician's mysterious sleeves

# Rabbits and dogs and the passing time

# My death waits there among the flowers

# Where the blackest shadow blackest shadow cowers

# Let's pick lilacs for the passing time

# My death waits there in a double bed

# Sails of oblivion at my head

# So pull up the sheets against the passing time

INTRO: "The Width Of A Circle"

AUDIENCE CLAPS IN TIME

# In the corner of the morning in the past

# I would sit and blame the master first and last

# All the roads were straight and narrow

# And the prayers were small and yellow

# And the rumour spread that I was aging fast

# Then I ran across a monster who was sleeping by a tree

# Well I looked and frowned cos the monster was...me

# Ha

# Well, I said "Hello" and I said "Hello"

# And I asked "Why not?" and I replied "Dunno"

# So we asked a simple blackbird who was happy as can be

# Well, he laughed insane and quipped "Kahlil Gibran"

# And I cried for all the others till the day was nearly through

# Cos I realised that God's a young...man...too

# Ah just like you

# Just like you

# Oh just like you. #

ROCKING GUITAR

RHYTHMIC DRUM SOLO

WAILING GUITARS AND DRUMS

# Well I said "So long" and I waved bye-bye

# And I smashed my soul and traded my mind

# I got laid by a young bordello

# I was vaguely half asleep

# For which my reputation swept back home in drag

# And the morals of this magic spell

# Negotiates my hide

# When God did take my logic for a ride

# Riding along

# Turn around. #

# He swallowed his pride and puckered his lips

# He showed me the leather belt round his hips

# You know my knees were shaking my cheeks aflame

# He said "You'll never go down to the Gods again"

# Turn around, go back

# He struck the ground a cavern appeared

# And I smelt the burning pit of fear

# We crashed a thousand yards below

# I said "Do it again, do it again."

# Turn around, go back

# His nebulous body swayed above

# His tongue swollen with devil's love

# The snake and I a venom high

# I said "Do it again, do it again."

# Turn around go back

# Breathe, breathe, breathe deeply

# And I was seething breathing deeply

# Spitting sentry horned and tailed

WHISTLING AND CHEERING

Everybody...this has been...one of the greatest tours of our life, we really...

Ah, of all the shows on this tour, this particular show will remain with us the longest because...

CROWD SCREAMS

not only is it...not only is it the last show of the tour

but it's the last show that we'll ever do. Thank you.

AUDIENCE SCREAMS

INTRO: "Rock 'n' Roll Suicide"

# Time takes a cigarette, puts it in your mouth

# Pull on your finger, then another finger, then your cigarette

# The wall-to-wall is calling, it lingers but still you forget

# Ohhh, you're a rock 'n' roll suicide

# You're too young to lose it

# But you're too old to lose it

# And the clock waits so patiently on your song

# Well you walk past the cafe but you can't eat when you've lived too long

# Oh no no no, you're a rock 'n' roll suicide

# Now the Chev brakes are snarling as you stumble across the road

# But the day breaks instead so you hurry home

# Don't let the sunlight blast your shadow

# Don't let the milk float ride your mind

# You're so natural - religiously unkind

# Oh no, love, you're not alone

# You're watching yourself but you're too unfair

# You got your head all tangled up but if I can only make you care

# Oh no, love, you're not alone

# No matter what or who you've been

# No matter when or where you've seen

# All the knives seem to lacerate your brain

# I've had my share, now I'll help you with the pain

# You're not alone

# Just turn on with me and you're not alone

# Just turn on with me and you're not alone

# Just gimme your hands cos you're wonderful

# I said - gimme your hands cos you're wonderful

# Gimme your hands cos you're wonderful

# It's you

# Gimme your hands cos you're wonderful

-# Gimme your hands -

-you're wonderful

-# Gimme your hands -

-oh oh oh you're wonderful

# Oh oh oh you're wonderful...

# Cos you're wonderful

# Gimme your ha-a-and

# Cos you're wonderful baby

# Yeah! #

Thank you very much. Bye-bye. We love you.
