LADY ELEANOR
ALAN HULL

LINDISFARNE


Bashee playin' magician sittin' lotus on the floor
Belly-dancin' beauty with a power driven saw
Had my share o' nightmares, didn't think it could be much more
When in walked Roderick Usher with the Lady Eleanor.

She tied my eyes with ribbons of a silken ghostly thread
I gazed with troubled vision on an old four-poster bed
Where Eleanor had risen to kiss the neck below my head
And bid me come along with her to the land of the dancing dead. 

But it's alright Lady Eleanor
All right Lady Eleanor
I'm all right where I am.

She gazed with lovin' beauty like a mother to a son
Like livin', dyin' seein' bein' all rolled into one
Then all at once I heard some music in my bone
The same old song I've heard for years remindin' me of home.

But it's alright Lady Eleanor
All right Lady Eleanor
I'm alright where I am. 

Then creepin' on towards me lickin' lips with tongues of fire
A host of golden demons screamin' lust and base desire
And when it seemed for certain that the screams could get no  higher
I heard a voice above the rest screamin' your'e a liar.

But it's alright Lady Eleanor
All right Lady Eleanor
I'm all right here in your arms.
