A Very Cellular Song Lyrics

Intro: G Am7 F Bb (x2)
Winter was cold and the clothing was thin
But the gentle shepherd calls the tune
Oh dear mother what shall I do
First please your eyes and then your ears , Jenny
Exchanging love tokens say goodnight
Lay down my dear sister
Won't you lay and take your rest
Won't you lay your head upon your saviours breast
And I love you but Jesus loves you the best
And I bid you goodnight, goodnight, goodnight,
Lord I bid you goodnight, goodnight,
One of these mornings bright and early and fine.
Goodnight, goodnight
Not a cricket not a spirit going to shout me on
Goodnight, goodnight
I go walking in the valley of the shadow of death
Goodnight, goodnight
And his rod and his staff shall comfort me
Goodnight, goodnight
Oh John the wine he saw the sign
Goodnight, goodnight
Oh John say I seen a number of signs
Goodnight, goodnight
Tell 'A' for the ark that wonderful boat
Goodnight, goodnight
You know they built it on the land getting water to float
Goodnight, goodnight
Tell 'B' for the beast at the ending of the wood
Goodnight, goodnight
You know it eat all the children when they wouldn't be good
Goodnight, goodnight
I remember quite well, I remember quite well
Goodnight, goodnight
I was walking in Jerusalem just like John
Goodnight, goodnight,
Goodnight Goodnight
goodnight Goodnight
Goodnight Goodnight
Who would lose and who would bruise
Or who would live quite prettily?
And who would love... what comes along
And fill the air with joyous song
Who would go and who would come
Or who would simply linger
And who would hide behind your chair
And steal your crystallised ginger
Intro: G Am7 F Bb
Nebulous nearnesses cry to me
At this timeless moment someone dear to me
wants me near, makes me high
I can hear vibrations fly
Through mangoes, pomegranates and planes
All the same
When it reaches me
and teaches me
To sigh
Bridge: G C D G x6
Who would mouse and who would lion
Or who would be the tamer
And who would hear directions clear
From the unnameable namer
Who would skip and who would plod
Or who would lie quite stilly
And who would ride backwards on a giraffe
Stopping every so often to laugh
Amoebas are very small
Oh ah ee oo there's absolutely no strife
living the timeless life
I don't need a wife
living the timeless life
If I need a friend I just give a wriggle
Split right down the middle
And when I look there's two of me
Both as handsome as can be
Oh here we go slithering,
here we go slithering and squelching on
Oh here we go slithering,
here we go slithering and squelching on
Oh ah ee oo there's absolutely no strife
living the timeless life
Intro: G Am7 F Bb
Black hair brown hair feather and scale
Seed and stamen and all unnamed lives that live
Turn your quivering nerves in my direction
Turn your quivering nerves in my direction
Feel the energy
projection of my cells
Wishes you well
May the long time sun shine upon you
All love surround you
And the pure light within you
Guide you all the way on
