Me Jillhendrix Cosby Lyrics

We had just left shore when everything began to happen at once

the water came in and we started to go down

I looked at jill and she looked back,

thinking it would be alright to go down

but then the railings broke and the motors gave out

the hall emptied out and no-one was left for the band

the amps all wet, speakers burst, soaked



we, up three flight now, tried to meet up with the galley crew

but it seemed everyone had gone

we had a smoke to pass some time

Jill said "I'd love to, right now"

what could I say?

We did while the waters rose, licking our feet

it was fun and funny so we laughed

I loved the way she could laugh, so full bodied



when we hit the sky we were high over the rooves

a field of gnarled antennas coiling upwards

waves and waveforms joining in a nice hot blast

so different from the boat

the cold silver sky opened for us and we passed through

last I saw of Jill she was heading into the coils of the antennae

laughing, so beautiful

saying she hadn't yet had her fill of the boys there

and the electricity

saying she wanted to plug in again and fry a bit

I said: "watch the water love"

she kept laughing and shook her hair

she said "I'd love to, right now, you know"

so we did, and had a smoke too, and her lips parted

there in amongst the coiling snakes of an antenna

she looked right at home

the waves came up and a blinding flash caught me dreaming of her

as she looked all across with wires and spikes watching the blast

everything went orange and all my thoughts dissolved into the cloud

I thought one last: how different from the sea is the boat
