As Long as He Lies Perfectly Still
Artist: Soft Machine
Albums: Volume Two (1969)


Here's a song for "clean machine" Kev in Majorca
He's found his own way of livin', Majorca
Don't walk, don't drink
Don't talk, just think
Heaven on Earth he'll get there soon

Kevin's highly unlikely to get ill
At least as long as he lies perfectly still
He eats brown rice
And fish, how nice
Heaven on Earth, he'll get there soon

Good and bad go so well together in his tunes
He wrote a song and called it the weather or not
He's Lucky or Pozzo, Estragon and Vladimir
Waiting for something that's already there
Heaven on Earth or is it the moon?

Why, why, why is he sleeping?
Why is the trumpeter weeping?
Kevin may be asking if he can get back into my dreams
His voice it is so weak now and the customers are screaming
Heavens above, we can't hear what you're saying!

We've got something to tell you
Hold on, we wanted to thrill you
Reckons it's so nice and it will make you feel better
Something in the nature of a lullabye letter

Kevin on Earth there'll be one
Kevin on Earth make room for one
Kevin himself he'll be in
Kevin on Earth, be here
Or you could be now
Or is he found
In Herne Bay?
