Put Up

Put the
Rubbish out your head
        mother dear
        mother dear
Put the rubbish out your head
        mother dear

The night is closing in
        yet you win
        yet you win
O the night is closing in
        but you win

See the writing on the wall
        in its sun
        in its sun
See the writing on the wall
        O its sun

See the light upon the hand
        silly one
        silly one
See the light upon the hand
        O silly one

Be the woman He had planned
        woman dear
        woman dear
Be the woman He has planned
        to be here
