Here are the lyrics for Gala, Lush's first release. Although Gala was Lush's first release, Spooky is considered to be the first album. This is because Gala was simply a contemplation of songs from soundtracks and other varies rarities, much like Topolino.
Gala track list:
Sunbathing, and she came down from above
Close my eyes and I feel like I'm in love
Wrapped in silk, how I got here I don't know
Tastes like milk and there's nowhere else to go
Soft red lips, slowly open wide
Honey drips and I long to feel inside
Deep and warm, the only to place to be
Sleep til dawn, then she does the same for me
Drawn fine line, heal my bad spine
Close together, now its all mine
Wake in sunlight, sunlight bleak white
Realise she's gone
I've been waiting on the slide
Suggest I open wide
No incentive to hide
Happy coursing through my veins
Don't even know my name
When I'm up you're coming down
Inside of me, some sight to see
Some sight to feel our earthy bed
When we're wrapped in polythene
What's that supposed to mean
Paper flowers bring me luck
No birds in sight I fear
Stick sticks in you my dear
When I'm up you're coming down
Some say I'm vague
And I'd easily fade
Foolish parade of fantasy
Drink in your eyes
Drink in you sighs
Grass in my thighs my aching legs
Dreams deep heat teasing my mind
Sleep peels sweet stealing my sighs
She breathes deep when he's inside
Dreams deep heat poisons my mind
Inside me there's a separate world
It's winning and I'm losing control
I'm coming but my eyes are closed
I'm coming but it leaves me cold
Night's bright lights dim in the day
Blind eyes smile at you today
I find I'm falling away
My eyesights never the same
Inside me there's a separate girl
She's winning and I'm losing control
She coming but my eyes are closed
She's coming but I wake up and it leaves me cold
Come on little man now all's said and done
All tht I'm asking is you show me some fun
I need purple veins and scenic greens
They can make me soar and touch extremes
I just fell down from whitest skies
And now I start to realise
And all the colours talk to me
And if I had wings then I could take you in
I'd stay on the ground and I could teach you things
The grass is strewn with blades of gold
These sights and songs I have been told
All hopes desires that seem to sing
Come on little man now you're times nearly through
Colours are dripping down red and blue
I'm standing in the middle of a great glass ball
I'm told that I've nothing but I'm having it all
I just rose up from blackest seas
My eyes were opened so widely
And its a shame to end this way
Swallowed her down, she's inside me
She's struggling now, she can't break free
And my eyes are closed, my lips are sealed
She can't escape but I can feel
Kicks in me
Climbing my spine, she's inside me
Wants to escape, wants to breathe
And I wish I could tell you what she feels
And I wish I could hear when she speaks
Just don't imagine that I'll still remember you
Don't even think I'll try
I'll take my memories and drown them in my glass
And then I'll drink a toast of bitterness and wash you from my heart
I count the blessings that took you away from me
I laugh to think I cried
I don't need what you got I don't miss what you do
'Cause I can raise my glass and drink a toast of bitterness to you
And now my mind recalls no memory of you
And so I raise a smile and drink a toast of bitterness to you
Just don't imagine that I still remember you
Don't even think I care
You took your love elsewhere and I drank mine away
With bitter thoughts of you that washed my memories of you away
Peel back empty night
Grey dawn breaks into white
Sun climbing the sky
Your eyes reflecting the light
Clouds out of sight
But when the day is through
Will I see you again
Keep your eyes on me
Don't let go of my hand
Running together
We go together so well
I can tell
Run where I run
Play what I play
Do what I do
But when this day's through
Will I see you again
So at last you're free
It's the way you wanted it to be
It's the price you pay
To be called a woman of today
Is it worth the pain to see the children cry
Does it hurt when they ask for Daddy
Hey hey Helen
Now you live on your own
Hey hey Helen
Can you make it alone
So you're free at last
And beginning to forget the past
Does it make you sad
When you think about the life you've ha-ha-had
But you're right, you had to take a second chance
So you fight for your freedom
Hey hey Helen
Now you live on your own
Hey hey Helen
Can you make it alone
Hey hey Helen
What's the matter with you
Hey hey Helen
Don't you know what to do
Ahah, yes you do yes you do
Ahah, yes you do yes you do
Hey hey Helen
Now you live on your own
Hey hey Helen
Can you make it alone
Hey hey Helen
What's the matter with you
Hey hey Helen
Don't you know what to do
Hey hey Helen
Also, "De-Luxe" was Lush's first video. It has a little less plot than some of their newer videos, but its pretty cool to watch, especially if you're stoned. :)
