“Workingmen of all countries, unite,
Side by side we for freedom will fight:
When the world and its wealth we have gained
To the grafters we'll sing this refrain:

You will eat, bye and bye,
When you've learned how to cook and to fry
Chop some wood, 'twill do you good,
And you'll eat in the sweet bye and bye.”

“I want you as the dream,
Not the reality.
That clumsy good-bye kiss could fool me.
But looking back over my shoulder
at you happy without me.”

Song lyrics, The Sensual World (1989)

“This is for my peoples who just lost somebody,
your best friend, your baby, your man or your lady,
put your hand way up high,
we will never say bye,
mamas, daddies, sisters, brothers, friends and cousins,
this is for my peoples who lost their grandmothers,
lift your head to the sky,
cause we will never say bye.”
