From the recording Eve
O you, Eve, were the world that tempted me
To eat the knowledge that grew in clay
And death the germ within it! (Patrick Kavanaugh 1904 – 1967)
Lyrics
All About Eve
Aine Minogue
Pass the torch before it's snatched
Don’t Count your chickens 'fore they hatched
working systematically , chop their heads off
one, two, three
Eliminate the competition, onward with the new rendition
CHORUS:
'cause it's all about Eve
It's all about Eve
Step into the spotlight And say pretty please
It’s all about Eve
All the elders looking on
Expectations, of an elevated song
They've been waiting years and years
For retaliation in the spheres
CHORUS
‘cause It's all about Eve
It's all about Eve
Work your way thru mud, sweat and tears
It's all about Eve
Auntie's waited overlong
to sing out a victory song
The poison pen is poised to flow
A nib that wounds sharper than any sword
CHORUS
‘cause It's all about Eve
It's all about Eve
Work your way thru mud, sweat and fears
It's all about Eve
Beware your mother’s dreams, my dear
No apple falls far from its tree
O Eve, O Eve….
###
O you, Eve, were the world that tempted me
To eat the knowledge that grew in clay
And death the germ within it! (Patrick Kavanaugh 1904 – 1967)
