Ladies and gentlemen,

I recently found

my first diary.

Age 2-6.

It was fully illustrated.

As I unrolled the pages,

I realised that so many people

have touched me

on my way

to this stage tonight.

How can I say

who touched me the most?

My father,

the American Gl?

Could it have been

my East German mother?

...pervert!

Get out! Get out!

Go on... Go on!

When the earth

was still flat

And clouds

made of fire

And mountains

stretched up to the sky

Sometimes higher

Folks roamed the earth

Like big rolling kegs

They had

two sets of arms

They had

two sets of legs

They had two faces peering

out of one giant head

So they could watch

all around them

As they talked

while they read

And they never

Knew nothing of love

It was before

The origin of love

The origin of love

The origin of love

The origin of love

Now there was

three sexes then

One that looked like two men

glued up back-to-back

They called

the children of the sun

And similar

in shape and girth

Was the children

of the Earth

They looked like two girls

rolled up in one

And the children

of the moon

Looked like a fork

shoved on a spoon

They was part sun,

part earth

Part daughter, part son

The origin of love

Now the gods

grew quite scared

Of our strength

and defiance

And Thor said

"I'm gonna kill 'em all

with my hammer

Like I killed

the giants"

ButZeus said

"No, you better

let me

Use my lightning

like scissors

Like I cut the legs

off the whales

Dinosaurs into lizards"

And then he grabbed up

some bolts

He let out a laugh

Said, "I'll split them

right down the middle

Gonna cut them

right up in half"

And the storm clouds

gathered above

Into great balls

of fire

And then fire

Shot down from the sky

in bolts

Like shining blades

of a knife

And they ripped

right through the flesh

Of the children of the sun

And the moon

and the earth

And some lndian god

Sewed the wound up

into a hole

Pulled it round

to our bellies

To remind us

the price we pay

And Osiris,

and the gods of the Nile

Gathered up a big storm

to blow a hurricane

To scatter us away

In a flood

of wind and rain

A sea of tidal waves

To wash us all away

And if we don't behave

They'll cut us down again

And we'll be hopping around

on one foot

Looking through

one eye

The last time

I saw you

We'd just split

in two

You was looking

at me

I was looking

at you

You had a way
