First of all let me describe
Major struggle to survive Just a weary group of people Waiting for the world to end Feel it spreading rapidly Radio activity Bound together by a legend To protect us and defend *Lead us to the yellow rainbow Just in case the earth should fall If you find the yellow rainbow You can save us all Summer's come from blackened cloud Sometimes seems to speak out loud Icy brew of winds prevailing From the cauldrons of the storm Hear the children's voices plead Please don't let the sky fall in We might find the yellow rainbow Fairy lights to keep them warm *Repeat I can take the atmosphere then chase it down Overactive mind works like an anagram Fear our hope's about to be Buried in obscurity Saw a man with eyes like saucers Caught up in a web of lies And that opened up before us Cast a rainbow big and bright Lead us to the yellow rainbow Just in case the earth should fall |

There's a fellow roaming round the street
I think most of all I'd like to meet I must consider him a clever lad Making like a young Sir Galahad Everywhere I go I think he's been He autographs the walls around the scene If you look hard enough you'll find him there In rooms of public places everywhere *Kilroy was here Left his name around the place Kilroy was here Thought I've never seen his face On a short vacation with my friends I found I had time on my hands to spare Surveyed my telescope around the land And saw his name imprinted in the sand *Repeat I wonder could he be a cavalier Or a roving musketeer Or just a dustman who's insane Everyplace regardless where or when .... strikes again and again and again If I ever meet that man at all I'll hang a plague upon my bedroom wall A monument erected in his name Would help to contribute his name *Repeat Kilroy was here Though I've never seen his face |

There's a girl next door to me who's round the bend
But she wonders why she can't make any friends From her garden she could see me In her silver-clad bikini Singing, dancing round her fruit tree *Here we go round the lemon tree Mister, can't you hear me Here we go round the lemon tree Mister, don't come near me Could I calm her down by throwing stones at her If only I could make the right approach to her Think I'd rather tame a tiger Turn those lemons into cider Still I'd like to get beside her *Repeat Three o'clock in the morning I could her her toneless singing I could smell her lemon perfume in the air I walked up to the window In the hope that I might see her Could the deadly shade of night still bring her there *Repeat Morning came and into action went my plans Went to meet her dressed in bright green underpants I crept in and sang discreetly Seemed to change your mind discreetly Danced together singing sweetly *Repeat |

Friday night and everything's right on the weekend
Crazy clothes and anything goes on the weekend John called in and Jim got Sue I made a date with a little ol' jew Off he went to make a date on the weekend No harm done, just having some fun on the weekend Cartop down, just a ridin' around on the weekend Took a ride to Lookout Hill The view up there was sure a thrill That was all, we had a big ball on the weekend There we were just sitting cool and cozy I just had time to steal a little kiss A police with a flashlight tried to nose in He said, "Holy Mackerel there, what is all this?" No harm done just having some fun on the weekend Took a chance on crashin' a dance on the weekend We were almost inside the place Then somebody slammed the door in my face "Hey you guys, you gotta wear ties on the weekend Crazy clothes and anything goes on the weekend That was all we had a big ball on the weekend |

My friends and I took a walk today
To a place we've been before We flipped around like a wind machine Till we stopped down by the shore Someone said *Let's go for a walk upon the water Let's go for a stroll across the sea First one, follow me Admit my thoughts didn't feel inclined To drift into the bay By now my friends, couldn't see their minds As I watched them drift away, all singing *Repeat ?????? swept up by the morning tide Now their souls are washed up Faith destroyed their minds Better get the Life inspector Bring along his mind director You know I'm innocent I just didn't expect their trip to last With the gale force wind across their path I could see them sinking fast, still singing *Repeat ?????? swept up by the morning tide Now their souls are washed up Faith destroyed their minds Better get the Life inspector Bring along his mind director This tale of common sense will end on Please don't drink and drive Especially when you're driving friends Along the waterside, still singing *Repeat *Repeat Follow me, follow me, follow me |

Woke up one morning half asleep
With all my blankets in a heap and yellow roses gathered all around me; the time was still approaching four I couldn't stand it anymore Saw marigolds upon my eider down. I'm just sitting watching flowers in the rain Feel the power of the rain making the garden grow, I'm just sitting watching flowers in the rain Feel the power of the rain keeping me cool. So I lay upon my side with all the windows opened wide Couldn't pressurize my head from speaking Hoping not to make a sound I pushed my bed into the grounds In time to catch the sight that I was seeking. I'm just sitting watching flowers in the rain Feel the power of the rain making the garden grow, I'm just sitting watching flowers in the rain Feel the power of the rain keeping me cool. If this perfect pleasure has the key Then this is how it has to be If my pillow's getting wet I don't see that it matters much to me. I heard the flowers in the breeze make conversation with the trees Believed to leave reality behind me With my commitments in a mess my sleep has gone away depressed In a world of fantasy you'll find me. I'm just sitting watching flowers in the rain Feel the power of the rain making the garden grow, I'm just sitting watching flowers in the rain Feel the power of the rain keeping me cool. |

Sister Jane has a little book
Full of autographs of useless people Seems a waste in the time she took And it gets me mad which makes us equal *Ooh, hundreds of people left out in the cold Wearing the shoes that were silver and gold Useless information Tons of useless information Seems to fill my head With nowhere else to go (Isn't it amazing) Mrs. Pain at the dairy game With the news about her operation Will the... ever make the rain Wash away such useless information *Repeat Isn't it amazing Now you can see why conversation is dying And time is passing you by Turn your ears to the weatherman Saying it be colder in December Get your boots and your.... It's been the same for years So I remember *Repeat *Repeat Hundreds of people filling my head with useless information (repeat and fade) |

di di di di......zing
Dear, when you smile at me I hear a melody It haunted me from the start Something inside of me Started a symphony Zing went the strings of my heart Whoaa now the breath of spring Whoaa I heard a robin sing About a nest far apart All that you seem to be End up in harmony Zing went the strings of my heart I still recall the thrill I guess I always will Our hope will never depart Dear, with your lips to mine A rhapsody divine Zing went the strings of my heart Zing went the strings... of.. my... heart... di di di..

Cast your mind back ten years
To the girl who was next to me in school If I put me hand upon her leg She hit me with a rule Though tomorrow won't be long were gonna have to play it cool You'll be fascinated by her She could set the place on fire Run and get the fire brigade Get the fire brigade See the buildings start to really burn-ooh Get the fire brigade Get the fire brigade If you jump you've got to wait your turn Friends all seem to laugh I fear I have to make a compromise Try to reassure myself My head must need some exercise Half past ten in the morning She just took me by surprise True she set the place on fire You'll be fascinated by her Run and get the fire brigade Get the fire brigade See the buildings start to really burn-ooh Get the fire brigade Get the fire brigade If you jump you've got to wait your turn The lights across the street throw a rainbow in her hair I'd love you all to meet her I'll be there, I'll be there Notice that my eyes have been A misty place since Saturday Brings a feeling we might need The fire engines anyway Though tomorrow won't be long You're gonna have to play it cool You'll be fascinated by her She could set the place on fire Run and get the fire brigade Get the fire brigade See the buildings start to really burn-ooh Get the fire brigade Get the fire brigade If you jump you've got to wait your turn |

I wake and yawn at the crack of dawn
With dewdrops on my feet As I rise up to greet the morning Nothing much to eat Every breath I take seems to make my body ache My only friend is mist on a Monday morning Pick up my sack and walk for miles Never thinking why To the brewer's yard where I can sit And watch my life go by Drink and Drink all day till my memory melts away I need a friend like mist on a Monday morning *Where's my wife, has she gone I hear misty morning call One foot resting in the grave Destined not to see her anymore There's a den in the grass by the old toe path Of corrugated steel I may be sleeping there tonight And depending how I feel Damp and dirty place Printing sorrow on my face With nothing but the mist on a Monday morning *Repeat From messaging I feel the sin Like wheels upon my feet Intoxicated by the night I stumbled in the street Every breath I take seems to make my body ache And drift into the mist on a Monday morning |

Discovered that the papers have been signed
to my bed I am confined owing to my state of mind Special food for thought I must be fed the authorities have said that I'm going off my head Suddenly from flowered skies Twenty thousand butterflies Glorify my ?????????? room Turn from hot to very cool Though it seems incredible I could ride a bike around the moon *Cherry Blossom Clinic Is there any truth in what they say Cherry Blossom Clinic Lock me in and throw the key away In this sad position where I lie From the corner of my eye Callous friends just pass me by Doctor pays a visit everyday I keep asking for my Dad They must think I'm going mad Lift the blankets off my face Quick before I suffocate Trying hard to meditate Tell the people, What a scene! Write a letter to the Queen Asking her if she can come to tea *Repeat Up above the sun is high Like a tea tray in the sky Helicopter lands upon my bed Phantom horses quickly fade Turning into lemonade Probably feel better when I'm dead *Repeat |

The silent night has turned to a night of fear
With windows howling wind into your ear You listen to the spirits far behind These things you hear are too much for your mind The bell strikes and your spine chills like the grave The chill that turns your blood from red to grey You know that with these things you see and hear The silent night has turned to a night of fear Image on your bedroom wall, shadows marching in the hall Just about to flip your mind, just about to trip your mind Just about to flip your mind, just about to trip your mind The green and purple lights affect your sight Your mother cannot comfort you tonight Your brain calls out for help that's never there The silent night has turned to a night of fear Image on your bedroom wall, shadows marching in the hall Just about to flip your mind, just about to trip your mind Just about to flip your mind, just about to trip your mind The silent night has turned to a night of fear With windows howling wind into your ear You listen to the spirits far behind These things you hear are too much for your mind Just about to flip your mind, just about to trip your mind Just about to flip your mind, just about to trip your mind |

When I was a little boy
My mama dropped me on my head I felt kinda dizzy but the doctor Made note of all I did Chorus Ever since then there's been a slight disturbance in my mind A kind of disarrangement that the surgeons cannot find At the age of seven I just couldn't read my abc But I gave my teacher tips on how the caveman used to be Chorus Reach the age of 21 ain't got no...to fit my clothes Day and night I'm looning around Dont know what I'm looking for Will they carry me away? Oh will they carry me away? I was 97 and I'm sure my brain it had enough Racing round in jet planes cause My sports car ain't quite fast enough Chorus Will they carry me away? Oh will they carry me away? |

See the people all in line
What's makin' them look at me Can't imagine that their minds Are thinkin' the same as me I can hear the grass grow I can hear the grass grow I see rainbows in the evening My head's attracted to A magnetic wave of sound With the streams of coloured circles Makin' their way around. I can hear the grass grow I can hear the grass grow I see rainbows in the evening Can't seem to puzzle out the signs My senses form a micro line Get a hold of yourself now baby See I need you to help now baby Get a hold of yourself now baby Put your head down to the ground And listen to your mind If you can't spell what you found I know that you're not my kind I can hear the grass grow I can hear the grass grow I see rainbows in the evening Can't seem to puzzle out the signs My senses form a micro line Get a hold of yourself now baby See I need you to help now baby Get a hold of yourself now baby See the people all in line What's makin' them look at me Can't imagine that their minds Are thinkin' the same as me I can hear the grass grow I can hear the grass grow I see rainbows in the evening |

Pushing in the queue to get to the front Join the ladies in my dream I know the perfect part you play Ring my bell and sail away Chorus Come and take a ride on my omnibus We could take you right to the terminus Don't forget your ticket if you want to ride Catching the ride inside Just a dud their hansom falter Harem on a bus flies over the town Hopes and dreams lock up your daughters Just too late to save the day Ring my bell and turn away Chorus Sweet silver meadows Protect us from the rain Reins never break Take us to the stars again Hear the waves flow everywhere See my sleighs through windy hair Save the girls upstairs for later Now you wonder if I can manage them all Wrap them up in Christmas paper Tell them they don't have to pay Ring my bell and turn away Chorus Omnibus ride Omnibus ride |

She sparkle like my jean
She more than seventeen Seems keen in other words She must have been A former beauty queen Now she's a naughty girl Chorus Wild wild wild tiger woman (wild wild wild wild) You move me very fast But can you last another day Get out of the way Wild wild tiger woman (wild wild wild wild) You gonna break you're little fall They call her the wild tiger woman Tied to the bed Tied to the bed Shes waitin' to be fed No pay to sir aday (? ) Cant see an ounce of reason in her head Don't laugh and turn away Chorus Need another girl to come and grab her by the tail As I was hoping that the ground would open up and take me in Life is so obscene and the remarks that go unseen Are being diminished to the earth Ill never find another girl All in the race Such a friendly face Seems clean and upper-class Young indecisive Minds are in a maze She lose me very fast Chorus |

Blackberry Way, absolutely pouring down with rain,
It's a terrible day. Up with the lark, silly girl I don't know what to say, She was running away. But now I'm standing on the corner, Lost in the things that I said. What am I supposed to do now? Goodbye, Blackberry Way I can't see you, I don't need you. Goodbye, Blackberry Way Sure to want me back another day. Flowers in the park overgrowing but the trees are bare There's a memory there. Boats on the lake, unattended now for all to drown I'm incredibly down. Just like myself they are neglected, Turn with my eyes to the wall What am I supposed to do now? Goodbye, Blackberry Way I can't see you, I don't need you. Goodbye, Blackberry Way Sure to want me back another day. Run for the train, look behind you for she may be there Said a thing in the air Blackberry Way, see the battlefield of careless sins Cast to the winds So full of emptiness without her, Lost in the words that I said. What am I supposed to do now? Goodbye, Blackberry Way I can't see you, I don't need you. Goodbye, Blackberry Way Sure to want me back another day. Goodbye, Blackberry Way I can't see you, I don't need you. Goodbye, Blackberry Way Sure to want me back another day. |

Mister McCann was a practical man,
Curly was his only son, And he loved him like no other can, Bi-dum, bi-dum, bi-dum. He discovered the world in a wonderful girl, Though he played with more than one. But he loved her like no other can. Bi-dum, bi-dum, bi-dum Chorus: Oh Curly has she let you down and run? Oh Curly where's your girly? Where's she gone? Ran all over the town, Till he covered the ground, Every inch of Liverpool, In a way I feel so bad That she let he be made a fool. But remember she's right, As we freeze in the night, When the dawn took years to come, Does he love her like no other can Bi-dum, bi-dum, bi-dum Chorus Now curse the day, Yes it really shook you good. Just broke away, no, You didn't feel she would. You didn't feel she would. La-da-da, na- na- na- na- Desolation tones play on Though it breaks you Curly Can't you see what she has gone and done? He discovered the world Such a wonderful girl, So he played with more than one, But he loved her like no other can Bi-dum, bi-dum, bi-dum Chorus Oh Curly, where's she gone? You didn't feel she would. Oh Curly, where's she gone? You didn't feel she would but she could. La-da-da, na-na-na, na-na-na |

Let the wind blow you out of my memory
Let the rain wash you out of my eyes Too many bad times of loving you Now I gotta realize That I can throw you right out of my mind And put you right back in your place Cause lightning never strikes twice in the same place I can live without loving you Carry on in the same old way Do anything I wanna do Say what I wanna say Cause I can throw you right out of my mind And put you right back in your place Cause lightning never strikes twice in the same place Lightning strike Lightning strike Your kind of woman just drags me down Want to put me on a ball and chain I was king till you took my crown I wanna win it back again Cause I can throw you right out of my mind And put you right back in your place Cause lightning never strikes twice in the same place Lightning strike Lightning strike |

Well her sister used to hate it,
So I never thought she'd make it. But she threw you all Supposing in a spangle wrapper. She will let you stroke her head, But if you move away your dead. She just break you up Before you realize it's happened. Chorus: But she can really do the brontosaurus And she can scream the heeby jeeby for us. Until you know what she's really got 'cos she can do it loud Well, she can do it, do it, do it! Now her daddy's getting old And he seemed to lose control When the brontosaurus Stormed into the house to trap her. Well her sister used to hate it So I never thought she'd make it. Until she shook you up Exactly like a firecracker Chorus: Really do the brontosaurus And she can scream the hee-by jee-by for us. Well you know she can really rock So do it, do it now. |
