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 |

First of all let me describe
Nature's struggle to survive Just a weary group of people Waiting for the world to end Feel it spreading rapidly Radioactivity Bound together by a legend To protect us and defend (chorus) Lead us to the yellow rainbow Just in case the earth should fall If you find the yellow rainbow You could save us all Serpent's tongue 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 a yellow rainbow Ferry lights to keep them warm (repeat) I can take the atmosphere and chase it down Overactive mind works like an underground Fear our hope's about to be Buried in obscurity Saw a man with eyes like saucers Caught up in a web of light Hatch that opened up before us Cast a rainbow big and bright Lead us to the yellow rainbow Just in case the earth should fall |

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 |

Cast your mind back ten years
To the girl who's next to me in school If I put my hand upon her leg She'd hit me with a rule Though tomorrow won't be long You're gonna have to play it cool You've been 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 feel 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've been 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 We're gonna have to play it cool You've been 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 |

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 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 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 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 Kilroy was here Though I've never seen his face |

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 |

She's got me strollin'
So you wonder why Man I was rollin' She has all I got Feel too good What can you do? Can't seem to control myself So how can I talk to you? Beg her in the garden Taking a stairway home Something hit me harder Hits me like a stone Feel too good What can you do? Can't seem to control myself So how can I talk to you? If it should be questioned I can feel the heat Minor inflation Stabs you in the street Feel too good What can you do? Can't seem to control myself So how can I talk to you? Feel too good What can you do? Can't seem to control myself So how can I talk to you? Feel too good What can you do? Can't seem to control myself So how can I talk to you? I feel too good Feel too good feel too good Yeah hey yeah What can you do? |

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. |

Woke up one morning half asleep
With all my blankets in a heap And yellow roses scattered all around The time was still approaching four I couldn't stand it anymore Saw marigolds upon my eiderdown 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 good So I lay upon my side With all the windows open 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 (repeat) If this perfect pleasure has to be Then this is paradise to me 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 Relieved 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 (repeat) Watching flowers in the rain Flowers in the rain Power flowers in the rain Flower power in the rain (fade out) |

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 store 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, could see their minds As I watched them drift away, all singing Chorus Three small bodies 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 erector You know I'm innocent I just didn't expect their trip to last With the gale force that crossed their path I could see them sinking fast, still singing Chorus Three small bodies 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 erector 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 Chorus Chorus Follow me, follow me, follow me Chorus |

Hey Mr. judge, your trams are coming down the line
The car don't weigh too much if you can take some friends of mine I've heard they smuggle immigrants Along the western (middle?) line One summer time ... gypsy caravan Being so inclined run over the inspector man Discovered they were yellow And promptly threw them in the can Chorus Turn over turn over Turn over turn over Turn over turn over I'd hate to throw you back again Oh yes Turn the volume up until you blow the speaker cone Hey Mr. judge you have to give your dog a bone There's a rhino in the kitchen Send him on a tram back home Repeat first verse Chorus |

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. Payne at the door again With the news about her operation Will her god ever make the rain Wash away such useless information Chorus 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 astrakan It's been the same for years so I remember Chorus Chorus Hundreds of people filling my head with useless information Chorus |

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 fall 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 some boy 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" |

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 I'm going off my head Suddenly from flowered skies Twenty thousand butterflies Glorify my bed... 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 Chorus 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 Chorus |
