Canyons Of Your Mind
(Stanshall)
(spoken during intro, as you well know)
This is the 'B' side of our platter, sports fans
In the canyons of your mind
'cross the mountains of your chest
incredible, bizarre guitar solo that is either brilliant, or entirely
My darling, in my cardboard colored dreams
And each time I hear your name
Ah... ah,
Oh... ah,
I... I mean it, I... mmm
Oh! (Burp #1) (Burp #2)

Carry On Melissa
This is a love song...
You flicker like a candle
Carry on, Melissa, carry on
Music to slash your wrists by...
You struggle like a poodle
Carry on, Melissa, carry on
All together now... snoring
Oh, God!
Well, I'm sorry for your cousin
Carry on, Melissa, carry on
All together now...
Perchance to dream?

Catchphrase
I wanna catchphrase, I wanna start a craze
Burn baby burn, shake baby shake,
I wanna catchphrase, I wanna start a craze
Burn baby burn, shake baby shake,
I wanna catchphrase, I wanna start a craze

Cats Don't Like The Rain
Rain drops pitter-patter,
Up above the clouds
Well I know sometimes I've treated you so badly
Listen to the four winds blow,
Don't misunderstand me,

Caveman's Dream
Tomorrow never comes
So now I'm livin' in a caveman's dream
I'm livin' in a caveman's hope
Hip Ho!
Electric toothbrush, eye-level grill
I'm living in a caveman's hope

Cezanne Says Anne
Annie went to art school
"I like Cezanne," says Anne,
They showed her Botticelli
"I like Cezanne," says Anne,
Time went by so slowly
"I like Cezanne," says Anne,
"I like Cezanne," says Anne,

Chalk and Cheese
My eyes are open, what do I see?
Chalk and cheese, water and wine
I see beauty and decay
Chalk and cheese, water and wine
People come and people go
Chalk and cheese, water and wine
Chalk and cheese, water and wine

Cheese And Onions
I have always thought

Do I have to spell it out?

Children's Song
All along the ocean floor
When I was a kid in school
All along the ocean floor
Now take a boy and take a girl,
All along the ocean floor

City of the Angels
An ordinary day in the City of the Angels
Paradise lost in the City of the Angels
Somewhere down in the valley
Paradise lost in the City of the Angels
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Come Out Into The Open
One two three!
The old brown rat that had smiles all the while
They heard not a word
"Don't make a fuss, there's no time to think,"
Whoa!
Woo hoo!
But they heard not a word
Let it all shine on, let it twist and spin
Woo woo hoo!
I'll shoot you down!
Come out into the open, let me see your face!
Alright!
Come out into the open, let me see your face!

Concrete Jungle Boy
In my high rise shoes I can walk tall
The teacher's a fool so I don't go to school
Snappin' my fingers, looking for fun
The music is loud and I like it a lot
Concrete jungle boy
I got time to kill and money to make
If I was a sinner, I would confess
Concrete jungle boy
Concrete jungle boy

Crystal Balls
I got m'hand up the skirt of Mother Nature

Just give me wide open spaces and clean living
Crystal balls (balls!)
(bum bum bum bum)
Crystal balls (balls!)

And I'm singing, just for you, covered in sequins.. uh ha
I will wander through your brain
To the ventricles of your heart, my dear
I'm in love with you again
I will stick a Union Jack
To the forest of your cheek, ah...
Through the holes in your string vest
made up on the spot, while drunk, with Viv screaming like a looney
to
incite further what the hell is this?
(Cardboard colored dreams)
Once again, I hear your laugh
(Oooh, oooh, oooh...)
And I kiss, yes, I kiss, your perfumed hair
(But she's not there)
The sweet essence of giraffe
(Of giraffe)
(Frying Pan, Frying Pan)
Oh, oh, oh, my, my, how, how it hurts
(He's in pain)
In the wardrobe of my soul
(Of my soul)
In the section labeled "Shirts"
(Aaah... aaah)
Well, it's not so much love song, it's more of a song about
the language of love...
El languo de l'amouro, you know the sort of thing, okay, sorry..
In the soft and gentle breezes
Of a deep sea diver's nightmare
At a boulevard decanter
You flutter like an eagle
In the corner of a jam jar
While the spinning wheel keeps turnin'
Like a broken tam o'shanter
There's a long, long way to go
Carry on, Melissa, carry on
It's a long, long time ago
Being stuffed into a suitcase
But you never dress for dinner
And you seldom dine alone
I'm hungry for your goulash
And I'm peckish for your pizza
But you drift amongst the shadows
Of your parking meter zone
There's a long, long way to go
Carry on, Melissa, carry on
It's a long, long time ago
ZZZZZZZZZZZ
With the twisted stick of licorice
And the poodle in the suitcase
And your ever-troubled mind
But why they keep on coming
There's no quick and easy answer
Let your fingers do the walkin'
If your toes are not inclined
There's a long, long way to go
Carry on, Melissa, carry on
It's a long long time ago
zzzzzzzzzzzzzzz
I wanna gimmick, I wanna hit
I'm just a poor boy with a song and a smile
And not just another shallow entertainer
I'm a clean-cut boy-next-door
A-tellin' what I know is true
I wanna catchphrase
I wanna start a craze
I wanna make love to you!
One foot on the gas and one foot on the brake
An eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth
A poet for a lie and a clown for the truth.
I wanna gimmick, I wanna hit

I wanna catchphrase
I wanna start a craze
I wanna make love to you (Indeed I do)
I wanna make love to you (Indeed I do)
I wanna make love to you
Runnin' down your window
Heaven knows it's oh-so cold outside
How could I ever think of walkin' out that door,
As if I didn't need your love anymore.
The sun is always shining
Or so they say, though I'm really not that sure
How could I ever think of walkin' out that door,
As if I didn't need your love anymore.
And I'm sorry if I caused you any pain
But you know me by now,
That's how I love you,
Just as true as you know cats don't like the rain.
I know you think I'm sleepin',
I love the way you touch me tenderly
How could I ever think of walkin' out that door,
As if I didn't need your love anymore.
How can I explain?
Just remember, cats don't like the rain
Remember, cats don't like the rain
Just remember, cats don't like the rain.
Or so the saying goes
So take each precious moment and make it last
It's all been said before
It's true, I know it's true
The present is the future of the past
No open fire, no nearby stream
No animal skins or flint for me
I got electric light and a lavatory!
Yeah!
With all mod cons to help me cope
Where luxuries are what they seem
I'm living in a caveman's dream!
Yeah
Well all right!
Three-speed blender, deep freeze too
Shampoo kit for my automobile
Progress, I love you!
With all mod cons to help me cope
Plus a life endowment to redeem
I'm living in a caveman's dream
yeah!
At the age of seventeen
Her drawings in a folio
To keep them looking clean
Her tutors all agreed[Image]
She had a certain "je ne sais quoi"
With her Modigliani body
And her face by Renoir
"He does something for me.
I like Cezanne," says Anne,
"It's not what you see.
The power of nature is something to feel.
I like Cezanne," says Anne,
"To me he's surreal."
Rembrandt, Bruegel, Ernst and Braque
And talked of chiaroscuro
Or the use of light and dark
But all they really wanted was to get her into bed
And everytime they tried at dawn,
This is what she said:
"He does something for me.
I like Cezanne," says Anne,
"It's not what you see.
The power of nature is something to feel.
"I like Cezanne," says Anne,
"To me he's surreal."
As in any school of art
She was all alone
Until they day she lost her heart
To a shy and gentle student
Whose name happened to be Paul
And so they hung their drawings
Side by side upon the wall
"He does something for me.
I like Cezanne," says Anne,
"It's not what you see.
The power of nature is something to feel.
I like Cezanne," says Anne,
"To me he's surreal."
"He does something for me.
I like Cezanne," says Anne,
"It's not what you see.
The power of nature is something to feel.
I like Cezanne," says Anne,
"To me he's surreal."
I see creation to some degree
The sun and moon, day and night
Big and small, wrong and right
I think our love needs a little more time
Time for each other, time to discover
That we got a lot in common
But it just takes time
Pretty ladies makin' hay
Little babies, sad old men
It's been the same since God knows when
I think our love needs a little more time
Time for each other, time to discover
That we got a lot in common
But it just takes time
The world is round, as we all know
But what shape is Harmony?
How wide the space 'tween you and me?
I think our love needs a little more time
Time for each other, time to discover
That we got a lot in common
But it just takes time
I think our love needs a little more time
Time for each other, time to discover
That we got a lot in common
But it just takes time
in the back of my mind
cheese and onions
that the world was unkind

Keep yourself clean (keep yourself clean)
Or be a has-been (ah ah)
Like a dinosaur... oh oh oh
For everything nice (everything nice)
You'd better think twice (ah ah)
At least once more... oh oh oh
Keep yourself clean (keep yourself clean)
Or be a has-been (ah ah)
Like a dinosaur... uh ho!
For everything nice (everything nice)
You'd better think twice (ah ah)
At least once mo ho hore!
Keep yourself clean (keep yourself clean)
Or be a has-been (aahaah)
Like a dinosaur oh oh oh oh ho!
Ooooh!
(Everything nice)
See how the good times roll
See how the good times roll away
invisible ink
or dreams in the cold light of day
The children of rock 'n roll
never grow old
they just fade away...
Unseen fish are swimming
High among the mountains
There are watchful eagles winging
Brown and wise, the forest eyes
Peek from their disguise
While the household fly with the compound eye
Sees one man a hundred times!
I learned to read and write
And every morning in the hall
we sang with all our might
School days are happy days but
then you have to go
And it only takes two hours to put down
all you need to know
Unseen fish are swimmin'
High among the mountains
There are watchful eagles wingin'
Brown and wise, the forest eyes
Peek from their disguise
While the household fly with the compound eye
Sees one man a hundred times
together they could save the world
If at first they don't succeed,
each generation sows its seed
Where there's life there's hope they say
but death comes in the strangest ways
Sometimes fast and sometimes slow but
when it comes, you'll be the last to know
Unseen fish are swimmin'
High among the mountains
There are watchful eagles wingin'
Brown and wise, the forest eyes
Peek from their disguise
While the household fly with the compound eye
Sees one man a hundred times
The temperature downtown was 85 and rising
On radio the Reverend Carwash
Proclaimed he was against abortion
Except in certain cases of rape
Involving different ethnic groups
While up and down the freeways
Expensive flesh was cruisin'
The clients of a plastic surgeon
Who was weeping on an analyst's couch
Paradise lost pandemonium found (have a nice day!)
Paradise lost in the City of the Angels
Paradise lost pandemonium found
In the City of the Angels
An innocent man was shot dead
By cops on a routine patrol
Looking for a rooftop sniper
When they challenged him and asked his name
They believed he was reaching for a gun
But it was only a medical card
That said he had a speech impediment
And on t.v. Mister MetamorPHOsis
Said he could name that tune in three
But Missus Tweedledum from Arkansas
Beat him when she did it in one
Paradise lost pandemonium found (haaaave a niiice daaaayyy!)
Paradise lost in the City of the Angels
Paradise lost pandemonium found
In the City of the Angels
Produced a cake with a file from his hat
"Don't leave me here," said the watersnake
And began to shake with fear
"I know him of old!" cried the unicorn
With his shiny horn of gold
"I'll shoot you down, come out into the open,"
Said the sad-faced clown
And they sat around drinkin' all day
And the word was absurd
Because they'd taken all the mirrors away
In a cloud of ink said the octopus
"Who needs proof?" said the transplanted pig
Adjusting his wig with his hoof
"It's a lovely day," said the doormouse
As his little house blew awaaay
"I'll shoot you down! Come out into the open,"
Said the sad-faced clown
And they sat around drinkin' all day
But the word was absurd
Because they'd taken all the mirrors away
I hope you win, dear John
"It's no crime," said the master spy
with a narrow eye, "Just a waste of time."
"Don't be juvenile, it's contempt of court,"
Said the judge with a snort at the trial
"I'll shoot you down! Come out into the open,"
Said the sad-faced clown
Alright!
Alright!
Alright!
And revisionism's looking blue
Get into ze kitchen get out your pans
And cook a little dish or two
Whenever ze decline of ze capitalist system
Seems to be coming true
Get into your kitchen get out your pans
And cook a little dish or two
Here's our recipe if you want to be free
The future lies in your hands
Don't go on bitchin'
Get into the kitchen
And rattle, rattle, rattle zem pots and pans
Whenever you've shot all ze people to shoot
And you've shot ze firing squad too
Get into ze kitchen get out your pans
And shoot a little dish or two
Shoot one for me Joe!
And shoot a little dish or two
Make mine a bourgeois!
And shoot a little dish or two
two

I'm a concrete jungle boy
I can write my name all over a wall
I'm a concrete jungle boy
I just hang around playin' it cool
I'm a concrete jungle boy
Wearin' my shirt with the buttons undone
I'm a concrete jungle boy
I got what it takes so I take what its got
Concrete jungle boy
Concrete jungle boy
You're nobody's mother's pride and joy
I'm a concrete jungle boy
I don't do for real what I can fake
I'm a concrete jungle boy
I look at the world and I want my share
But though I keep moving I'm going nowhere
But I'm just a beginner, I couldn't care less
All that I am is standing right here
Between my legs and between my ears
Concrete jungle boy
Concrete jungle boy
You're nobody's mother's pride and joy
Concrete jungle boy
Concrete jungle boy
You're nobody's mother's pride and joy
Britannia, you are cool
Take a trip!
Britons ever ever ever
Shall be hip
Hip me! Hip me!
I got m'foot in the door of liberty
I got m'head stuck in the railings of reason
Thank God for the banjo on m'knee
To fortune tellers
Reveal a swarm
of what-will-bees (zoom zoom zoom zoom)
All in all (all in all)
Like clocks and watches (bong - cuckoo!)
We got time on our hands and destinies
I've broken down and I've been towed
I've seen everything I ever hoped and dreamed for
Squashed like a hedgehog in the road
To fortune tellers
Reveal a swarm
of what-will-bees (zoom zoom zoom zoom)
All in all (all in all)
Like clocks and watches (bong - cuckoo!)
We got time on our hands and destinies
As long as I've a banjo to pluck
I'll sing to the cactus and coyotes
Hippity-hi, hippity-ho, que serarrr!
