Oh, Craig
 

Oh, Craig
Why are you so vague?
I need your loving
Like I need the plague

Old Fashioned Day
 

Just an old fashioned day in the country
Under heavenly skies of blue
Just an old fashioned day in the country
With nothing better to do

Just an old fashioned day in the country
Sunlight sparkling through the trees
Just an old fashioned day in the country
Doing anything we please

There's no need to worry
About a single thing
The snail is on the thorn
The lark is on the wing

Just an old fashioned day in the country
Where the dandelions tell the time
Just an old fashioned day in the country
With old fashioned hills to climb

One Thing On Your Mind
 

Well her clothes left nothin' to the imagination
Everything was in the right places; she was pure temptation
I watched the way she fingered the stem of her champagne glass
And with her long lashed eyes and ruby lips, I knew she was high class
And all the while her hair hung down to her gownless evening strap
And I said "Haven't we met someplace before honey?"
And she said "Cut the crap."

You men are all alike,
you've got just one thing on your mind
One thing on your mind
one thing on your mind
You men are all the same
you've got just one thing on your mind
One thing on your mind!

Well I was somewhat taken by surprise and even lost for a word
I started up a conversation;
I was not about to be deterred!
I talked about the third world crisis and the state of the economy
I touched on God and religion, human rights and equality
And I said when it came to women's liberation, every sister had a brother
And then I asked her if she fancied some of this cheese
Or a bit of the other

She said you men are all alike, you've got just one thing on your mind
One thing on your mind, one thing on your mind
You men are all the same you've got just one thing on your mind
One thing on your mind!

Well the linesman's flag was up and the referee's whistle blown
He pointed to the spot without hesitation and we were on our own
And to cut the long story short we got together and we named a day
We bought a house near the top of the league with a garden where the kids
can play
And at night when they're tucked up real safe in bed, she comes up real
close to me
And I say "Not just now honey,
There's football on tv."

You men are all alike, you've got just one thing on your mind
One thing on your mind, one thing on your mind
You men are all the same, you've got just one thing on your mind
One thing on your...

Tiny mind!

One Two Three, Lay One On Me
 

Life is such a lonely road
Full of little ups and downs
Some say it's a dead end street
But they are silly clowns

One two thee, lay one on me
One two three, lay one on me
Three four five, watch me come alive
One two three, lay one on me

OO-Chuck-A-Mao-Mao
 

Evertime I turn the radio on
I get OO-Chuck-A-Mao-Mao, OO-Chuck-A-Mao-Mao
All night long
Everybody singin' the same kind of song
And it goes OO-Chuck-A-Mao-Mao, OO-Chuck-A-Mao-Mao
All night long
Everybody groovin' the same kind of beat
And it goes OO-Chuck-A-Mao-Mao, OO-Chuck-A-Mao-Mao
Tap your feet
Everybody feelin' cooool out in the street
Goin' OO-Chuck-A-Mao-Mao, OO-Chuck-A-Mao-Mao
Tap your feet

"Weep weepy oooooo!"
Goes the guitar man
"Boom ba aboom boom ba
A do gong do gong do gong do gong da boodla boodla boodla!"
Goes the drummer man
"Boom boom boom boom,"
Goes the man on the bass
And we go "OO-Chuck-A-Mao-Mao-Mao-Mao-Mao!"
All over the place

OO-Chuck-A-Mao-Mao, OO-Chuck-A-Mao-Mao
Drivin' your car
OO-Chuck-a-Mao-Mao, OO-Chuck-a-Mao-How
Happy you are
OO-Chuck-A-Mao-Mao, OO-Chuck-A-Mao-Mao
Ram a lam bam
Transistors and brothers
Kick out the jam!

Whooo! Hooey! Wheee! Hey! Oooh! Hey!

Think about the kind of song you rinse and return
And you've got OO-Chuck-A-Mao-Mao, OO-Chuck-A-Mao-Mao
Easy to learn
Think about a candle with both ends to burn
And it's OO-Chuck-A-Mao-Mao, OO-Chuck-A-Mao-Mao
Easy to learn
What about a needle without any thread?
That ole' OO-Chuck-A-Mao-Mao, OO-Chuck-A-Mao-Mao
Sticks in your... head
Even the ?backwells? under the bed
Is full of OO-Chuck-A-Mao-Mao, OO-Chuck-A-Mao-Mao
What I just said

Rock me crazy, split my head
Wake me up in the mornin', and put me to bed
Say what you say for the rest of the day
Cause it all sound like OO-Chuck-A-Mao-Mao
Anyway

OO-Chuck-A-Mao-Mao, OO-Chuck-A-Mao-Mao
Drivin' your car
OO-Chuck-A-Mao-Mao, OO-Chuck-A-Mao-Mao
So good so far
OO-Chuck-A-Mao-Mao, OO-Chuck-A-Mao-Mao
Strawberry jam
Transistors and brothers
Kick out the jams!
OO-Chuck-A-Mao-Mao, OO-Chuck-A-Mao-Mao
We live so fine
OO-Chuck-A-Mao-Mao, OO-Chuck-A-Mao-Mao
So down the line
OO-Chuck-A-Mao-Mao, OO-Chuck-A-Mao-I
Can't understand it
It's like makin' love to a one-armed bandit

Come on, babe, I love you!
Whoo!
Let's give us one more try
Come on, come on, come on, come on

Don't you wink your nobbies at me!

Paranoia
 

Well, I'm a kid's boat stuck in the weeds
I'm a stray dog nobody feeds
I'm a surplus nobody needs
Who am I foolin'?

I'm a bigshot, I'm a millionaire
I'm a genius, I got brains to spare
I'm Napoleon, and there's a world out there
I could be ruling

Paranoia
Can annoy ya
Paranoia
Can annoy ya
Schizophrenia
Gets in between ya
Oh! Blame it on society!

Well, I'm an insect covered in spray
I'm a chip bag for chucking away
I'm a victim of moral decay
... hang on a mo.....

I'm a champion
I'm second to none
I'm a film star havin' some fun
I'm all the superheroes rolled into one
I'll have you know!

Paranoia
Can annoy ya
Paranoia
Can annoy ya
Schizophrenia
Gets in between ya
Oh! Blame it on society!

(Paranoia)
(Paranoia)

Schizophrenia
Gets in between ya
Oh! Blame it on society!
Oh! Blame it on society!

Piggy Bank Love
 

She runs a Greenshield library
Saves everything she's got
For her wedding day
Save all day, that's okay
But give me some of that piggy bank lovin'
Some of that piggy bank lovin'
Some of that piggy bank lovin'
Piggy bank love, piggy bank love

She dreams of cheap land, children,
Towels labeled his and hers
Plaster ducks in pairs
Flying up the stairs
Some of that piggy bank lovin'
Some of that piggy bank lovin'
Some of that piggy bank lovin'
Piggy bank love
Piggy bank love

Do do do do do
Do do do do do
Do do do do
Do ooo wooo

That's okay, save all day

We'll make her mother happy
With tinted photographs
Of our wedding day
Smile all day, make 'em laugh
But gimme some of that piggy bank lovin'
Some of that piggy bank lovin'
Some of that piggy bank lovin'
Piggy bank love
Piggy bank love

Some of that piggy bank lovin'
Some of that piggy bank lovin'
Some of that piggy bank lovin'

Some of
Some of
Some of
Some of

Piggy in the Middle
 

I know you know what you know
But you should know by now that you're not me
Talk about a month of Sundays
Toffee-nosed wet weekend as far as I can see

Hey, diddle diddle (whooo!)
The cat and the fiddle (whooo!)
Piggy in the middle (whooo!)
Do a poo poo

Bible punching heavyweight
Evangelistic boxing kangaroo
Orangutan and anaconda
Donald Duck, Mickey Mouse, even Pluto, too

Hey, diddle diddle (whooo!)
The cat and the fiddle (whooo!)
Piggy in the middle (whooo!)
Do a poo poo

tekraaam ot tnew eiggip elttil siht

One man's civilization is another man's jungle, yeah
They say revolution's in the air
I'm dancing in my underwear
'Cause I don't care

Hey diddle diddle (whooo!)
The cat and the fiddle (whooo!)
Piggy in the middle (whooo!)
Do a poo poo
Do a poo poo
oink oink

Walkie-talkie man says "'ello, 'ello, 'ello,"
With his ballerina boots you can tell he's always on his toes
Hanging from a Christmas tree
Creeping like the Bogeyman, gettin' up my nose

Hey diddle diddle (whooo!)
The cat and the fiddle (whooo!)
Piggy in the middle (whooo!)
Do a poo poo
A poo poo
Poo

..piggy had roast beef
and this little piggy had none
This little piggy went WOOOOOOO!!
....all the way home

This little piggy went to market
And this little piggy stayed home
This little piggy had roast beef
and this little piggy had none
This little piggy went Wooo..oooo!
All the way home
(oink oink)
Now this little piggy went to market
And this little piggy stayed at home
And This little piggy had roast beef
and this little piggy had none
This little piggy went Woooo!
All the way home, all the way home

Now this little piggy went to market
And this little piggy stayed at home
This little piggy had roast beef!
and this little piggy had none!
Poor Piggy!
This little piggy went...
Ooooooooo

Plenty of Time
 

Look at the day; look all around you
Look at the way it all surrounds you
Sunshine spills over the hills and I can
hear them saying
We've got plenty of time if you want it
We've got plenty of time
We've got plenty of time if you want it
We've got plenty of time
Plenty of time

Look at the sky; it has no ending
How can I fly without pretending
How can it be even leaves on a tree seem to be saying

We've got plenty of time if you want it
We've got plenty of time
We've got plenty of time if you want it
We've got plenty of time
Plenty of time

Heaven's above, hell is below
We're in the middle
And that's how it goes

We've got plenty of time if you want it
We've got plenty of time
We've got plenty of time if you want it
We've got plenty of time
Plenty of time

Slow down (it's so good to)

Slow down, (it's so good to)

Slow down (it's so good to)

Slow down (it's so good to)

Slow down (it's so good to)

Slow down (it's so good to)

Slow down

Slow down

Postcard (Stanshall/Innes)
 

Oh, I do like to be beside the sea

Drinking bear sits in Silver's Arcade
Sips imaginary lemonade
Amusement Pork!

Writing letters home
What a lovely view-EE-ooo (blah blah blab blab) (Dear Mom)
"What the Butler Saw" was a bit of a drag
The captain says he's going to heave, too

Bored with Bingo, we went for a swim
Fat sea cows with gorgonzola skin
Semi-nude!

After lunch, we grabbed our trunks
And we all got cramp!
Trousers rolled, the sea is cold
But it's good for chillblains

On the prom, white plimsolls and blue shorts
Brass band playing by the tennis courts
Love-fifteen! Love fifteen year olds

What a lovely view-EE-ooo, I've written at last
What's the rudest one? Just for a laugh
Just married and it sticks out for a mile!

We wish you were here
We wish you were here
We wish you were here
We wish you were here
We wish you were here
We wish you were here
We wish you were here
We wish you were here
We wish you were here
We wish you were here
We wish you were here
We wish you were here
We wish you were here

It rained yesterday, so we stayed indoors
The food's all right, I'm okay, hope you are same
Wish you were always, your loving son Anthony

I hope I get bronze this year

Protest Song
 

This next song is a protest song. Ladies and gentleman,
I've suffered for my music, now it's your turn.

All the prophets of doom
can always find room
In a world full of worry and fear
Tip cigarettes and chemistry sets
And rudolph the red-nosed reindeer
So I'm goin back to my little old shack
And drink me a bottle of wine
That was mis en bouteille before my birthday
And have me a fuckin' good time

Rain on a tin roof sounds like a drum
We're marching for freedom today
Yeay
Turn on your headlights and sound your horn
If people get in the way

Let me turn you on to the chromium swan
On the nose of a long limousine
Even hired for the day it is something to say
But what the hhehhellll does it mean
I may be accused of being confused
But I'm average weight for my height
My philosophy like color tv
Is all there in black and white

Rain on a tin roof sounds like a drum
We're marching for freedom today
yeay!
Turn on your headlights and sound your horn
If people get in the way
