Golf Girl
|
|
Standing on a golf course Dressed in P.V.C. I chanced upon a Golf Girl Selling cups of tea She asked me did I want one Asked me with a grin For three pence you can buy one Full right to the brim So of course I had to have one In fact I ordered three So I could watch the Golf Girl Could see she fancied me And later on the golf course After drinking tea It started raining golf balls And she protected me Her name was Pat And we sat under a tree She kissed me We go for walks In fine weather All together On the golf course We talk in morse |

Winter Wine How you're always flowing, blowing in my mind Like a stream, these magic waters move me to a dream Of travelling with you, drifting carefree, dropping downward through fresh grasses Bubbles merrily as it passes, never knowing where you're going Carry me with you, carry me with you Be conjured up in a midnight dream, ancient castles dark As wandering minstrels play tunes of yesterday When dragons roamed the land, knights in armour cold Charged on horseback bold The maids were saved, the dragons slain Sail scene, sea green - sailing forward to a new land Treasure waits, paradise gates, for the taking, don't start waking All you need, but take heed, remember it pays to pay the sandman well Make no fuss, for you must - in stardust, he puts all the colours in your dreams Bells chime three times, naked dancers enter slowly Smoky room, scented gloom, audience eating, fat men drinking Candles burn, a dull red light illuminates the breasts of four young girls Dancing, prancing, provoking - dreams are always ending far too soon Life's too short to be sad, wishing things you'll never have You're better off not dreaming of the things to come Dreams are always ending far too soon Sounds of a distant melody, once played, lost from memory Funny how it's clearer now, you're close to me We'll be together all the time |

Love to Love You (And Tonight Pigs Will Fly)
|
|
I dreamed of all the magic things that be When we'd ride to a dock on bended knee But you'd just smile and gently shake your head And put a hole through me so I was dead Oh, I'd fall down and I was left alone With a feeling of you still that was my own Oh, I would love to, love to love you Yes, indeed, I do love you, love you My, my, pigs might fly, that can't be bad How you have the cheek to smile and tell me I'm mad A man came through the wall and stood by me Complete with bag of nuts and fancy free He said without a tonal fleeting glance "I'd like to get deep down inside your pants" How you opened up his head and smiled And rubbish from your mouth you ticked inside Oh, I would love to, love to love you Yes, indeed, I do love you, love you My, my, pigs might fly, that can't be bad How you have the cheek to smile and tell me I'm mad |

In the land of grey and pink where only boy-scouts stop to think They'll be coming back again, those nasty grumbly grimblies And they're climbing down your chimney, yes they're trying to get in Come to take your money - isn't it a sin, they're so thin? They've black buckets in the sky, don't leave your dad in the rain Cigarettes burn bright tonight, they'll all get washed down the drain So we'll sail away for just one day to the land where the punk weed grows Won't need any money, just fingers and your toes And when it's dark our boat will park on a land of warm and green Pick our fill of punk weed and smoke it till we bleed, that's all we'll need While sailing back in morning light, we'll wash our teeth in the sea And when the day gets really bright, we'll go to sea drinking tea So we'll sail away for just one day to the land where the punk weed grows Won't need any money, just fingers and your toes And when it's dark our boat will park on a land of warm and green Pick our fill of punk weed and smoke it till we bleed, that's all we'll need They've black buckets in the sky, don't leave your dad in the rain Cigarettes burn bright tonight, they'll all get washed down the drain |

Look at the day that is dawning: what do you see with your eyes? Think of me now while you're yawning, sunshine the tears from my cries What I see I know is real, what I touch I know I feel If I don't care for what you say, it won't mean much to me today For I see your world that is living, my mind is yours, yours is mine Don't talk to me 'bout forgiving, so much to do, no more time All my love goes straight to you with just a thought for something new All I have is what you feel with hands in mouth, you gently kneel What I see I know is real, what I touch I know I feel All my love goes straight to you, all my love is you... There's a place where I can go, where I listen to the wind singing Songs of happiness I know, and it brings it all back again Somewhere deep inside of me, there's a song that I can sing Jigsaw puzzles on a tree, and it brings it all back again Will the day be warm and bright, or will it snow? There are people waiting here who really want to know And sometimes I think of wine, songs and laughter flowing free People talking all the time, and it brings it all back to me Will the day be warm and bright, or will it snow? There are people waiting now who really have to know Can't you feel it in the air? I wonder what it's meant to be It's the thought that can't be spared, and it brings it all back to me Yes it brings it all back to me |
