LOOK AT ME I’M YOU

Look at me I’m you, look at me I’m you
Well, well, if it’s not another day
Should have known it would come again
Oh well, I had best be on my way
Down the road in the pouring rain
The air is filled with coal dust
From smokey chimney pots
The rain is making mirrors
And everything I see just seems to rot

Poor old Charlie, you’re so poorly
Why don’t you go back to bed
Sweet dreams give your mind a chance to
Look at me I’m you, look at me I’m you
Look at me I’m you, look at me I’m you

Well, well, Charlie MacIntosh I am
It is all that has stuck with me
Farewell, little boy you are a man
MacIntosh sells machinery
My life has dragged along in
A most depressing way
All that seemed right was wrong and
Echoes around my empty thoughts today
Charlie boy!
Poor old Charlie, he was poorly (Well well, if it’s not another day)
For a long time. Now he’s passed on. (Oh well, I had best be on my way)
Look at me I’m you, look at me I’m you
Look at me I’m you, look at me I’m you… (Repeat 5 times)

I’LL BE LATE FOR TEA

What would you do if you had a bus?

Hurry up sleep take me or I’ll be late for tea
Hurry up sleep take me or I’ll be late for tea
I was lying on my bed looking out the widow
Sleep taking over from my head and my mind would soon go
Fell down to the floor. No one saw, but my room laughed at me
Cause I’ll be late for tea
Oh it’s just a dream, I know
But if I’m late she will go,
And my princess will just flow away
I’ll be late for tea
Hurry up sleep take me or I’ll be late for tea
Hurry up sleep take me or I’ll be late for tea
So I have to try once more, for I was in a hurry
Pick myself up from the floor
She’d be waiting for me
Got back into bed, hoped my mind would soon set me free
Or I’ll be late for tea
Hurry up sleep take me or I’ll be late for tea
Hurry up sleep take me or I’ll be late for tea

THE REMARKABLE SAGA OF THE FROZEN DOG

This song is dedicated to the original freak-out man. His name is…

Won’t you come and tell me where you’ve been you silly little frozen dog
Won’t you come and tell me where you’ve been you silly little frozen dog
I’ll tell you a tale about a frozen dog, he’g gone (gone gone gone gone)
Went out one day and opened up his thoughts (thoughts thoughts thoughts thoughts)
He was frozen then but he’s not anymore, he’s got things to do,
Places to build
Now he’s out in the country side (side side side side)
Digging up lots of little things to do (do do do do)
He was frozen then but he’s not anymore, he’s got things to do,
Places to build
He’s got places to build, lots of places to build
Won’t you come and tell me where you’ve been you silly little frozen dog
Won’t you come and tell me where you’ve been you silly little frozen dog
Now he’s wagging this tail and killing flies (flies flies flies flies)
Shouting at cows and eating wooly sheeps (sheep sheep sheep sheep)
He was frozen then but he’s not anymore, he’s got things to do And places to build
Now he’s found his true vocation in life (life life life life)
He’s fell in love with a lady who sings folk music
He was frozen then but he’s not anymore, he’s got things to do
And places to build He’s got places to build, lots of places to build
Won’t you come and tell me where you’ve been you silly little frozen dog
Won’t you come and tell me where you’ve been you silly little frozen dog
Come and tell me where you’ve been you silly little frozen dog
Won’t you come and tell me where you’ve been you silly little frozen dog…(Repeat 7 times)

TELEGRAM TUESDAY

Telephones broken But there’s something on my mind
Telegram Tuesday that’s all I can do
Telegram Tuesday that’s all I can do
It’s been a bad time, lonely days and lonely nights
Telegram Tuesday that’s all I can do
Telegram Tuesday, but what words can I use
Well can I say that all the blame was on my part?
Or can I say that she is without a heart?
But I forget who I’m writing to
The only words I need to use is “I love you”
It’s been a bad time, lonely day and lonely nights
Telegram Tuesday that’s all I can do
Telegram Tuesday, but what words can I use
Well can I say that she is without a heart?
Or can I say that all the blame was on my part?
But I forget who I’m writing to
The only words I need to use is “I love you”

LOVE IS

She was only the thorn in my foot,
But I loved her just the same

Little square that we knew
Orange dress you knew I liked
very way about you
Love is vanishing overnight
Records that we listened to
Ornaments upon your shelf
The void I’m falling into
Love is gone. I blame myself
How was I to know I’d feel this way
But I do, and if you have ever felt the same way, too,
You’ll know just what I’m going through
Lingering of lost times
Loneliness comes with the night
Bell within a church chimes
Love that now is out of sight

WHAT’S IT FOR

Eh, let me say right away, that lest it has slipped you mind, eh,
This record is electrically recorded.
Electrically electrically. OH! Electrically! Oh!

What’s it for, this need for loving that once more
Is whispering unlock the door and let someone come through to find
The sip of love I leave behind In loving you
Unsure of quite what is true
Let that all go, I tell myself
What’s it for, I answer
And close the door, I answer
Why do I question her every thought I make?
What’s it for? The mere existence of a door
Is something to be grateful for, And after all what can I do
but hope what I call love is true
As I feel now. No asking questions this time
As I feel now, I wonder how “What’s it for” Existed
And open doors resisted
So I won’t question all the love I make
(Repeat entire last paragraph one more time)

PEOPLE OF THE ROYAL PARKS

Just take the caps up an octave, and you’ll be looking fine.
Georgie, you’re out of tune. You’re out of tune, man.

The people who run the Royal Parks will be happy some of these days
No more flowers and ice cream will never spoil their grass
They won’t have to smile if they don’t want to
They can read their Sunday papers
The people who run the Royal Parks will be happy some of these days
The people from the Parliament will be laughing any day now
They’ve closed the pub stations and locked the parks on a Sunday afternoon
They won’t have to endure smiling people
Love won’t get in their eyes
The people from the Parliament will be laughing any day now
They’ll be happy
They’ll be smiling
They’ll go to the races
They’ll drink scotch whiskey
They’ll practice smiling
The people that we know are happy all the time
All they want to do is spread a little sunshine for you
So please let us throw out flowers
We wont break the path keeper’s glasses
The people that we know are happy all of the time

WHAT ON EARTH

Introduction words, introduction words, introduction words…

What on earth am I doing here
Waiting for the world to stop raining
I shall go out
Before it all goes down the drain
What on earth are you doing there
Looking very much like you don’t care
Come on out and see
It’s not so bad
You should be glad
And It’s so true
You’ll feel much better the wetter you get
We are ever so clean
Cleaner that the tub on a washing machine
What on earth was that all about?
Granny takes the kids for an outing
Look at them play
Making all they can of the day
Why on earth are we wasting time
Waiting for a life of sunshine
Come on out and see
It’s not so bad
You should be glad
And it’s so true
It could be fine, full of sunshine
If you want to
What on earth am I doing here What on earth are you doing here
What on earth am I doing here What on earth are you doing here

MRS. MURPHY’S BUDGERIGAR

If I had a bus I’d, ah…….

Mrs. Murphy’s budgerigar is lost today
Nobody’s really certain why it ran away
It wan’t that she didn’t feed it, cause she was very kind
So if you see it, would you mind just phoning?
There’s a lady with a rusty pram to sell
Is she joking when she says it runs quite well?
Any reasonable offer will not refuse. I’m sure
She’ll even bring it to your door for inspection
If I was very rich, I know
I’d buy old bikes that didn’t go to see old ladies smiling
Someones got a train set and that’s a thing I’m for
This one so they say will cover half your floor
I bet somebody’s crying a little in that house today
Because they have to move away and sell everything
Mrs. Murphy’s budgerigar, I know you’re free
Certainly it’s nicer living in your tree
But Mrs. Murphy’s budgerigar won’t you just visit home
Cause Mrs. Murphy’s missing you. She’s all alone

I WILL BRING YOU THIS AND THAT

Well of course we’d, uh, like to give praises to all the bands, but, ah, everyone cant win.

Every time I call or phone, you’re always in
All you seem to talk about is where you’ve been
Don’t want to sound unkind. What’s going on in your tiny mind?
You’re dreaming all the time
I will bring you this and that. You can find out where you’re at.
I will bring you cardboard dishes. You can put your cardboard wishes in them, oo
Lalalala……
Looking good is understood to be just fine
But you’re just like a golden cup without the wine
You got the wrong things in few. Nobody’s gonna carry you.
Your should read some new books
I will bring you plastic flowers. You can play with them for hours.
I will bring you a balloon. You can float up to the moon
Some rainy time
Why can’t you see how it could be
And maybe I’d sympathize with you
Open up your eyes for you
If you let me
I will bring you something fair
Something lingering in the air
I will bring you love on Monday
Every other day and Sunday
You will see
Lalalalalal……

MISTER WATCHMAKER

Ready, ahem, ah

Mister Watchmaker,
Make me a watch that has not time
So I can stay as I am today
For tommorrow she’ll be gone
Mr. Watchmaker,
Give me a little for you have so much
So I can hide deep down inside
Of a memory
Yesterday time, well I would know when she was happy
But now there are tears in her eyes, and what else can that be?
Tell me
Mister Watchmaker,
Make me a watch that has not time
So I can stay as I am today
For tommorrow she’ll be gone

WHEN THE ALARM CLOCK RINGS

Jim’s been very upset lately. Nobody understands his guitar playing.
So here he is to explain it for himself.

When the alarm clock rings, you know I’ve got news
When the alarm clock rings, you know I’ve got news
When the alarm clock rings, time to wake up
It’s so cold outside. Why don’t you spend the day there?
If you keep this day for yourself, no one will care (Keep on sleeping, keep on sleeping, keep on sleeping, keep on

sleeping)
When the alarm clock rings, (Time to wake up)
Another day it brings. (Time to wake up(
A day of nowhere things. (Time to get)
Your valuesu sorted out. (It’s up to you)
And if you’re still in doubt, realize
There’s no use thinking. You’ve got to go
There’s no use caring. You boss will know
No use doing things you don’t believe, believe, believe, believe in
Think of things you’ll do during this new day of toiling
Think of things you’ll wear while your eggs are boiling
When the alarm clock rings (Time to wake up)
Another day it brings (Time to wake up)
It’s up to you (Time to wake up)
What will you do (Time to wake up)
It’s up to you (Time to wake up)
What will you do

THE INTREPID BALLOONISTS HANDBOOK, VOL 1

(Introduction in German)

Once upon a time, last week
A delightful creature passed my way
To win her, we would have to roam
Away somewhere and be alone
Now won’t you fly into the sky
It’s peaceful there, no passers-by
Just say the word and very soon
We’ll go sailing off in my balloon
Don’t be afraid you wont fall out
I’ve been up many times before
No my dear, you won’t be ill.
I’ve even got a skysick pill.
Oh I can’t wait to take you there
Providing that the weather’s fair
I promise not to go to far
While we’re sailing up in my balloon
You will? You’ll come? Ah, splendid stuff!
I hope the breezes aren’t to rough
Oh, just step inside, there’s room I hope
While I release the mooring rope
My dear, you’re floating to the sky
You seem to be going ever so high
I cannot hold this horrid rope!
Oh gosh, I don’t think there’s any hope
Really, you’re going ever so high, Felicity! I’ll never be able to reach you now

YOU

(Backward recording, reversed it says “Hm hm hm, Well of course, it’s uh… Well, no, we don’t have a reputation. In fact

we’re quite unknown. Unknown.)

I feel happy just to realize
Live with you just simplifies
Cause Love is living
And I’m giving
All of mine
To you
Complications go down the drain
I love the sun and I love the rain
Cause I feel high
Beneath the sky
The reason why
Is you
Cause you just make me
And you wont break me
Cause you elate me
It’s definitely
You
Complications go down the drain
I love the sun and I love the rain
Cause I feel high
Beneath the sky
The reason why
Is you
It’s you, it’s you, it’s you, it’s you

PEACE LOVING MAN

Take this bomb, drop it on old Hong Kong
Oh no no, you ain’t gonna get me at things like that
Take this gun, go and have a little fun
Oh no no, you ain’t gonna give me that, things like that
Peace loving man, I’m a peace loving man
And I do what I can, yes I do
And I’ve got my eye on the sly little men
Who are putting the finger on you
And when things ain’t right, I don’t wanna fight
I’d rather go and sit in the rain
Peace lovin’ man, I’m a loving man and
I won’t tell you again
They’re so kind, they’re really gonna twist your mind
Oh no no, you ain’t gonna give me no things like that

Confusion, confusion
Can we help you
Confusion, confusion
Can you help us
Confusion, confusion
Do you want to be a part of this
Confusion for the rest of your entire…
Do you, do you
Oh no no, you ain’t gonna get me
Oh no no, you ain’t gonna get me

Peace loving man, I’m a peace loving man
And I do what I can, yes I do
And I’ve got my eye on the sly little men
Who are putting the finger on you
And when things ain’t right, I don’t wanna fight
I’d rather go and sit in the rain
Peace lovin’ man, I’m a peace loving man and
I won’t tell you again
Listen to all their lies
Not again, not again, not again
Take this bomb, drop it on old Hong Kong
Oh no no, you ain’t gonna get me at things like that
Oh no no, you ain’t gonna get me
Oh no no, you ain’t gonna get me
Peace loving man, I’m a peace loving man
Peace loving man, I’m a peace loving man
Peace loving man

KISS OF CONFUSION

There’s a man with his head in his hands
And he cries out as he dies, as he stands
So whoever is keeping strong, one more
Lord I’m frightened inside for
I can see there is nowhere to hide
So whoever has made the plan
Where is that golden place that
Everybody chases
Why do I feel disgraced
Oh no what kind of love is this
Confusion when we have had your kiss
The darker side of you is when you shine
Shining all the time
Rich man, poor man, beggar man, thief
Screaming out for some release
Kings and queens are begging, thieves
Are on the throne
Mother Nature’s plastic, God is made of stone
And those who follow
Jesus are the devil’s very home
Oh no what kind of fool am I
Confusion, kiss me while I cry
Darker side of you is when you shine
Lift me up and make me feel so fine
Then take away the fly and watch
Me fall You do it to us all
There’s a man with his head in his hands
And he cries out as he dies, as he stands
So whoever is making strong
One more, one more, one more, one more

LISTEN TO THE SILENCE

There’s no need for these words
They just get in my way
Do you know what I’m trying to say
Well beyond all the stars
There’s a place in the sky
If you listen you can hear the hush
Listen to the silence
Listen to the silence
Listen to the silence
Listen to the silence
Silence
Listen to the silence
Silence
Listen to the silence
Silence
Listen

LOVE BOMB

Have you been aware of the hush
That was there
Don’t you worry this is a part of us
Once upon a time they were sitting out
In the cold waiting for the sun to come
Sooner or later the sun came
Time began to run
They tried so hard to chase it
But time began to fly
As they raced nowhere
A million years went by
And the bullets start to fly
We have diplomatic men, diplomatic men with me
Selling gems of ignorance, pulling in the strings
There’s enough explosive hanging ’round
To blow a grave big enough for us all
Have we raced to nowhere
The rain begins to fall
What can we do when our world turns blue
And our minds don’t agree with the
Things we seem to be
And the cars that we buy they just don’t
Seem to satisfy
And the houses that we own, well they’re
Growing up too cold
What we need is a love bomb 100% gold plated, purified love bomb
We don’t have any and we need some
Easily unpourated, purified love bomb
On your TV dinner, buy a TV too
Sit in silence through the movie
But keep on talking through the news
Getting drunk on whiskey is the best
Thing you can do
‘Cause we turn to plastic, the
Horror film comes true
People try and people cry, others hit the wall
Many move and go running by, you can see them fall
Children of the Earth beware
Now’s the time to learn
The race to nowhere ends when
Time begins to turn
What can we say as we throw it all away
As we fly to the moon we’re still locked
Up in our rooms
And the bullets start to fly
Will the reapers still be wise
When they cry out for a friend Well it’s too late to pretend
What we need is a love bomb 100% gold plated, purified love bomb We don’t have any and we need some
Easily unpourated, purified love bomb
We don’t have, we don’t have, we don’t have one
And we need some

INDIAN SUMMER

Leaves turn red, breath hangs in the air
Messages no words can say
Indian Summer
Webs your hair
Indian Summer
Silence fills the air
Indian Summer
Webs your hair
Indian Summer
Leaves turn red, breath hangs in the air
Migrating birds they prepare
As I look into the sky
Silver birds go gliding by
Indian Summer
I remember I was really here before
Yay, yeah

JUST ABOVE MY HOBBY HORSE’S HEAD

A day is near, darkness gone and
The world is clear
Children seek the light
We close their eyes and we
Call it night
As dreamer dreams we talk the hours away
As planets scheme we change
Tomorrow to yesterday
Borrow for a time
The lack we share is a sacred rhyme
Choosing we may find
We’re on the road and there are
No signs
Yet we live on hate And thrive on war
And we’ve done our towns
What is going down
Children raise their voices
Questioning all as we give choice
Answers flow within
Point the way to where we’ve been
And as the music plays
And we become all our days
That become years of our lives
Of our lives
And we say we’ll love
And we say we care
And we say we know
Everyday that we’re here
Oh, day is near, darkness gone
And the world is clear
And the world is clear
Every day that we’re here
Tell me do you care

WAIT A MINUTE

Have it your own way
There’s nothing here
Fragment by fragment
Our love disappears
But wait a minute
What’s gone wrong
Wait a minute, turn around
And see them standing here I’m still believing
Catch every moment
Let nothing slip away
Hold your breath
Wait a minute
Now that time stands still
I see no reason
For our parting
I believe
I see the sun it’s all around you
But I see your dreams
And what do they mean
Someone tell me
Wait, have it your way
Wait a minute
They say there’s nothing here, no
Wait
Wait, you can’t leave me behind
Wait a minute
But mileage doesn’t count
Wait
Wait you know I’ll say just anything I can
Wait a minute
To make you stay with me
Wait
So why don’t you stop here
Wait a minute
The sun is shining all around
Wait
