LYRICS:
In the sad town
cold iron hands clap
the party of clowns outside
rain falls in gray far away
please, please, Baby Lemonade
In the evening sun going down
when the earth streams in, in the
morning
send a cage through the post
make your name like a ghost
please, please, Baby Lemonade
I'm screaming, I met you this way
you're nice to me like ice
in the clock they sent through
a washing machine
come around, make it soon, so alone...
please, please, Baby Lemonade
In the sad town
cold iron hands clap
the party of clowns outside
rain falls in gray far away
please, please, Baby Lemonade
In the evening sun going down
when the earth streams in, in the
morning
send a cage through the post
make your name like a ghost
please, please, Baby Lemonade
I knew a girl and I like her still
she said she knew she would trust
me
and I her will...
I said: OK baby, tell me what you'll
be
and I'll lay my head down and see
what I see.
By the time she was back
by her open eyes
I knew that I was in for a big
surprise.
I knew a girl and I like her still
she said she knew she would trust
me
and I her will...
I said: OK baby, tell me what you'll
be
and I'll lay my head down and see
what I see.
By the time she was back
by her open eyes
I knew that I was in for a big
surprise.
It's an idea, someday
in my tears, my dreams
don't you want to see her proof?
Life that comes of no harm
you and I, you and I and dominoes,
the day goes by...
You and I in place
wasting time on dominoes
a day so dark, so warm
life that comes of no harm
you and I and dominoes, time goes
by...
Fireworks and heat, someday
hold a shell, a stick or play
overheard a lark today
losing when my mind's astray
don't you want to know with your
pretty hair
stretch your hand, glad feel,
in an echo for your way.
It's an idea, someday...
It's an idea, someday
in my tears, my dreams
don't you want to see her proof?
Life that comes of no harm
you and I, you and I and dominoes,
the day goes by...
It is obvious
may I say, oh baby, that it is
found on another plane?
Yes I can creep into cupboards,
sleep in the hall
your stars - my stars, a simple
cock bar
only an impulse - pie in the sky
mumble listen dolly
drift over your mind - holly
creep into bed when your head's
on the ground
she held the torch on the porch,
she winked an eye
Reason it is written on the brambles
stranded on the spikes - my blood
red, oh listen:
remember those times I could call
through the clear day
time - be there...
braver and braver, a handkerchief
waver
the louder you lips to a loud hailer
growing together, they ('re) growing
each either
no wondering, stumbling, fumbling
rumbling minds shot together,
our minds shot together...
So equally over a valley, a hill
wood on quarry stood, each of us
crying
a velvet curtain of gray
mark the blanket where the sparrows
play
and the trees by the waving corn
stranded
my legs move the last empty inches
to you
the softness, the warmth from the
weather in suspense
mote to a grog - the star a white
chalk
minds shot together, our minds
shot together...
Got it hit down
spot knock inside a spider
says: "That's love yeah, yeah,
yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah!"
"That's love yeah, yeah, yeah,
yeah, yeah, yeah!"
says: "That's love - All know it
TV, teeth, feet, peace, feel it...
"That's love yeah, yeah, yeah,
yeah, yeah, yeah!"
"That's love yeah, yeah, yeah,
yeah, yeah, yeah!"
like the fall that brings me to
I like the fall that brings me
to
I like the cord around sinew
I make a cord around sinew
Duck, the way to least is less
Tea craving of the metal west
'ell tomorrow's rain and test
'ell tomorrow's rain and test
Love an empty son and guess
Love an empty son and guess
pimples dangerous and blessed
Heaving, arriving, tinkling
mingling jets and statuettes
seething wet we meeting fleck
seething wet we meeting fleck
lines and winds and crib and half
each fair day I give you half
of each fair day I give you half
I look into your eyes and you,
flathe in the sun for you...
Bam, spastic, tactile engine
heaving, crackle, slinky, dormy,
roofy, wham
I'll have them, fried bloke
broken jardy, cardy, smoocho, moocho,
paki, pufftle
sploshette moxy, very smelly,
cable, gable, splintra, channel
top the seam he's taken off
rats, rats lay down flat
we don't need you, we act like
that
and if you think you're un-loved
then we know about that...
rats, rats, lay down flat!
yes, yes, yes, yes, lay down flat!
Maisie, Maisie, Maisie, Maisie...
bad luck, bride of a bull
strode out to meet Maisie in the
evening light
Maisie, his illuminous grin put
her in a spin
Maisie, lay in the hall
with diamonds and emeralds
Maisie, Maisie...
bad luck - the bride of a bull
Maisie lay in the wall with her
emeralds
and diamond brooch, beyond reproach
bad luck - bride of a bull
strode out to meet Maisie in the
evening light...
Maisie!
Grooving around in a trench coat
with the satin on trail
Seems to be all around in tin and
lead pail, we pale
Jiving on down to the beach
to see the blue and the gray
seems to be all and it's rosy-it's
a beautiful day!
Will you please keep on the track
'cause I almost want you back
'cause I know what you are
you are a gigolo aunt, you're a
gigolo aunt!
Yes I know what you are
you are a gigolo aunt, you're a
gigolo aunt!
Heading down with the light, the
dust in your way
she was angrier than, than her
water shell male
life to this love to me - heading
me down to me
thunderbird shale
seems to be all and it's rosy -
it's a beautiful day!
will you please keep on the track
'cause I almost want you back
'cause I know what you are
you are a gigolo aunt
Grooving on down in a knapsack superlative
day
some wish she move and just as
she can move jiving away
she made the scene should have
been superlative day
everything's all and it's rosy,
it's a beautiful day
will you please keep on the track
'cause I almost want you back
'cause I know what you are
you are a gigolo aunt...
Waving My Arms In The Air
& I Never Lied To You (Barrett)
(continuous)
Waving my arms in the air
love, my love, got no care
no care, no, no, pressing my feet
to the ground
stand up right where you stand
call to you and what do you do
laying back in a chair?
she's so high on the air
she's so high on the air
half and half, half and half
all you have to do to call
is hold her hand, stand a while
and then smile and we'll understand
yes we do - yes, yes we do!
Oh what a girl I've got too!
Oh what a girl I've got too!
with her slinky look she held her
tie to her hair
(and I) could see everywhere
none in the land, none
none in the land, none
but it rains on Saturday - cats
and dogs in the way
stormy day, hey, hey
and you shouldn't try to be
what you can't be
and you shouldn't try to be
what you can't be
call to you and what do you do
There will be shoulders pressing
in the hall
and I won't know if you're here
at all
there will be wine and drinking
in the yard
there won't be anybody very hard
there will be lots of things that
we can do
and all and more will be for you
everything I knew I tried with
you
but everything to you was never
easy
so I went ahead around my world
I saw the things you do arriving
by your side
to see you looking too
but I know this. I know, I never
lied to you
it's been just like you're gone
for just one day for so long!
It's been so hard to bear with
you not there
but though I think of you, the
things you do
when I'm with you, to be with you,
to be alone...can only think:
"Why I am here? What's meant to
be?"
Wined and dined, oh it seemed just
like a dream!
Girl was so kind.
kind of love I'd never seen
only last summer, it's not so long
ago...
just last summer, now musk winds
blow...
Wined and dined, oh it seemed just
like a dream!
Girl was so kind.
kind of love I'd never seen
only last summer, it's not so long
ago...
just last summer, now musk winds
blow...
Chalk underfoot, life I should prove
dancing in heat, our love and you...
Wined and dined, oh it seemed just
like a dream!
Girl was so kind.
kind of love I'd never seen
only last summer, it's not so long
ago...
just last summer, now musk winds
blow...
Howling the pack in formation appears
diamonds and clubs, light misted
fog, the dead
waving us back in formation,
the pack in formation
bowling they bat as a group
and the leader is seen - so early...
the pack on their backs, the fighters
through misty the waving - the
pack in formation
far reaching waves
on sight, shone right
I lay as if in surround...
all enmeshing, hovering...
the milder I gaze
all the animals laying trail
beyond the bough winds
mild the reflecting electricity
eyes...
tears, the life that was ours
grows sharper and stronger away
and beyond
short wheeling - fresh spring
gripped with blanched bones - moaned
magnesium, proverbs and sobs...
howling the pack in formation appears
diamonds and clubs, light misted
fog, the dead
waving us back in formation,
the pack in formation...
Effervescing Elephant (Barrett)
An Effervescing Elephant
with tiny eyes and great big trunk
once whispered to the tiny ear
the ear of one inferior
that by next June he'd die, oh
yeah!
because the tiger would roam.
The little one said: "Oh my goodness
I must stay at home!
and every time I hear a growl
I'll know the tiger's on the prowl
and I'll be really safe, you know
the elephant he told me so."
Everyone was nervy, oh yeah!
and the message was spread
to zebra, mongoose, and the dirty
hippopotamus
who wallowed in the mud and chewed
his spicy hippo-plankton food
and tended to ignore the word
preferring to survey a herd
of stupid water bison, oh yeah!
And all the jungle took fright,
and ran around for all the day
and the night
but all in vain, because, you see,
the tiger came and said: "Who me?!
You know, I wouldn't hurt not one
of you.
I'd much prefer something to chew
and you're all to scant." oh yeah!
He ate the Elephant
