Lyrics:
Lime
and limpid green, a second scene A fight between the blue you once knew
Floating down the sound resounds
Around
the icy waters underground Jupiter and Saturn, Oberon, Miranda and Titania
Neptune, Titan, stars can
frighten... Blinding signs flap
Flicker, flicker, flicker,
blam, pow, pow
Stairway scare Dan Dare who'sthere..Lime
and limpid green
The sound surrounds the icy
waters under Lime and limpid green
The sound surrounds the icy
waters underground
Lucifer Sam siam cat
Always sitting by your side
Always by your side
That cat's something I can't
explain
Jennifer Gentle you're a witch
You're the left side
He's the right side oh no
That cat's something I can't
explain
Lucifer go to sea
Be a hip cat
Be a ship's cat
Somewhere anywhere
That cat's something I can't
explain
Night prowling sifting sand
Padding around on the ground
He'll be found
When you're around
That cat's something I can't
explain
Matilda mother
(Barret)
There was a king who ruled the
land
His majesty was in command
With silver eyes the scarlet eagle
Showers silver on the people
Oh Mother tell me more
Why'd'ya have to leave me there
Hanging in my infant air, waiting
You only have to read the lines
Of scribbly black and everything
shines
Across the stream with wooden shoes
Bells to tell the King the news
A thousand misty riders
Climb up higher once upon a time
Wondering and dreaming
The words have different
meanings
Yes they did...
For all the time spent in
that room
The doll's house darkness
old perfume
And fairy stories held me
high
On clouds of sunlight floating
by
Oh Mother tell me more
Tell me more...
Aaah... Aaah... Aaah...
Alone in the clouds all blue
Lying on an eiderdown, yippee
You can't see me but I can you
Lazing in the foggy dew
Sitting on a unicorn no fear
You can't hear me but I can
you
Watching buttercups cup the
light
Sleeping on a dandelion too
much
I won't touch you but then
I might
Screaming through the starlit
skies
Traveling by telephone
Hey ho here we go
Ever so high
Alone in the clouds all blue
Lying on an eiderdown, yippee
You can't see me but I can
you
(Instrumental)
Take up the stethoscope

Doctor Doctor
I'm in bed
Aching head
Doctor Doctor gold is lead
Doctor Doctor choke on bread
Doctor Doctor underfed
Doctor Doctor gold is lead
Doctor Doctor Jesus bled
Doctor Doctor pain is red
Doctor Doctor dark doom
Gruel ghoul greasy spoon
Use spoon June bloom
Music seems to help the pain
Seems to motivate the brain
Doctor kindly tell your wife
That I'm alive
Flowers thrive
Realize
Realize
Realize

(Instrumental)
I want to tell you a story
'Bout a little man if I can
A gnome named Grimble Gromble
And little gnomes stay in
their homes
Eating, sleeping, drinking
their wine
He wore a scarlet tunic
A blue-green hood, it looked
quite good
He had a big adventure
Amidst the grass, fresh
air at last
Wining, dining, biding his
time
And then one day
Hooray, another way
for gnomes to say
Ooh my...
Look at the sky, look
at the river
Isn't it good?
Look at the sky, look
at the river
Isn't it good?
Winding, finding places to go
And then one day
Hooray, another
way for gnomes to say
Ooh my... ooh my...
All movement is accomplished
in six stages
And the seventh brings return
The seven is the number of
the young light
It forms when darkness is
increased by one
Change return success
Going and coming without error
Action brings good fortune
Sunset
The time is with the month of winter
solstice
When the change is due to
come
Thunder in the Earth, the course
of Heaven
Things cannot be destroyed once
and for
Change return success
Going and coming without error
Action brings good fortune
Sunset
Sunrise
A movement is accomplished in six
stages
And the seventh brings return
The seven is the number of the
young light
It forms when darkness is increased
by one
Change return success
Going and coming without
error
Action brings good fortune
Sunset
Sunrise...
The black and green scarecrow as
ev'ryone knows
Stood with a bird on his hat and
straw everywhere
He didn't care...
He stood in a field where barley
grows
His head did no thinking, his arms
didn't move Except then the wind cut up rough
And mice ran around on the ground
He stood in a field where barley
grows
The black and green scarecrow is
sadder than me
But now he's resigned to his fate
'Cause life's not unkind
He doesn't mind
He stood in a field where barley
grows
I've got a bike, you can ride it
if you like
It's got a basket, a bell that
rings and things to make it look good
I'd give it to you if I could,
but I borrowed it
You're the kind of girl that fits
in with my world
I'll give you anything, ev'rything
if you want things
I've got a cloak, it's a bit of
a joke
There's a tear up the front, it's
red and black, I've had it for months
If you think it could look good,
then I guess it should
You're the kind of girl that fits
in with my world
I'll give you anything, ev'rything
if you want things
I know a mouse, and he hasn't
got a house
I don't know why I call
him Gerald
He's getting rather old, but he's
a good mouse
You're the kind of girl that fits
in with my world
I'll give you anything, ev'rything
if you want things
I've got a clan of gingerbread men
Here a man, there a man, lots of
gingerbread men
Take a couple if you wish, they're
on the dish
You're the kind of girl that fits
in with my world
I'll give you anything, ev'rything
if you want things
I know a room of musical tunes
Some rhyme, some ching, most of
them are clockwork
Let's go into the other room and
make them work
