Far far away
People heard him say I will find a way There will come a
day Something will be done Then at last the mighty ship
descending on a point of flame Made contact with the human race
at Mildenhall
Now is the time To be be be
aware Carter's father saw it there And knew the Rhull revealed to him
The living soul of Hereward the Wake
Oh my, something in my eye
Something in the sky Waiting there for me The outer lock
rolled slowly back The service men were heard to sigh For there revealed in
flowing robes was Lucy in the sky
Oh oh did you ever?
No no never ever will they I'll say!
Summoning his cosmic power
[And glowing slightly from his toes]
His psychic emanations flowed
Remember a day before today
A day when you were young Free to play along with time Evening
never comes
Sing a song that can't be sung Without the morning's kiss
Queen you shall be if you wish Look for your king
Why can't we
play today? Why can't we stay that way?
Climb your favourite apple tree
Try to catch the sun Hide from your little brother's gun Dream yourself
away Why can't we reach the sun? Why can't we blow the years away?
Blow away
Little by little the night turns around
Counting the leaves which tremble at dawn
Lotus's lean on each other in yearning
Over the hills a swallow is resting
Set the controls for the heart of the sun
Over the mountain watching the watcher
Breaking the darkness waking the grapevine
Knowledge of love is knowledge of shadow
Love is the shadow that ripens the wine
Set the controls for the heart of the sun
Witness the man who waves at the wall
Making the shape of his question to heaven
Whether the sun will fall in the evening
Will he remember the lesson of giving?
Set the controls for the heart of the sun
Set the controls for the heart of the sun
Corporal Clegg had a wooden leg
He won it in the war
In nineteen forty four
Corporal Clegg had a medal too In
orange, red and blue He found it in the zoo
Dear oh dear, oh are they really sad
for me?
Dear oh dear, oh will they really laugh at me?
Missus Clegg, you must be
proud of him Missus Clegg, another drop of gin?
Corporal Clegg, umbrella in
the rain He's never been the same No one is to blame
Corporal Clegg
received his medal in a dream From Her Majesty, the Queen His boots were
very clean Missus Clegg, you must be proud of him Missus Clegg, another drop
of gin
Marigolds are very much in love
But he doesn't mind Picking up sister
He makes his way in to the see-saw land All the way up she smiles She
goes up as he goes down, down
Sits on a stick in the river Laughter in
his sleep Sister's throwing stones hoping for a hit He doesn't know, so then
She goes up while he goes down, down
Another time, another day A
brother's way to leave Another time, another day
Selling
plastic flowers on a Sunday afternoon Picking up weeds
She hasn't got time to care All can see he's not there
She grows up for another man, and
he's down
Another time, another day A brother's way to leave Another
time, another day
It's awfully considerate of you to
think of me here And I'm almost obliged to you for making it clear that I'm
not here And I never knew the moon could be so big And I never knew the
moon could be so blue And I'm grateful that you threw away my old shoes
And brought me here instead dressed in red
And I'm wondering who could
be writing this song I don't care if the sun don't shine And I don't care
if nothing is mine And I don't care if I'm nervous with you I'll do my loving
in the Winter
And the sea isn't green And I love the queen And
what exactly is a dream? And what exactly is a joke?
