DISTORTED, ROBOTIC VOICE SPEAKS

# 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

# Whoo-oo-oo-oo-oo-oo

# Whoo-oo-oo-oo-oo-oo

# Whoo-oo-oo-oo-oo-oo-oo

# Whoo-oo-oo-oo-oo-oo-oo

# Blinding signs flap flicker, flicker, flicker, blam

# Pow! Pow!

# Stairway scare, Dan Dare who's there?

# Whoo-oo-oo-oo-oo-oo

# Whoo-oo-oo-oo-oo-oo

# Lime and limpid green the sounds around

# The icy waters under

# Lime and limpid green the sounds around

# The icy waters underground. #

# We skipped the light fandango

# Turned cartwheels 'cross the floor

# I was feeling kinda seasick

# But the crowd called out for more

# The room was humming harder

# As the ceiling flew away

# When we called out for another drink

# And the waiter brought a tray

# And so it was that later

# As the miller told his tale

# That her face at first just ghostly

# Turned a whiter shade of pale

# She said, "There is no reason

# "And the truth is plain to see"

# But I wandered through my playing cards

# And would not let her be

# One of 16 vestal virgins

# Who were leaving for the coast

# And although my eyes were open

# They might just as well have been closed

# And so it was that later

# As the miller told his tale

# That her face at first just ghostly

# Turned a whiter shade of pale

# And so it was... #

# I know you've deceived me now here's a surprise

# I know that you have cos there's magic in my eyes

# I can see for miles and miles

# And miles and miles

# And miles

# Oh, yeah

# If you think that I don't know about

# The little tricks you've played

# And never see you

# When deliberately you put things in my way

# Well, here's a poke at you

# You're gonna choke on it too

# You're gonna lose that smile

# Because all the while

# I can see for miles and miles

# I can see for miles and miles

# I can see for miles and miles

# And miles and miles and miles

# Oh, yeah

# You took advantage of my trust in you when I was so far away

# I saw you holding lots of other guys

# And now you've got the nerve to say

# That you still want me

# Well, that's as may be

# But you gotta stand trial

# Because all the while

# I can see for miles and miles

# I can see for miles and miles

# I can see for miles and miles

# And miles and miles

# And miles

# Oh, yeah

# I know you've deceived me now here's a surprise

# I know that you have cos there's magic in my eyes

# I can see for miles and miles

# And miles and miles

# And miles

# Oh, yeah

# The Eiffel Tower and the Taj Mahal are mine to see on clear days

# You thought that I would need a crystal ball

# To see right through the haze

# Well, here's a poke at you

# You're gonna choke on it too

# You're gonna lose that smile

# Because all the while

# I can see for miles and miles

# I can see for miles and miles

# I can see for miles and miles

# And miles and miles

# And miles and miles

# And miles and miles... #

# Hmm-hmm-hmm-hmm

# Thrown like a star in my vast sleep

# I opened my eyes to take a peek

# To find that I was by the sea

# Gazing with tranquillity

# 'Twas then when the Hurdy Gurdy Man

# Came singing songs of love

# Then when the Hurdy Gurdy Man

# Came singing songs of love

# "Hurdy gurdy, hurdy gurdy hurdy gurdy gurdy," he sang

# "Hurdy gurdy, hurdy gurdy hurdy gurdy gurdy," he sang

# "Hurdy gurdy, hurdy gurdy hurdy gurdy gurdy," he sang

# Histories of ages past

# Hung in light and shadows cast

# Down through all eternity

# The crying of humanity

# 'Tis then when the Hurdy Gurdy Man

# Comes singing songs of love

# Then when the Hurdy Gurdy Man

# Comes singing songs of love

# "Hurdy gurdy, hurdy gurdy hurdy gurdy gurdy," he sang

# "Hurdy gurdy, hurdy gurdy hurdy gurdy, hurdy gurdy, hurdy gurd"

# "Hurdy gurdy, hurdy gurdy hurdy gurdy gurdy," he sang

# "Hurdy gurdy, hurdy gurdy hurdy gurdy gurdy," he sang

# Here comes the Roly Poly Man

# He's singing songs of love

# "Roly poly, roly poly holy poly poly," he sang

# "Hurdy gurdy, hurdy gurdy hurdy gurdy gurdy," he sang

# "Hurdy gurdy, hurdy gurdy hurdy gurdy gurdy," he sang... #

America...

is pregnant with promise and anticipation,

but is murdered by the hand of the inevitable.

# If your memory serves you well

# We were gonna meet again and wait

# So I'm going to unpack all my things

# And sit before it gets too late

# No man alive will come to you

# With another tale to tell

# But you know that we shall meet again

# If your memory serves you well

# This wheel's on fire

# Rolling down the road

# Best notify my next of kin

# This wheel shall explode!

# If your memory serves you well

# I was going to confiscate my lace

# And wrap it up in a sailor's knot

# And hide it in your case

# If I knew for sure that it was yours...

# But it was oh, so hard to tell

# And you know that we shall meet again

# If your memory serves you well

# This wheel's on fire

# Rolling down the road

# Best notify my next of kin

# This wheel shall explode!

# If your memory serves you well

# You'll remember you're the one

# That called on me to call on them

# To get you your favours done

# And after every plan had failed

# There was nothing more to tell

# You knew that we would meet again

# If your memory serves you well

# This wheel's on fire

# Rolling down the road

# Best notify my next of kin

# This wheel shall explode! #

# When I look up to the sky

# I see your eyes a funny kind of yellow

# I rush home to bed, I soak my head

# I see your face underneath my pillow

# I wake next morning tired, still yawning

# See your face come peeking through my window

# Pictures of matchstick men and you

# Mirages of matchstick men and you

# All I ever see is them and you

# Windows echo your reflection

# When I look in their direction gone

# When will this haunting stop?

# Your face, it just won't leave me alone

# Pictures of matchstick men and you

# Mirages of matchstick men and you

# All I ever see is them and you

# You in the sky you with this guy you make men cry, you lie

# You in the sky you with this guy you make men cry, you lie... #

I am the god of hell fire

and I bring you...

# Fire!

# I'll take you to burn

# Fire!

# I'll take you to learn

# I'll see you burn

# You fought hard and you saved and earned

# But all of it's going to burn

# And your mind, your tiny mind

# You know you've really been so blind

# Now's your time, burn your mind

# You're falling far too far behind

# Oh, no!

# Oh, no!

# Oh, no!

# You're gonna burn

# Fire!

# To destroy all you've done

# Fire!

# To end all you've become

# I'll feel you burn

# You've been living like a little girl

# In the middle of your little world

# And your mind, your tiny mind

# You know you've really been so blind

# Now's your time, burn your mind

# You're falling far too far behind

# Ooh-ooh

# Fire!

# I'll take you to burn

# Fire!

# I'll take you to learn

# You're gonna burn

# You're gonna burn

# You're gonna burn, burn, burn burn

# Burn, burn, burn, burn

# Burn, burn, burn

# Ahhhhh!

FIENDISH CACKLING

# Fire!

# I'll take you to burn

# Fire!

# I'll take you to learn

# Fire!

# I'll take you to bed

# Fire!

# Fire! Ahhhhh! #

# What would you do

# If I sang out of tune?

# Would you stand up and walk out on me?

# Lend me your ears and I'll sing you a song

# I will try not to sing out of key

# Oh, baby, I get

# By with a little help from my friends

# All I need is my buddies

# By with a little help from my friends

# By with a little help from my friends

# Whoa, whoa, my friends

# Would you believe in a love at first sight?

# I'm certain that it happens all the time, yeah

# What do you see when you turn out the light?

# I can't tell you but it sure feels right

# By with a little help from my friends

# Whoa, I'll keep on trying, baby

# By with a little help from my friends

# Said I'm gonna make it with my friends

# By with a little help from my friends

# Won't you realise, yeah

# You always say I wanna show myself a time

# Gonna get by with my friends

# Yeah! #

# There's wheat in the field

# And water in the stream

# And salt in the mine

# And an aching in me

# I can no longer stand and wonder

# Cos I'm driven by this hunger

# So I'll jug some water bake some flour

# Store some salt and wait the hour

# When thinking of love

# Love is thinking for me

# And the baker will come

# And the baker I'll be

# I'm depending on my labour

# The texture and the flavour

# I can no longer stand and wonder

# Cos I'm driven by this hunger

# So I'll jug some water bake some flour

# Store some salt and wait the hour... #

# Ride, ride my see-saw

# Take this place

# On this trip

# Just for me

# Ride, take a free ride

# Take my place

# Have my seat

# It's for free

# I worked like a slave for years

# Sweat so hard just to end my fears

# Not to end my life a poor man

# But by now I know I should have run

# Run, run my last race

# Take my place

# Have this number of mine

# Run, run like a fire

# Don't you run in

# In the lanes

# Run for time

# Left school with a first-class pass

# Started work but as second-class

# School taught one and one is two

# But right now that answer just ain't true

# Ah-ah-ah-ah

# Ah-ah-ah-ah

# Ah-ah-ah-ah-ah

# Ah-ah-ah-ah

# Ah-ah-ah-ah

# Ah-ah-ah-ah-ah

# My world is spinning around

# Everything is lost that I found

# People run, come ride with me

# Let's find another place that's free

This is the B side of our single, sports fans.

I hope it makes you sick.

I don't really mean that. Honestly, we're very nice chaps, really.

# In the canyons of your mind

# I will wander through your brain

# To the ventricles of your heart my dear

# I'm in love with you again

# Across the mountains of your chest

# Ba-ba-ba, ba-ba-ba

# I will stick a Union Jack

# Ba-ba-ba, ba-ba-ba

# To the forest of your cheek, ah...

# Through the holes in your string vest... #

THEY GASP AND EXCLAIM

I'll never wash it!

Oh!

GASPING CONTINUES

TUNELESS SOLO

CHEERING

# My darling

-# In my cardboard-coloured dreams

-Cardboard-coloured dream

# Once again, I hear your laugh

# Ooh-ooh

# And I kiss, yes I kiss your perfumed hair

# But she's not there

# The sweet essence of giraffe

# Of giraffe

# And it's time I call your name

# Ooh, Frying Pan, Frying Pan

# Oh! Oh! Oh, how it hurts!

# He's in pain

# In the wardrobe of my soul

# Of my soul

# In the section labelled "Shirts"... #

Ah! Argh!

Oh! FABRIC RIPS

I can't get it together!

-Do you mean it?! I mean it!

-He means it, yeah! Yeah! Yeah!

HE BELCHES

# Who moved the white castle who moved the black queen

# When Gimmel and Daleth were standing between?

# And out of the evening was growing a veil

# That pined for the pine woods and it for the sail

# There's something forgotten I want you to know

# The freckles of rain they are telling me so

# Oh

# It's the half-remarkable question

# What is it that we are part of?

# And what is that we are?

# An elephant madness has covered the sun

# And the judge and the juries still play for the fun

# They've torn all the roses washed all the soap

# And the martyr who marries them dares not elope

# Oh

# It's the never-realised question

# What is it that we are part of?

# And what is it that we are?

# Oh, long, oh, long ere yet my eyes

# Braved the gate's enormous fire

# And the body folded round me

# And the person in me grew

# The flower and its petal

# The root and its grasp

# The earth and its bigness

# The breath and its gasp

# The mind and its motion

# The foot and its move

# The life and its pattern

# The heart and its love

# Oh, it's the old forgotten question

# What is it that we are part of?

# Oh, what is it that we are? #

# See the people all in a line what's making them look at me?

# Can't imagine that their minds are thinkin' the same as me

# I can hear the grass grow

# I can hear the grass grow

# I see rainbows in the evening

# My head's attracted to a magnetic wave of sound

# With the streams of coloured circles makin' their way around

# I can hear the grass grow

# I can hear the grass grow

# I see rainbows in the evening

# Whoa!

# Can't seem to puzzle out the signs

# Ooh-eee-ooh

# My senses form a micro line

# Get a hold of yourself now, baby

# See, I need you to help now, baby

# Get a hold of yourself now, baby

# Put your head down to the ground and listen to your mind

# If you can't spell what you found I know that you're not my kind

# I can hear the grass grow

# I can hear the grass grow

# I see rainbows in the evening

# Can't seem to puzzle out the signs

# Ooh-ee-ooh

# My senses form a micro line

# Get a hold of yourself now, baby

# See, I need you to help now, baby

# Just get a hold of yourself now, baby

# See the people all in line what's makin' them look at me?

# Can't imagine that their minds are thinkin' the same as me

# I can hear the grass grow

# I can hear the grass grow

# I see rainbows in the evening

# I can hear the grass grow

# I can hear the grass grow

# I see rainbows in the evening. #

FEEDBACK

# Hey, Joe, I said where you goin' with that gun in your hand?

# Hey Joe, I said where you goin' with that gun in your hand?

# I'm goin' way down south way down south

# You know I shot my old lady down

# I got to get out of here as fast as I can

# I put down, shot my lady... #

I forgot the words.

# Get out of here as fast as I can

# Yeah!

We'd like to stop playing this rubbish

and dedicate a song to the, uh, Cream.

Regardless of what kind of group they might be in,

we'd like to dedicate it to Eric Clapton, Ginger Baker and Jack Bruce.

THEY PLAY: Sunshine Of Your Love by Cream

We're being put off the air.

APPLAUSE

# At the party she was kindness in the hard crowd

# Consolation for the old wound now forgotten

# Yellow tigers crouched in jungles in your dark eyes

# Dawn light smiles on you leaving my contentment

# And I'll wait in this place with the lonely crowd

# Lie in the dark where the shadows run from themselves

# Ahhhh-ahh

# Ahhhh-ahh

# Ahhhh-ahh

# Ahhhh-ahh

# Ahh. #

# The rain is on the roof

# Hurry, high butterfly

# As clouds roll past my head

# I know why the skies all cry

-ALL:

-# Om

# Om

# Heaven

# Om

# Ahhhhh

# Ahh-ahh-ahh-ahhhh

# Ahh-ahh-ahh-ahhhh

# Ahh-ahh-ahh-ahhhh. #
