Arnold Layne


Arnold Layne had a strange hobby
Collecting clothes
Moonshine washing line
They suit him fine

On the wall
Hung a tall mirror
Distorted view
See through baby blue
He hates it

Oh, Arnold Layne
It's not the same
Takes two to know
Two to know
Two to know
Two to know
Why can't you see?
Arnold Layne, Arnold Layne
Arnold Layne, Arnold Layne

Now he's caught
A nasty sort of person
They gave him time
Doors band
Chain gain
He hates it

Oh, Arnold Layne
It's not the same
Takes two to know
Two to know
Two to know
Two to know
Why can't you see?
Arnold Layne, Arnold Layne
Arnold Layne
Arnold Layne don't do it again

Interstellar Overdrive

(Instrumental)

See Emily Play

Emily tries but misunderstands
She often inclined
To borrow somebody's dreams 'till tommorow

There is no other day
Let's try it another way
You'll lose your mind and play
Free games for may
See Emily play

Soon after dark
Emily cries
Gazing through trees in sorrow
Hardly a sound 'till tommorow

There is no other day
Let's try it another way
You'll lose you mind and play
Free games for may
See Emily play

Put on a gown
That touches the ground
Float on a river for ever and ever
Emily

There is no other day
Let's try it another way
You'll lose your mind and play
Free games for may
See Emily play

Remember A Day

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 it 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
Blow away
Remember
Remember

Paintbox

Last night I had too much to drink
Sitting in a club with so many fools
Playing to rules
Trying to impress but feeling rather empty
I had another drink

What a way to spend that evening
They all turn up with their friends
Playing the game
They're in the scene I should have been
Far away

Getting up, I feel as if I'm remembering this scene before
I open the door to an empty room
Then I forget

The telephone rings and someone speaks
She would very much like to go
Out to a show
So what can I do
I can't think what to say
She sees through anyway

Out of the front door I go
Traffic's moving rather slow
Arriving late
There she waits looking very angry
As cross as she can be

Getting up, I feel as if I'm remembering this scene before
I open the door to an empty room
Then I forget

Julia Dream

Sunlight bright upon my pillow
Lighter than an eider down
Will she let the weeping willow
Wind his branches round?

Julia dream
Dreamnight queen
Queen of all my dreams

Every night I turn the light out
Waiting for the velvet bride
Will the scaled armadillo
Find me where I'm hiding?

Julia dream
Dreamnight queen
Queen of all my dreams

Will the misty master break me? Will the key unlock my mind?
Will the following footsteps catch me?
Am I really dying? Julia dream
Dreamnight queen
Queen of all my dreams
Julia dream
Dreamnight queen
Queen of all my dreams
Julia dream
Dreamnight queen
Queen of all my dreams
Julia dream
Dreamnight queen
Queen of all my dreams

Careful With That Axe, Eugene

(Instrumental)

Cirrus Minor

In a churchyard by a river
Lazing in the haze of midday
Laughing in the grasses and the graze
Yellow bird, you are not alone
In singing and in flying on
In laughing and in leaving

Willow weeping in the water
Waving to the river daughters
Swaying in the ripples and the reeds
On a trip to Cirrus Minor
Saw a crater in the sun
A thousand miles of moonlight later

The Nile Song

I was standing by the Nile
When I saw the lady smile
I would take her out for a while
For a while

My tears, wept like a child
How her golden hair was blowing wild
Then she spread her wings to fly
For to fly

Soaring high above the breezes
Going always where she pleases
She will make it to the islands in the sun

I will follow in her shadow
As I watch her from my window
One day I will catch her eye

She is calling from the deep
Summoning my soul to endless sleep
She is bound to drag me down
Drag me down
Down

Biding My Time

Wasting my time
Resting my mind
And I'll never pine
For the sad days
And the bad days
When we was working from nine to five
And if you don't mind
I'll spend my time
Here by the fireside
And the warm light
And the lvoe in her eyes
And if you don't mind
I'll spend my time
Here by the fireside
And the warm light
And the love in her eyes

Bike

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
Everything 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
Everything 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
Everything 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
Everything 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
