Hunting Lizards In The Long Grass

HUNTING LIZARDS IN THE LONG GRASS

WAKE UP IN THE MORNING

THE SUN IS SHINING BRIGHT

GROWN-UPS ARE STILL SLEEPING

ANOTHER DRUNKEN NIGHT

 

GET SHORTS AND SANDALS ON

A SLICE OF BREAD AND HONEY

OUT THE DOOR WITH FISHING NET

AND A JAM JAR ON A STRING

 

GO DOWN TO THAT WASTE LAND

NEXT DOOR TO THE HARBOUR

WHERE THE BOATS ARE BOBBING

AND ALL THE FLAGS ARE FLYING

 

GREEN BACKED BEETLES GLEAMING

THE SEAGULLS SHRILLY SCREAMING

HUNTING LIZARDS IN THE LONG GRASS

WHILE DREAMS ARE DAILY DREAMING

 

I KEEP THINKING ABOUT THE NIGHT BEFORE

ON MY OWN OUTSIDE THE SALOON BAR DOOR

 

WITH A BAG OF CRISPS AND A GLASS OF LEMONADE

THE WAY THEY LEFT ME ON MY OWN AGAIN

 

ON MY OWN AGAIN

ON MY OWN AGAIN

 

CORNFLOWERS BLUELY SWAY

GRASSHOPPERS CLICK ALL DAY

HUNTING LIZARDS IN THE LONG GRASS

WILL TAKE THE PAIN AWAY

 

BACK TO THE BUNGALOW

EVERYONE IS UP AND DRESSED

LOOK AT THE JAR OF LIZARDS

THEY SEEM MILDLY IMPRESSED

 

HUNTING LIZARDS IN THE LONG GRASS

ALWAYS TAKES THE PAIN AWAY

HUNTING LIZARDS IN THE LONG GRASS

ALWAYS TAKES THE PAIN AWAY

One Way Ticket To Mars

ONE WAY TICKET TO MARS

I had a ginger cat that sometimes killed a mouse

I had a shiny car parked up outside my house

I had a steady job that I really thought would last

Now everything has gone, relegated to the past

My dreams and aspirations have all come tumbling down

Wife and kids live with her mother in another part of town

The only thing that’s left now I’ve landed on my arse

Is to try and get myself a one way ticket to Mars

A place where I’ll be blinded by the brightness of the stars

Where there will be no driving round in comfortable cars

No more late night drinking in my favourite bars

No more gigs down Deptford with those sweet, sweet guitars

It’s time I got myself on that one way ticket to Mars

There are no rotten human beings there to treat me so unkind

All those problems down on Planet Earth?  I’ll leave them all behind

I’ll climb into that rocket ship and become a pioneer

Things can’t be any worse up there than all this shit down here

I’ve got no cash inside my pocket

So strap me up into that rocket

I’ll take that one way ticket to Mars

I wanna one way ticket to Mars

I’m on a one way ticket to Mars

A One…….. Way……. Ticket

See ya……wouldn’t wanna be ya!

Flying From The Sunset

FLYING FROM THE SUNSET

If you are stuck within a whirlpool
Spinning way out of control
I will throw you a lovers lifeline
To pull you out of that hole

Come along with me
Flying from the sunset
We can both be free
Flying from the sunset

Let me pull you in to shore
I am still within your reach
If you look above the waves
I am standing on the beach

Come along with me
Flying from the sunset
We can both be free
Flying from the sunset

We’ll go watching moonbeams
As they bounce across the bay
Then come tomorrow morning
We can start a brand new day

Come along with me
Flying from the sunset
We can both be free
Flying from the sunset
