"Sun"

"Sun"



Sun, the earth is turning
it's turning round
and love is the access
but they chop the tree down
all the proud trees are standing
as green as the sky
as green as the greenstone
that makes seabirds fly

ovens area baking
and the rivers run dry
as dry as the ocean
on wings of a fly
go if you're able
and come if you can
life's very unstable
it's built upon sand

marianne set the table
an old friend I see
marianne fetch the papers
there's two for tea

"Sun Magic"

"Sun Magic"



The sun is a very magic fellow
He shines down on me each day
The sun is a very magic fellow
He shines down on me each day
He shines down on me each day

The wind is a very fickle fellow
He blows all my dreams away
The wind is a very fickle fellow
Blowing all my dreams away
Blowing all my dreams away

The rain is a very sad lady
She falls down on me sometimes
The rain is a very sad lady
She falls down on me sometimes
Falls down on me sometimes

The sea is a very, very old man
Deeper than the deepest blue
The sea is a very, very old man
Deeper than the deepest blue
Deeper than the deepest blue

The moon is a typical a-lady
I watch her wax and wane
The moon is a typical a-lady
I watch her wax and wane
I watch her wax and wane

A star is so very far away, love
Just between you and me
A star is so very far away, love
Just between you and me
Just between you and me

A song is a pillow for my sadness
We sing all our cares away
A song is a pillow for my sadness
We sing all our cares away
We sing all our cares away

The sun is a very magic fellow
He shines down on me each day
The sun is a very magic fellow
He shines down on me each day
Shines down on me each day

The sun is a very magic fellow
He shines down on me each day
The sun is a very magic fellow
Shines down on me each day
Shines down on me each day

Shine...

"Sunny Goodge Street"

"Sunny Goodge Street"



On the firefly platform on sunny Goodge Street
Violent hash-smoker shook a chocolate machine
Bobbed in an eating scene.
Smashing into neon streets in their stillness
Smearing their eyes on the crazy Kali goddess
Listenin' to sounds of Mingus mellow fantastic.
"My, my", they sigh,
"My, my", they sigh.
In dull house rooms with coloured lights swingin'
Strange music boxes sadly tinklin'
Drink in the sun shining all around you.
"My, my", they sigh,
"My, my", they sigh, mm mm.
"My, my", they sigh,
"My, my", they sigh.
The magician, he sparkles in satin and velvet,
You gaze at his splendour with eyes you've not used yet.
I tell you his name is Love, Love, Love.
"My, my", they sigh,
"My, my", they sigh.
"My, my" - sigh.

"Sunny South Kensington"



Come take a walk in sunny South Kensington
Any day of the week.
See the girl with the silk Chinese blouse on,
You know she ain't no freak.
Come loon soon down Cromwell Road, man,
You got to spread your wings.
A-flip out, skip out, trip-out, and a-make your stand, folks,
To dig me as I sing.
Jean-Paul Belmondo and-a Mary Quant got
Stoned to say the least
Ginsberg, he ended up-a dry and so
He a-took a trip out East.
If I'm a-late waitin' down the gate, it's such a 'raz' scene,
A groovy place to live.
In the Portobella I met a fella with a cane umbrella,
Who must've used a sieve.
So come loon soon down Cromwell Road, man,
You got to spread your wings.
A-flip out, skip out, trip-out and a-make your stand, folks,
To dig me as I sing.
Hmm, hmm, hmm.

"Sunshine Superman"

"Sunshine Superman"



Sunshine came softly a-through my a-window today
Could've tripped out easy a-but I've a-changed my ways
It'll take time, I know it but in a while
You're gonna be mine, I know it, we'll do it in style
'Cause I made my mind up you're going to be mine

I'll tell you right now
Any trick in the book a-now, baby, all that I can find

Everybody's hustlin' a-just to have a little scene
When I say we'll be cool, I think that you know what I mean
We stood on a beach at sunset, do you remember when?
I know a beach where, baby, a-it never ends
When you've made your mind up forever to be mine

Hmm, hmm, hmm, hmm, hmm
I'll pick up your hand and slowly blow your little mind
'Cause I made my mind up you're going to be mine
I'll tell you right now
Any trick in the book a-now, baby, that I can find

Superman or Green Lantern ain't got a-nothin' on me
I can make like a turtle and dive for your pearls in the sea, yep
A-you you you can just sit there while thinking on your velvet throne
'Bout all the rainbows a-you can a-have for your own
When you’ve made your mind up, forever to be mine

Hmm, hmm, hmm, hmm, hmm
I’ll pick up your hand and slowly blow your little mind
When you’ve made your mind up, forever to be mine
I’ll pick up your hand, I’ll pick up your hand

"Superlungs"

"Superlungs"



You will see this kind of chick in every town.
Whenever there's a scene she's always hanging around
She's so naive and innocent, she looks at to it all
She's only fourteen but she knows how to draw.

Superlungs
Superlungs
Superlungs
She's my supergirl!
Superlungs
Yeah!

She doesn't get involved with blowing her cool
She's too busy getting high with her classmates in school
The people they ignore her, they would if they could
She ain't quite grown up yet but her credence's real good.

Superlungs
Yeah, come on! She's my supergirl!
Superlungs
Yeah
Supergirl
Superlungs.
My!

Superlungs
Superlungs

She's my supergirl!
Superlungs
Fly, take off, now take off, fly!
Hey come on!

"Talkin' Pop Star Blues"

"Talkin' Pop Star Blues"



Leitch

From the top!

If I get to be a big pop star
I'll buy me a Facel Vega car
I'll put nikki in the driving seat
Go out and give my friends a treat

I'll drive 'round the block with the radio blaring
Take off your clothes without caring
Get some girls who are nice and free
That don't give a damn about chastity
They all agree, such a big issue
Over a tiny little bit of tissue

I'll ride 'round to my old pal bounce's
Go up town and score some ounces
He was good to me, you see
He used to give me lifts for free

Now, Julian is the one I like
I'm gonna buy him a pedal bike
So he'll be in keeping with his station
Riding around my pot plantation
I'm gonna buy him a panama hat
And a bamboo chair, he'll like that
A nice big chick to spend his time
And pretty soon they'd blow their minds

Now, don't you think that I'd look cute
In a big gold lame suit?
With shiny lips and greasy hair
And my fifteen percent share
You see the one with the red dress on
She does the hoochy coochy all night long
Baby, baby, I love you
Baby, baby, why do you make me blue

I'm gonna change my name to Rick or Jean
Work out a nice stage routine
Pretty soon I'd write a song
Forget the words and sing it wrong
It doesn't matter
If your wallet gets fatter

It'll be nice to be a big pop star
If I can't be one I don't care
I don't give a damn rich or poor
I'll find a welcome at many door
You'd take me in, wouldn't you love?
You'd take me in, wouldn't you love?

Now, I know a girl called Marianne
I wanna make love to her if I can
Get her in bed for better or worse
If a Rolling Stone ain't got there first
It's quite probable
Be quite comemorable
Wouldn't be comparable
Get nice and stoneable

So I'd rock around the old fir tree
Merry Christmas to Bo Diddly
I'm gonna be a cool humdinger
The one and only pop folk singer
There ain't much left to say
Before I pack up and decide to stay
Fee, fi, fo, fum
Hit parade, here I come!

"Tangier"

"Tangier"



In Tangier down a windy street
Where beggars meet and on old rags do sleep
The women dressed in soiled white sheet
With starving kids by their side.
With staring eyes that never weep
Old Moroccans with their elephantiasis feet
Who life and death treat so cheap
Happy in their hunger
For they live longer than their fathers.

Happy in their hunger
For they live longer than their, than their, than their fathers.
