"Gold Watch Blues"

"Gold Watch Blues"




I went up for my interview on the 4th day of July
The personnel man he questioned me, until I nearly cried
Made me fill in forms, until I shook with fear
About the colour of my toilet roll and if my cousins queer

Here's your gold watch and the shackles for your chains
And your piece of paper, to say you left here sane
And if you've a son who wants a good career
Just get him to sign on the dotted line and work for 20 years

He asked me how many jobs id had before
He nearly had a heart attack when I answered four
Four jobs of 20 years or more, this can never be
We only take on men, who work on until they die

Here's your gold watch and the shackles for your chains
And your piece of paper, to say you left here sane
And if you've a son who wants a good career
Just get him to sign on the dotted line and work for 20 years

He took me outside to where the gravestones stand in line
This is where we bury them, in quickstone and in lime
And if you're going to work for us, this you must agree
That if you're going to die, please do it during tea break

Here's your gold watch and the shackles for your chains
And your piece of paper, to say you left here sane
And if you've a son who wants a good career
Just get him to sign on the dotted line and work for 20 years

This story that you've hear, you may think rather queer
But it is the truth you'll be surprised to hear
I did not want some job up on the board
I just wanted to take a broom and sweep the bloody floor

"Guinevere"

"Guinevere"



Guinevere of the royal court of Arthur
Draped in white velvet, silk and lace.
The rustle of her gown on the marble staircase,
Sparkles on fingers, slender and pale.
The jester he sleeps but the raven he peeps
Through the dark foreboding skies of the royal domain.
Maroon-coloured wine from the vineyards of Charlemagne
Is sipped by the queen's lips and so gently
Indigo eyes in the flickering candlelight,
Such is the silence o'er royal Camelot.
The jester he sleeps but the raven he peeps
Through the dark foreboding skies of the royal domain.
Guinevere of the royal court of Arthur
Draped in white velvet, silk and lace.
The rustle of her gown on the marble staircase,
Sparkles on her fingers both slender and pale.
The jester he sleeps but the raven he peeps
Through the dark foreboding skies of the royal domain.

"Half Moon Bay"

"Half Moon Bay"



I'm going to Half Moon Bay love, going right away
To write there on the sand where the words they cannot stay
Living in the city in a delusionary way
Writing on the wind, where the words they cannot say what I want them to say
So I'm going to Half Moon Bay.

What do you say? Can you come to Half Moon Bay?
What do you say? Can you come to Half Moon Bay?

I'm going to Half Moon Bay, love, packing a Panama
To drink of the coco palm tree, partake of the banana
Sleeping in the soft night air with the velvet starry sky
The sound of the see a-soothing me as the balmy breezes sigh, hey what do you say?
Will you come to Half Moon Bay?

What do you say? Can you come to Half Moon Bay?
What do you say? Can you come to Half Moon Bay?

You'll love the mornings when the wind is fresh and the horses dash ashore
Take you riding on the windward side, you can feel the storm much more
Watching the waves crash on the rocks and the crabs run through the spray
I know a cafe, it's nice and cosy where we might spend the day, if you come to Half Moon Bay.

What do you say? Can you come to Half Moon Bay?
What do you say? Can you come to Half Moon Bay?

I'm going to Half Moon Bay, love, going right away
To write there on the sand, where the words they cannot stay
Living in the city in a delusionary way
Writing on the wind, where the words they cannot say what I want them to say
Can you come to Half Moon Bay?

What do you say? Will you come to Half Moon Bay?
What do you say? Can you come to Half Moon Bay?
What do you say? Can you come to Half Moon Bay?

"Hampstead Incident"

"Hampstead Incident"



Standing by the Everyman, digging the rigging on my sail
Rain fell to sounds of harpsichords, to the spell of fairy tale.
The heath was hung in magic mists, enchanted dripping glades,
I'll taste a taste until my mind drifts from this scene and fades
In the night time.
Crystals sparkle in the grass, I polish them with thought
On my lash there in my eye a star of light is caught.
Fortunes told in grains of sand, here I am is all I know
Candy stuck in children's hair, everywhere I go
In the night time,
In the night time.
Gypsy is the clown of love, I paint his face a smile
Anyone we ever make we always make in style. Yeah!
Yeah, strange young girls with radar screenings, yeah,
And hands as quick as hate
I won't just now, later on maybe and even then I'll wait
In the night time,
In the night time.
Standing by the Everyman, digging the rigging on my sail
Rain fell to sounds of harpsichords, to the spell of fairy tale.
The heath was hung in magic mists, enchanted dripping glades,
I'll taste a taste until my mind drifts from this scene and fades
In the night time.
In the night time.

"Happiness Runs"

"Happiness Runs"



Little pebble upon the sand
Now you're lying here in my hand,
How many years have you been here?
Little human upon the sand
From where I'm lying here in your hand,
You to me are but a passing breeze.
The sun will always shine where you stand
Depending in which land
You may find yourself.
Now you have my blessing, go your way.
Happiness runs in a circular motion
Thought is like a little boat upon the sea.
Everybody is a part of everything anyway,
You can have everything if you let yourself be.
Happiness runs, happiness runs.
Happiness runs, happiness runs.
Happiness runs, happiness runs.
Happiness runs, happiness runs.
Happiness runs in a circular motion
Thought is like a little boat upon the sea.
Everybody is a part of everything anyway,
You can have everything if you let yourself be.
Happiness runs, happiness runs.
Happiness runs, happiness runs.
Happiness runs, happiness runs.
Happiness runs, happiness runs.
Happiness runs in a circular motion
Thought is like a little boat upon the sea.
Everybody is a part of everything anyway,
You can have everything if you let yourself be.
Happiness runs, happiness runs.
Happiness runs, happiness runs.
Happiness runs, happiness runs.
Happiness runs, happiness runs.
Why? Because.
Why? Because.
Why? Because.
Why? Because.
Happiness runs in a circular motion
Thought is like a little boat upon the sea.
Everybody is a part of everything anyway,
You can have everything if you let yourself be.
You can have everything if you let yourself be.
You can have everything if you let yourself be.
You can have everything if you let yourself be.
You can have everything if you let yourself be.
You can have everything if you let yourself be.
You can have everything if you let yourself be.
You can have everything if you let yourself be.
You can have everything if you let yourself be.

You can have everything if you let yourself be.

"Harmony"

"Harmony"



We must be in harmony
Before we do anything
We must be in harmony
Before we move.

We must be in harmony
Before we do anything
We must be in harmony
Before me move.

Mistaken resistance can make you grieve
It can be plain-sailing if you believe.

We must be in harmony
Before we do anything
We must be in harmony
Before we move.

We must be in harmony
Before we do anything
We must be in harmony.

There were three brothers in merry Scotland
In merry Scotland there were three aye
And they did cast lots which of them should go

And to turn robber along the salt sea
to turn pirate along the salt sea

The lot it fell first to Henry Martin
The younger of all the three
that he should turn robber along the salt sea
salt sea salt sea salty sea aye
For to maintain his two brothers and he
to maintain his two brothers and he

He had not been sailing but a long winters night
And part of a short winters day aye
When he a-spied a stout lofty ship
lofty ship lofty ship lofty ship aye
Come a bibben down on him straight away
Come a bibben down on him straight away

Hello Hello cried Henry Martin
What makes you sail so nigh-aye?

For I have turned pirate along the salt sea

come lower your top sail and slacken your mizen
and bring your ship under our lead aye
or will we give to you a full cannon ball

and all your merry men drown in the sea

Nor bring our ship under your lead

Then up him and at him and at him he went
For fully two hours or three aye
Til Henry Martin gave to them the death shot
the Death shot aye
And all the merry men drowned in the sea

and all her merry men drowned in the sea
