LOVE IN THE SPACE AGE

love in the space age
true love in the space age
living in the space age
well I’m sitting here wondering what’s going on
checked out ‘Dirty Money’ on Netflix tonight
I don’t know if I’m coming or going it’s tearing me apart
pretty as a picture that glows in the dark
so let your heartbeat dance with me
to a neon backlit symphony
as we perambulate through 1901
the roads are mud & horseshit
& the air is suffocating
& a colourless cloud is blocking out the sun
they’ve got amnesia.. oh no they’ve got amnesia
don’t make it harder than it already is
never felt so good to be alive
I’m watching the shitshow unravel
see how far the bulldust can travel
I can’t believe my eyes
so let your heartbeat dance with me
thru a field of sunflowers merrily
as we try so hard to look the other way
& I ask myself was it ever thus ?
& I ask myself what’s wrong with us ?
come let your heartbeat dance with me
they’ve got amnesia.. oh no they’ve got amnesia
well this is love in the space..
true love in the space age honey
living in the space age
this is love in the space..
true love in the space age
so come on now let’s run away
& find a field of golden sunflowers
love is the only thing we take with us
cos nothing else really matters
so let your heartbeat dance with me
to a neon backlit symphony
& the only thing we need to do
is be there for each other

MAGIC ROUNDABOUT
04:38
|
|||
|
people looking for a bargain
at the car boot sale you can find anything
motorbike parts & stolen fags
even broken biscuits in plastic bags
lo & behold that’s when I suddenly see
a box full of old videos with 400 episodes
from the 1970’s.. my all time favorite show
ooh.. I’m gonna take them home
yeah I’m gonna take time out
& watch the magic roundabout
yeah I can hardly wait
to watch the magic roundabout
the dreamer in me wants it to be
better than ever.. pure ecstacy
all that Qanon nonsense
gimme a break from this world of lies
turn the lights down I got me a scotch & coke
rolled me a big fat smoke oh I put my feet up
take me away for awhile wearin’ a great big smile
where are we going to ? what are we gonna do ?
what are we gonna see ? where are you taking me ?
I’m gonna take a ride on the magic roundabout
havin’ the time of my life on the magic roundabout
I’m sitting I’m waiting I’m anticipating
revisiting my favorite old show
& all these years later I feel like a traitor
the magic has lost it’s warm glow
binge watching for hours & something is missing
there’s one thing I’m starting to know
the show is the same.. it’s me that has changed
I guess I’ll just have to let it go
where are we going to ? what are we gonna do ?
what are we gonna see ? where are you taking me ?
it’s all that I can do to take my mind off of you
hop on the magic roundabout
ride on the magic roundabout
yeah turn off & trip on out
ooh.. magic roundabout

PLANET SUBLIME
05:01
|
|||
|
you had to be there, you really had to see it.. a mothership way up in the sky
zigzagging zigzagging zigzagging across the indigo night
I wish those spacemen would come and take me, I’d climb aboard with open arms
take me won’t you take me please take me to planet sublime
oh I been in transit to nowhere doing high G centrifuge training
spinning out without you, so beam me up to the stars
so tell me what cloud you’re living on so I can come and dock with you
we could be happy on planet sublime, just follow the starmap and travel in time
building a spaceship in my backyard, with bits and pieces from the dump
two dozen katherine wheels for my rockets and I got a beanbag to cushion the bumps
it’s the shiniest rocketship covered in tinfoil, she’s goin’ goin’ nowhere fast
I’m ready for liftoff I’m ready for action I’m ready for anything you throw my way
it’s a place with no sadness or sorrow where you’ve got all the time in the world
and there’s no need to beg steal or borrow just chillin’ out with my girl
oh everyone’s happy on planet sublime, just follow the starmap and travel in time
I wish those spacemen would come and take me, I’d climb aboard with open arms
cos here on earth everyone is alien and I’d rather be out there
oh zigzagging yeah zigzagging across the sky
take me to that place with no sadness or sorrow where we got all the time in the world
where everybody lives for tomorrow and every oyster comes with a pearl
we’re gonna have a good time we’re gonna have a funtime
we’re gonna be happy on planet sublime
come on and take me to planet sublime

MYSTIFIED
04:19

broken glass across the floor
a tortured heart runs out the door
it only takes one wrong word
for the shit to hit the fan
yeah I'm in the dark have no clue
have no idea what comes over you
you really got me mystified
well and truly mystified
sure as hell mystified
I'm overcome by your sweet touch
mesmerised by the way you move
there are no words that say how much
forever just ain't long enough
upon my face a happy grin
and suddenly it all caves in
you really got me mystified
well and truly mystified
sure as hell mystified
I'm befuddled, baffled, bemused bewildered
bowled over.. you blow my mind, dumbfounded
confused dazed distracted and discombobulated
flabberghasted muddleheaded perplexed perturbed
puzzled.. completely stupified and I'm vexed..
yeah I'm coming apart at the seams
you sure got me mystified
well and truly mystified
sure as hell mystified

PEAR-SHAPED
04:12
|

|
well I been hankering for the way that people used to sing
mmm.. they called it crooning, & it was mighty fine
they had a way with words not crass or vulgar.. quite superb
innuendo with a sense of the absurb.. mmm it was mighty fine
but things keep changin’ it’s oh so strange
like a mad dog chasin’.. it’s a mad dog chasin’ it’s tail
fashion & trends oh it just never ends it’s all out of whack
& there’s no turnin’ back.. me oh my
pearshaped, it’s all gone pearshaped
how I wish that things would never ever change
pearshaped, oh everything has gone pearshaped
yeah I wish that things could always stay the same
& I must confess oh I’m just so impressed
with the way that people used to dress
they had style manners & charm
& those people would dance
squeezin’ tight & holding hands
so much love & romance
not like today they all dance alone
& those fashion & trends it just never ends
it’s all out of whack & there’s no turnin’ back..
me oh my.. things keep changin’ it’s oh so strange
like a mad dog chasin’.. a mad dog that’s chasin’ it’s tail
pearshaped, oh everything has gone pearshaped
with that doomph doomph music ringin’ in my ears
pearshaped, it’s all has gone pearshaped
yeah I’m tellin’ you it’s bound to end in tears
pearshaped, oh everything has gone pearshaped
how I wish that things would never ever change

medication.. medication..
you’re the only drug that I need
a dose of you & I feel better
I can hear you cryin’ with happiness
I can see you laughin’ in my face
there’s a vase of flowers in my living room
that you put there sometime in June
can’t bring myself to through them out
& I somehow doubt.. I ever will
I think I’m goin’ crazy
{but you’re already crazy}
huh yeah well that covers that
look what you’re doin’ to me
you are the drug that I need
oh.. look what you’ve done
please be my medication tonight
be my wonder drug & make it alright
want to take a joy ride on a magic unicorn
wearin’ my big bow tie playin’ the clown
feels like a sad song with violins & violence
party balloons across the ceiling
to remind me of your absence
oh boy I think I lost it
{sure hope you find it}
anybody sees it.. please let me know
please be my medication tonight
be my wonder drug & make it alright
no I can’t snap out of this reverie
sweet reverie

everybody’s going to a party tonight
they’ll be at the center of the universe
playing in the garden of sweet earthly delights
magic potions to quench their thirst
& it seems like sometimes
the whole world is against you
& all you wanna do is go get high
shitfaced shitfaced let’s all get shitfaced
out of it.. out of it.. out of our minds
wasted wasted let’s all get wasted
yeah just because we can
sometimes things don’t work out
the way you’d like them too
can’t make a dung heap smell like a rose
searchin’ for that somethin’
& you don’t know what it is
never findin’ what you’re lookin’ for
& it seems like sometimes
the whole world is against you
& all you wanna do is go get high
shitfaced shitfaced let’s all get shitfaced
out of it.. out of it.. out of our minds
wasted wasted let’s all get wasted
yeah just because we can
a dream within a nightmare
like the calm before a storm
as you walk on by my door
with an angel on my shoulder
& the devil in my heart
gettin’ shitfaced is all I can do
everybody’s going to a party tonight
they wanna forget all their worries & woes

ALL A DREAM
04:41
|
|||
|
there’s a little voice yellin’ inside of my head
feel like a lonely old cloud in a clear blue sky
watchin’ the world unravel oh it’s not as tho I didn’t try
yeah I wouldn’t ever ever wanna change a thing
no I wouldn’t want it any other way
no I didn’t see it comin’ n’I didn’t see it comin’ at all
oh please don’t tell it was all a dream
don’t tell me it was all a dream
sometimes things ain’t what they seem
don’t tell me it was all a dream
don’t ever wake me up from this elusive slumber
I’ve been dreamin’ on a rainbow.. may it never end
oh yeah I wouldn’t want it any other way
I wouldn’t change a single thing oh no
I been staring out my window
wonderin’ why my mojo got up
& walked right out on me
oh I been livin’ in a fairytale
livin’ in a daydream world
yeah I really wouldn’t want it any other way
no I never ever want to change a thing
no I didn’t see it comin’ n’I didn’t see it comin’ at all
oh please don’t tell it was all a dream

NOT A DAY
04:31
|
|||
|
I climb aboard the first train
that’s headed up north tonight
don’t know where i’m going
taking my broken heart for a joy ride
listen to the train tracks
playing there clickety clack
drumming to the sound of your sweet voice
saying you ain’t never coming back
there’s not a day i don’t think about you
not a day i can live without you.. not a day
not a day.. no way.. not one single day
i dreamt i was standing on a hilltop
watching the stars flicker in the sky
suddenly you were next to me
a beautiful precious sight
i guess i gotta wear it
they say you can’t win them all
it’s better to have loved & lost
than never loved at all
there’s not a day i don’t think about you
not a day i can live without you..
not a day you don’t cross my mind
not a day not a day not a day not a day
not one single day
i can’t get you out of my head
so many things i wish that i’d never said
i can’t get you out of my mind
i know it’s a cliche
but it’s the only words i can find
i can’t get you out of my heart
it’s tearing.. yeah it’s tearing me apart
so i get off at beer bottle junction
just cos i like the sound of the name
spend the night under a lemon tree
wishing it hadn’t turned out this way
try & try & try to forget
but you’re inbedded in my brain
drowning all my sorrows
close my eyes & float away
not a day i don’t think about you
not a day i can live without you.. not a day
not a day you don’t cross my mind
not a day i feel you by my side.. not a day
try & try & try to forget

YOU NEVER KNOW
04:22
|
|||
|
it’s 4am I toss and turn my mind is runnin’ round in circles
n’I wanna cry, I wanna scream
obliterate the nightmares from my dreams
oh you never know how much you love somethin’
until it’s.. til it’s gone
yaNEVERknow etc
you just never ever know
you can’t ever really know
I wanna run, I wanna hide from all the pain locked up inside
I wanna cry, I could scream..
delete the memories from my mind
oh you never know how much you miss somethin’
until it’s.. til it’s gone
yaNEVERknow etc etc
ah you’re just never really sure
what’s hidin’ behind the door
let it take you.. wherever it may lead
however it all pans out... serendipity
the hand we are dealt is the hand we must play
well.. I shoulda known shoulda seen
whatever it takes to kick that damn door down
sittin’ on the edge of your seats
yaNEVERknow what’s waitin’ round the corner
oh you never know how much you love somethin’
until it’s.. til it’s gone
yaNEVERknow etc etc etc etc

IN HARMONY
04:01
|
|||
|
I love most things
n’ I hate nothing
more than bullies
haters and liars
yeah’n’ I got no time
for cheats and thieves
and climate change deniers
‘n’ they rant and rave..
preppin’ for doomsday
and they’re livin’..
in a grand delusion
gettin’ ready.. for the day
that’ll never come
and thru the chaos & the mayhem
the bulldust and the carnage
somehow it all stays in harmony
and mother nature, good old mother nature
she pisses in her own backyard.. oh no
so bleak so sad
a world gone mad
it’s like watchin’
a slow fuse burn
and yet.. somehow
the earth still turns
oh we never ever
seem to learn
and the voice of reason
has gone on holiday
and all they do is kneel and pray
they’re gettin’ ready
for the day that’ll never come
and even mother nature,
good old mother nature
why she pisses in her own backyard
thru the mayhem and the chaos
the carnage and the bulldust
somehow it all stays in harmony
in harmony

COMBAT BOOTS
04:46
|
|||
|
I met her in a rehab, nineteen ninety one
I looked at her she smiled at me
into the realms of fantasy
our hearts began to stir
she was poppin’ propofol & I was seroquelled
seeing stars, seeing things so zonked out we made plans
for if we ever get out of here
take the first on the left second on the right
head on down third avenue the fourth set of lights
n’ I’ll play beethoven's fifth every sixth of july
that way you’ll be able find me if we get outta here alive
& she said.. I'll be wearing my birthday suit
lime green hair and my combat boots
n’ I get the feeling we're in cahoots
just you and me and my combat boots
they had us in group therapy was her turn to tell all
I was hanging on every word the more I heard
my heart stirred I just had to set her free
in this crazy haze kaleidoscope of institution green
psychiatrists psychologists.. say what is this ?
they’re the crazy ones.. let’s hightail out of here
take the first on the left second on the right
head on down third avenue to the fourth set of lights
n’ we’ll play beethoven's fifth every sixth of july
& we’ll be in 7th heaven with an 8th of custard pie
yeah.. I'll be wearing my birthday suit
lime green hair and my combat boots
yeah I know for sure that we're in cahoots
why even in bed.. I’ll wear my combat boots
I’ll be waitin’ here for you every day
I’ve cleaned up my act & I’ve changed my ways
so where are you ?
