I turned around to see the girl with unbrushed hair Twice in a week, I’ve seen that frightened wall-eyed stare She didn’t judge me She just nudged me (Head in the clouds) I’m disapproving She keeps on moving (Head in the clouds) I call my buddy at home he doesn’t pick up the phone But I know he’s there I go to knock on his door I see him sprawled on the floor Completely unaware I bang a window He plays Nintendo (Head in the clouds) He doesn’t hear me He’s watching Grand Prix (Head in the clouds) I had a dream today where all this disappeared I didn’t have to find a job or even trim my beard Laid-back and lazy My mind was hazy (Head in the clouds) That’s it for me now Nothing but lowbrow (Head in the clouds) Clouds White puffy clouds Are you proud? With your head in a cloud

Remember not to open your mouth If you do then the words will fall out Lies will come first, then you only make it worse So remember not to open your mouth There really is no place to go When you’ve told her all there is to know Well you pray it will be quick, but you’ll argue till you’re sick So remember not to open your mouth Open your mouth… No… UH OH! Time and time again you fall When you pick up that receiver and call 555-COMPROMISE Choose Life! You only got yourself to blame You blunder once and then it’s more of the same Like a fear-struck deer, blinded, wishing you weren’t here Remember not to open your mouth Open your mouth… No… No… UH OH! Don’t cook the phone And don’t make a stink You don’t have to live your life… According to Link! Remember if you want a good night Keep it schtum, there’s no need for a fight Anything you say may be taken to the grave So remember not to open your mouth Yeah, remember not to open your mouth If you do then the words will fall out Lies will come first, then, yeah, you know you’re only making it worse So remember not to open your mouth Don’t even try The jeopardy’s much too high To reason why Why… why… why… Don’t cook the phone Cause a stink You don’t have to live your life… According to Link!

Fragile, handle with care The man with the see-thru hair A face in the crowd Depending on you to be there Store in a cool dry place Dicky heart for that toothy face A memory bank no quack could ever erase A scheduled tour of Haiti or Sudan Learning to fly can’t hurt this nightwatchman Formed from gator glue Embalmed down at the Zombie Zoo A muddy crutch, a Midas touch See-thru…hair Anna won’t back down Her head’s been turned around This way up, our Wilbury stuck in town Man with see-thru hair… And waistcoat flair The man with see-thru hair… Bob and Roger The man with see-thru hair… Rickenbacker The man with see-thru hair… Is dead… Oh yeah! Pack up the car Drums, bass, keys and guitar A long winter break Mr Integrity bought the farm Another boomer has-been Gone in twenty seventeen Place your bets for this year’s celebrity death

I just rode into town Looking for a warhorse party Joust around the corner? I hope we can dance-a-lot I seen you in your blue jeans I’m in my chainmail (Saturday Knight) Whaddya mean there’s a dress code? (Saturday Knight) This knight could go down in history (Saturday Knight) Or jive right there on the battlefield Grab a wing Start to swing It’s all about gallantry Aren’t you Galahad to meet The king of all chivalry I heard this guy play before (Saturday Knight) A fellow knight of the turntable (Saturday Knight) There’s people all around me taking ‘selfies’ (Saturday Knight) It’s a long way from the Camelot I know. (Saturday Knight) I need a drink, meads a drink, can you buy me a drink? (Saturday Knight) I swore to nix Kaliber (Saturday Knight) I better grab my coat of arms (Saturday Knight) You’ve pulled Take my armour, I’ll teach you how to lance (On Saturday night) (Saturday Knight)

Spring into Summer Leave behind any bummer Steal a car for the weekend Tollbooth fees, a Mr Freeze One tanned arm, another sewage farm caught in the breeze DAB radio free, Europe on the cheap with me (You’ll see) Let’s drive till we spew (Steve Wright on Radio 2) Cola and Ketchup Bubblegum in your haircut Car tapes filling the air (No care) Driving in heat Garbage filling the backseat Only just begun our season in the sun Air-con blowing hot Buy a fan at the next stop Wake up at noon… …Tune into June Bugs on the windshield Sight to see, take a picture, need to pee The State Lottery (State Lottery Yeah!) Seven states to Jacksonville Giant crosses on the hill Camcorder zoom/tilt (Recording) Driving in heat Garbage filling the backseat Only just begun our season in the sun Air-con on the blink Need some petrol Need to think Wake up at noon… …Tune into June “Last July at the beach I was weak, unable to speak… She told me “It’s over” Summer blubbin’ filled pain, without her overcast and rain… Riding in a shopping cart but now the clouds begin to part… Could this be a brand new start? now she’s back inside my heart” Driving in heat Garbage filling the backseat Only just begun our season in the sun We’re so fucking cool we’re syphoning the fuel Wake up at noon…

Miracle Mile 02:38
Took some time to make you mine I guess it wasn’t worth the while I can’t spend my whole life trying My feet will beat the Miracle Mile Oh, I don’t know where you’re meant to go Are you meant to be a horror in black I can’t see where you’re meant to be Everybody says that you’re back Everybody seems to have a pocketknife Whittle me, belittle me Oh my god, don’t wanna marry me I can’t see where you’re meant to be Everybody says that you’re Now I can’t see where we’re meant to be Everybody says that you’re back

Don’t make me work Just let me act like a jerk How’d I get paid for scripting the words I say How’d I get paid for living a phoney way All I wanna do Is air recklessness with you (We’ll be) Watched by a nation Followed on a telephone Summers in Ibiza Trollied on the journey home (And the TV guide said to…) Come with me, Alaskan Sea All across the world, I guarantee They’ll never show enough of you and me Come with me, Alaskan Sea All across the world, I guarantee They’ll never show enough of you and me…on TV (You may need to retune) Come with me, Alaskan Sea All across the world, I guarantee They’ll never show enough of you and me Come with me, Alaskan Sea All across the world, I guarantee They’ll never show enough of you and me…on TV (You and me, they’ll never show enough of you and me, they’ll never show enough) (Never get enough TV) Come with me, Alaskan Sea Oh, Ohh Come with me, Alaskan Sea No, No, No
