An oldie, but a goodie:
Please Don't Ask what Colony Of Slippermen I live with. I know what I
like, otherwise I'm In Limbo (or In Hiding) at A Place To Call My Own.
I'm often Down and Out with Mad Man Moon, and often Entangled in my own
dreams. So it's no wonder that I don't notice when it's Paperlate!
I really have No Reply At All, but I want no Misunderstandings, and if
you Follow Me, I will Follow You, as long as I'm not a Fugitive who's In
The Cage because of Robbery, Assault & Battery. I'm no Man Of Our
Times,
and I don't know WHo Dunnit? but unless I can Turn It On Again with the
Man On The Corner, I won't have to be Alone Tonight in the Cul-De-Sac.
Like It Or Not, Me And Sarah Jane are gonna Dance On A Volcano with
the
Watcher Of The Skies, listening to the Musical Box until Supper's Ready.
After The Ordeal, I may put Another Record on to Squonk to, staying
Behind The Lines of the Ripples until Duke's End. Or will I try to Spot
The Pigeon at The Cinema Show, doing the Carpet Crawl to the Aisle of
Plenty?
You Might Recall that I'm in the Land Of Confusion, just Throwing It
All Away in the Afterglow (or is that in the Glow of the Night?). I Get
The Feeling that you think I'm Acting Very Strange, or that I'm In Too
Deep in the Undertow. It's certainly A Curious Feeling being in
Somebody
Else's Dream, but i'm just a Throwback looking for a Shortcut to
Somewhere, because I Couldn't Get Arrested for Silent Running even if
there was A Call To Arms. Mama took The Knife to The White Mountain
because she was Looking For Someone. She found the Man of Spells was
Hanging By a Thread, and called for the Duchess to pull A Trick Of The
Tail. That was certainly One For The Vine. Maybe I'm Taking It All Too
Hard but it's Just A Job To Do, That's All. I'll be Moving Under the
Fading Lights so I don't have to see the Blood On The Rooftops, and
after
Dusk, Between The Tick And The Tock, I'll see a Vision of Angels on
Solsbury Hill and be Taken In. We've got to Get 'Em Out By Friday,
before the Light Dies Down on Broadway, and All I Need Is A Miracle.
It's really an Overnight Job and All In A Mouse's Night. Look for the
Queen of Darkness under the Silver Rainbow, and maybe you'll see Me and
Virgil at the Home By The Sea by The Border.
Just Say It's Alright Joe, or tell me The Lady Lies, Still It Takes Me
By Surprise. You Call This Victory, Lucky Me, but Keep It Dark, or
You're No Son Of Mine. Stay at your Hideaway, But Till We Have Faces,
The Brazilian is Snowbound. You have Your Own Special Way, but Wot
Gorilla climbs a Burning Rope? The man in green has been to The
Fountain
of Samalcis, but I Wanna Change The Score. After Dancing With The
Moonlit Knight and the Eleventh Earl of Mar That Night, I know that It's
Gonna Get Better, And The WHeels Keep Turning Time And Time Again.
There
will be no Rainclouds, and Diamonds Aren't So Tough to find at the
Second Home By The Sea. And Tonight, Tonight, Tonight, there will be
no Lurker Counting Out Time, with an Invisible Touch or Charm.
Take The Reins, because we're only Halfway There, Where The Sour Turns
To Sweet and the Guide Vocal has the Moonshine Deep In The Motherload.
This Is Love; You Are The One. Thanks for The Gift. You're the Hero
For The Hour; Say You'll Never Leave Me At The End Of The Day, A Day To
Remember. A House Needs A Roof, but the Roof Is Leaking, and As Sure As
Eggs Is Eggs, I Can't Dance till The Final Curtain at Los Endos. Am I
Very Wrong?
