DIAMONDS ARE FOR DANGER
DONT THROW FIREWORKS, THEY MAY REARRANGE YOU
CHARLIE SAYS DONT TALK TO STRANGERS
BE CAREFUL ON ESCALATORS
II WONT BE THERE WHEN YOU CROSS THE ROAD
SAYS THE PHONY SUPERHERO IN THE SPANDEX CLOTHES
DONT ACT THE FOOL LIKE PETUNIA AND JOE
PLEASE FOLLOW THE FIREWORK CODE
WATCH OUT ON THE ROAD FOR BILLY BLUNDERS
HIS DANGEROUS DRIVING MIGHT PUT YOU SIX FOOT UNDER
WATCH OUT!
(CHORUS)
DONT THROW YOUR FRISBEE NEAR THE POWER LINES
OR PLAY LIKE AN APACHE ON A RAILWAY LINE
THINK ONCE, THINK TWICE, FOR GOD SAKE THINK BIKE
SPLINK! AND IT MIGHT JUST SAVE YOUR LIFE
DONT DAZZLE DIP YOUR HEADLIGHTS
STAY SAFE STAY SEEN EVERY NIGHT
WITH A N INSIDE LEFT AND AN INSIDE RIGHT
NOT ALL BURGLARS LOOK LIKE BILL SYKES
CLUNK CLICK EVERY TRIP
DONT BE LIKE DAVE KEEP IN THE SWIM
FATAL FLOORS MIGHT BE SLIPPY
DONT FORGET TO SAY A PRAYER FOR JIMMY
POOR JIMMY
POOR BOY JIMMY GOT INTO THE SUBSTATION
AND DIED OF A SIXTY THOUSAND VOLT BELLBOTTOM INCINERATION
JIMMY!
(CHORUS)
THE SPIRIT OF THE DARK AND LONELY WATER
STILL LOOKS FOR VICTIMS EVERY SINGLE SUMMER
USING BICYCLES AND BEDSTEADS TO DRAG THEM UNDER
(CHORUS)
I'LL BE BACK......

LAST NIGHT I MET THE EARTH GODDESS
SHE WASNT WEARING SHOES
SHE STOOD THERE AND SMILED AT ME WHILE I WAS DRINKING IN THE BLUES
SHE BECKONED ME INTO THE GARDEN
I WAS TO SCARED TO GO
I WATCHED HER DANCE OUT ONTO THE STREET
I STAYED WHEN I SHOULD HAVE FOLLOWED
(CHORUS)
AND I WAS LIVING IN THE STRANGEST OF DAYS
LOST IN A SUMMER HAZE
AND IF I CLIMB UP TO THE TOP OF THAT HILL
I MIGHT NEVER COME DOWN AGAIN
NEVER COME DOWN AGAIN
THE ONCE AND THE FUTURE KING AND ALL THE KNIGHTS OF THE GRAIL
COULDNT PICK ME OFF OF THE FLOOR
MY CHAKRAS OFF THE SCALE
AND I WAS CRAWLING ON MYT HANDS AND KNEES
LOOKING FOR THE LABRYINTH
AND I SWEAR I CAN SEE THE FAIREY FOLK
OR IS THAT JUST THE DRINK
CHORUS
AND IM A LITTLE BUG EYED LIKE THAT GARGOYLE TONIGHT
IM BABBLING AT THE PASSERS BY
IM SEEING ANGELS IN THE STREET LIGHTS
IT MUST BE ALL IN MY MINDS EYE
I WOKE UP IN A STRANGE ROOM
SOMEWHER ON THE EDGE OF TOWN
SO I OPENED UP THE WINDOWS
AS MY HEAD WAS SPINNING ROUND
AND I SWEAR ON A SWEET MIDSUMMER BREEZE I HEARD HER CALL MY NAME
I'LL WAIT FOR YOU IN AVALON FAIR
BECAUSE I KNOW YOU'LL BE BACK AGAIN BOY
TO LIVE IN THE STRANGEST OF DAYS
GET LOST IN A SUMMER HAZE
AND WHEN YOU CLIMB UP TO THE TOP OF THAT HILL
YOU'LL NEVER COME DOWN AGAIN
NEVER COME DOWN AGAIN
NEVER COME DOWN AGAIN
I'LL NEVER COME DOWN AGAIN

SWEATING IN THE SUMMER AND SMELLING LIKE THE DRUMMER
IM COOPED UP ON THE TOP DECK OF A BUS RIDE TO HELL
AND THE BIRMINGHAM FLY THAT LOOKS ME IN THE EYE
CAN GO AND SWAT ITSELF AND FALL AND CRAWL AWAY AND DIE
AND THE MAN NEXT TO ME SEEMS TO WANT THE DOUBLE SEAT
I HEAR THEIR DIGGING HIS HOLE NOW IN THE CEMETERY
AND HE'S LICKING THE WINDOW AS WE PASS THE FAST FOOD
AND THE WAITRESS SMILES BACK AND I DONT WANT TO BE RUDE BUT....
SHE'S EASY ON THE EGGS
EASY ON THE EYE
EASY ON THE HEARTBURN
I THINK HE'S GONNA DIE
EASY ON THE EGGS
EASY ON THE EYE
EASY ON THE HEARTBURN
I THINK HE'S GONNA DIE
CRAWLING THROUGH THE CONTRAFLOW AND CREEPING THROUGH THE CONES
AND A GIRL GETS ON AND SHE'S JUST SKIN AND BONES
SHE MUST BE A SUPERMODEL OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT
SHE'S GOT THEM ADDICTED EYES AND A POUNDSHOP BAG
AND THE OLD PASSENGERS MUTTER IN WHISPERS OF DISGUST
AS WE PASS THE FACTORY GATES ALL PADLOCKED WITH RUST
AND THE GIRL GETS OFF AND THE FAT GUY LICKS HIS LIPS
BY THE WAY HIS PULSE IS RACING I GUESS HE'S HAD HIS CHIPS
BECAUSE SHE'S
EASY ON THE EGGS
EASY ON THE EYE
EASY ON THE HEARTBURN
I THINK HE'S GONNA DIE
EASY ON THE EGGS
EASY ON THE EYE
EASY ON THE HEARTBURN
I THINK HE'S GONNA DIE

POLLY LIVES IN THE BIG HOUSE
ON THE EDGE OF TOWN
ITS THE ONE WITH THE RED DOOR
WITH ALL THE BLINDS PULLED DOWN
CLEMAITIS AND HYDRANGEAS
GROW BEYOND HER WALL
SHE DONT ANSWER TO STRANGERS LIKE ME
SHE WONT COME TO THE DOOR
POLLYS GONE EX DIRECTORY
SHE WONT ANSWER THE PHONE
CANT LEAVE MY NAME AND NUMBER
THERES NO DIALING TONE
POLLY WORKS ON THE TV
SHE READS THE SIX O CLOCK NEWS
SHE LOOKS SO GOOD IN HER NEW DRESS
SHE LOOKS SO GOOD IN THOSE SHOES
POLLY GOES TO MEETINGS
SHE DONT COME HOME UNTIL LATE
SHE GOES BACK TO AN EMPTY HOUSE
ON THAT UNREAL ESTATE
POLLY IT DONT HAVE TO BE LIKE THAT
JUST GIVE ME A CALL
I'LL RUN ROUND TO THAT RED DOOR
TO LOVE YOU LIKE BEFORE
LIKE BEFORE WHEN WE WERE A THING
AND I PROMISED YOU BELLS AND RINGS
BUT I BROKE YOUR HEART
AND I LEFT THAT HAPPY HOME
POLLYS GETTING MARRIED
SO THE GOSSIP MAGS SAY
I READ IT AT THE NEWSAGENTS
WHILE I WAS WAITING TO PAY
POLLY IM GOING TO HOLD MY PEACE
WHEN YOU WEAR THAT GOWN
I KICK MYSELF FOR MY STUPID MISTAKE
WHEN I LEFT POLLYS HOUSE
