Maxwell’s Silver Hammer

Tuesday, November 24th, 2009

Joan was quizzical studied pataphysical science in the home
Late nights all alone with a test tube oh oh oh oh
Maxwell Edison majoring in medicine calls her on the phone
Can I take you out to the pictures Joan oh oh oh

But as she’s getting ready to go
A knock comes on the door
Bang bang Maxwell’s silver hammer came down upon her head
Bang bang Maxwell’s silver hammer made sure that she was dead

Back in school again Maxwell plays the fool again
Teacher gets annoyed
Wishing to avoid an unpleasant scene
She tells Max to stay when the class has gone away
So he waits behind
Writing fifty times I must not be so

But when she turns her back on the boy
He creeps up from behind
Bang bang Maxwell’s silver hammer came down upon her head
Bang bang Maxwell’s silver hammer made sure that she was dead

P.C. thirty-one said “We’ve caught a dirty one”
Maxwell stands alone
Painting testimonial pictures oh oh oh oh
Rose and Valerie screaming from the gallery
Say he must go free
The judge does not agree and he tells them so oh oh oh oh

But as the words are leaving his lips
A noise comes from behind
Bang bang Maxwell’s silver hammer came down upon his head
Bang Bang Maxwell’s silver hammer made sure that he was dead

Silver hammer man

Good Night

Tuesday, November 24th, 2009

Now it’s time to say good night
Good night sleep tight
Now the sun turns out his light
Good night sleep tight
Dream sweet dreams for me
Dream sweet dreams for you

Close your eyes and I’ll close mine
Good night sleep tight
Now the moon begins to shine
Good night sleep tight
Dream sweet dreams for me
Dream sweet dreams for you

Close your eyes and I’ll close mine
Good night sleep tight
Now the sun turns out his light
Good night sleep tight
Dream sweet dreams for me
Dream sweet dreams for you

Good night good night everybody
Everybody everywhere
Good night

Cry Baby Cry

Tuesday, November 24th, 2009

Cry baby cry
Make your mother sigh
She’s old enough to know better

The king of Marigold was in the kitchen
Cooking breakfast for the queen
The queen was in the parlour
Playing piano for the children of the king

Cry baby cry
Make your mother sigh
She’s old enough to know better
So cry baby cry

The king was in the garden
Picking flowers for a friend who came to play
The queen was in the playroom
Painting pictures for the childrens holiday

Cry baby cry
Make your mother sigh
She’s old enough to know better
So cry baby cry

The duchess of Kircaldy always smiling
And arriving late for tea
The duke was having problems
With a message at the local bird and bee

Cry baby cry
Make your mother sigh
She’s old enough to know better
So cry baby cry

At twelve o’clock a meeting round the table
For a seance in the dark
With voices out of nowhere
Put on specially by the children for a lark

Cry baby cry
Make your mother sigh
She’s old enough to know better
So cry baby cry cry cry cry baby
Make your mother sigh
She’s old enough to know better
Cry baby cry cry cry cry
Make your mother sigh
She’s old enough to know better
So cry baby cry

Savoy Truffle

Tuesday, November 24th, 2009

Creme tangerine and montelimat
A ginger sling with a pineapple heart
A coffee dessert, yes you know it’s good news
But you’ll have to have them all pulled out
After the Savoy Truffle

Cool cherry cream and a nice apple tart
I feel your taste all the time we’re apart
Coconut fudge, really blows down those blues
But you’ll have to have them all pulled out
After the Savoy Truffle

You might not feel it now
But when the pain cuts through
You’re going to know and how
The sweat is going to fill your head
When it becomes too much
You’ll shout aloud

But you’ll have to have them all pulled out
After the Savoy Truffle

You know that what you eat you are
But what is sweet now, turns so sour
We all know obla-di obla-da
But can you show me where you are?

Creme tangerine and montelimat
A ginger sling with a pineapple heart
A coffee dessert, yes you know its good news
But you’ll have to have them all pulled out
After the Savoy Truffle

Honey Pie

Tuesday, November 24th, 2009

She was a working girl
North of England way
Now she’s hit the big time
In the U.S.A.
And if she could only hear me
This is what I’d say

Honey pie
You are making me crazy
I’m in love but I’m lazy
So won’t you please come home
Oh honey pie
My position is tragic
Come and show me the magic
Of your Hollywood Song

You became a legend of the silver screen
And now the thought of meeting you
Makes me weak in the knee

Oh honey pie
You are driving me frantic
Sail across the Atlantic
To be where you belong
Honey pie
Come back to me

Will the wind that blew her boat across the sea
Kindly send her sailing back to me

Honey pie
You are making me crazy
I’m in love but I’m lazy
So won’t you please come home
Come back to me
Honey pie

Revolution 1

Tuesday, November 24th, 2009

You say you want a revolution
Well you know
We all want to change the world
You tell me that it’s evolution
Well you know
We all want to change the world

But when you talk about destruction
Don’t you know you can count me out?
Don’t you know it’s gonna be
Alright, alright, alright

You say you got a real solution
Well you know
We’d all love to see the plan
You ask me for a contribution
Well you know
We’re doing what we can

But when you want money for people with minds that hate
All I can tell you is brother you have to wait
Don’t you know it’s gonna be
Alright, alright, alright

You say you’ll change the constitution
Well you know
we all want to change your head
You tell me it’s the institution
Well you know
You better free your mind instead

But if you go carrying pictures of Chairman Mao
You ain’t going to make it with anyone anyhow
Don’t you know know it’s gonna be
Alright, alright, alright

Long, long, long

Tuesday, November 24th, 2009

It’s been a long, long, long time
How could I ever have lost you
When I loved you?

It took a long long, long time
Now I’m so happy I found you
How I love you

So many tears I was searching
So many tears I was wasting
Oh, oh

Now I can see you, be you
How can I ever misplace you
How I want you
Oh I love you
Your know that I need you
Ooh I love you

Helter skelter

Tuesday, November 24th, 2009

When I get to the bottom I go back to the top of the slide
Where I stop and I turn and I go for a ride
Till I get to the bottom and I see you again

Do you, don’t you want me to love you
I’m coming down fast but I’m miles above you
Tell me tell me tell me come on tell me the answer
You may be a lover but you ain’t no dancer
Helter skelter
Helter skelter
Helter skelter

Will you, won’t you want me to make you
I’m coming down fast but don’t let me break you
Tell me tell me tell me the answer
You may be a lover but you ain’t no dancer
Look out! helter skelter
Helter skelter
Helter skelter
Look out!
‘Cause here she comes

When I get to the bottom I go back to the top of the slide
And I stop and I turn and I go for a ride
And I get to the bottom and I see you again

Well do you, don’t you want me to make you
I’m coming down fast but don’t let me break you
Tell me tell me tell me the answer
You may be a lover but you ain’t no dancer
Look out! helter skelter
Helter skelter
Helter skelter
Look out! helter skelter
She’s coming down fast
Yes she is yes she is

I’ve got blisters on my fingers!

Sexy Sadie

Tuesday, November 24th, 2009

Sexy Sadie what have you done
You made a fool of everyone
You made a fool of everyone
Sexy Sadie ooh what have you done
Sexy Sadie you broke the rules
You layed it down for all to see
You layed it down for all to see
Sexy Sadie oooh you broke the rules

One sunny day the world was waiting for a lover
She came along to turn on everyone
Sexy Sadie the greatest of them all
Sexy Sadie how did you know
The world was waiting just for you
The world was waiting just for you
Sexy Sadie oooh how did you know
Sexy Sadie you’ll get yours yet
However big you think you are
However big you think you are
Sexy Sadie oooh you’ll get yours yet

We gave her everything we owned just to sit at her table
Just a smile would lighten everything
Sexy Sadie she’s the latest and the greatest of them all

However big you think you are
