While horsemen ride across the green
And Snow White still remains unseen. Pegasus, the winged horse, Relays his messages by Morse. And like some pirate sailor We crossed the Spanish Main And brought our magic carpet To a marble staircased plain. While Handel plays his melody Doctors cause uncertainty And though I know the lifeguard's brave There is no one for him to save. And like some pirate sailor We crossed the Spanish Main And brought our magic carpet To a marble staircased plain. Cock Robin views his frozen feet And wraps them in a winding sheet And calls out for his favourite drink The Persian that's as warm as mink. And like some pirate sailor We crossed the Spanish Main And brought our magic carpet To a marble staircased plain. |

I was trying hard to win
Save the world and be the king I was out there in the race Trying hard to force the pace Fool's gold fooled me too Bright and shiny looked brand new Fool's gold broke my heart Shone so brightly then fell apart Fools gold bitter sting Broken promise hollow ring Fool's gold cast the die Broken promise empty lie I was locked in bitter strife Fighting monsters all of my life I was out to break the pledge Force myself across the edge Fool's gold fooled me too Bright and shiny looked brand new Fool's gold broke my heart Shone so brightly then fell apart Fool's gold fooled me too Shine so brightly, looked brand new Fool's gold broke my heart Shone so brightly then fell apart Fool's gold fooled me too Fool's gold fooled me too Fool's gold fooled me too Fool's gold, fool's gold fooled me too |

I was standing on the mountain top staring at the sun
I was trying to act the hero's part not fooling anyone I was living for the moment but the moment never came Taking notes and stealing quotes, trying to make a name My time's been taken with taking my time By making my mind up, yes to make up my mind I was living in the country: I was trying not to freeze I was working on the cabbage plants, chopping down the trees I was learning how to cook the goose and how to milk the cow Taking out the dog for walks, teaching him how to bow My time's been taken, yes, with taking my time Oh, I'm making my mind up to make up my mind, yes Yes, my time's been taken, oh, with taking my time, yeah I'm making my mind up, yeah to make up my mind oh.... |

I keep forgetting you don't love me no more
I keep forgetting you don't want me no more I keep forgetting that you told me that you Didn't want me around anymore But these stupid old feet Just head for your street Like they've done so many times before And this stubborn old fist At the end of my wrist Keeps knocking on your front door I keep forgetting you don't love me no more I keep forgetting you don't want me no more I keep forgetting about those heartbreaking nights Ant those heartbreaking things that you said Though it's plain as can be You're finished with me I can't believe our love is dead Though I know in my heart We've drifted apart I just can't get it through my head I keep forgetting you don't love me no more I keep forgetting you don't love me no more I keep forgetting you don't love me no more But these stupid old feet Just head for your street Like they've done so many times before And this stubborn old fist At the end of my wrist Keeps knocking on your front door I keep forgetting you don't love me no more I keep forgetting you don't love me no more Oh, I keep forgetting you don't love me no more, oh I keep forgetting I keep forgetting I keep forgetting |

I'm going downstairs to be a poet
Got a great idea: gonna write a sonnet A verse or two of fearless prose A priceless quip to gild the rose I'll make my fortune overnight My work will set the world alight Just a line is all I need Just a thought to sow the seed Just a word to start me out. The rest will come without a doubt I'm going downstairs to write a book Got a great idea's gonna really cook A rattling good yarn with an ironic twist A riveting ending that's not to be missed Makesure the presses are ready to steam This book is a scorcher, a publisher's dream Just the first part's all I need The rest will come with lightning speed Just a line to set the stage. My pen will dance across the page I'm going downstairs to write a play Got a great idea gonna make it pay This serious drama won't be understood The critics will love it and say that it's good "at last a new writer, a true nouvelle vague" In no time at all I'll be king of the stage Just a story's all I need. Just a thought to sow the seed Just a line to start me out . The rest will come without a doubt |

Typewriter torment, dreadful disease
Caught it the first day I touched the keys You wear down your fingers and churn out your pap It eats up your life like a dose of the clap Typewriter torment it tortures me still If only my doctor could see that I'm ill Typewriter fever gives birth to a flood It sweeps through your body and curdles your blood You curse and discurse but you're damned for all time The moment your fingers give birth to a rhyme Typewriter fever it harries me still If only my doctor would give me a pill Typewriter fever I'm worn to a stub I've dumped my Thesaurus and pulled out the plug I'm rending my ribbon and bending my spool Don't bother rewinding: I'm done with it all But why can't my doctor just say that I'm ill? Typewriter fever is paying his bill. Typewriter fever it harries me still If only my doctor would give me a pill |
