    The Magic That You Show

    Oh Little Darling Don't You Know

    That The Night Is Beautiful And Yellow, Yellow

    And The Light Of The Night Fell On Me

  3. Old intuition -- on your dock we're fishin'

    Come on now, give us a grade

    A for effort, and a B for delivery

    C for devotion when the world starts encroaching on your plans

    Where is the savoir, where is the savoir -- he's not here right now

    Where is the savoir, where is the savoir-faire?

     

    Embassy row -- the fumes they lay low

    On lanes that are wide -- where the limousines glide

    On the wrought-iron gates and the bone china plates

    And don't forget your manners where the anthems play

     

    In a netherworld of foreign feeds

    In a netherworld of foreign feeds

    In a netherworld of foreign feeds

    I'm gonna take the crown, I'm gonna take the crown

    I'm gonna take the crown, I'm gonna take a crown

     

    Maids, they are frisked -- and asses are kissed

    I needed a visa -- I bought off a geezer

    Political favors could make you a savior

    In an open corner where the news is late

     

    In a netherworld of foreign feeds

    In a netherworld of foreign feeds

    In a netherworld of foreign feeds

    I'm gonna take the crown, I'm gonna take the crown

    I'm gonna take a crown, I'm gonna take a crown

     

    I need to get born, I need to get dead

    I'm sick of the forms, I'm sick of being misread

    By men in dashikis and their leftist weeklies

    Colonized wrath -- their shining new path

    The converted castle of moorish design

    If you want to stay the weekend, well, we wouldn't mind

    The plots they are hatching, the surface is scratching

    In an open corner where the news is late

     

    In a netherland of foreign beads

    In a netherland of foreign beads

    In a netherland of foreign beads

    I'm gonna take you down, I'm gonna take the crown

    I'm gonna take the crown, I'm gonna take the crown

    I'm gonna take the crown, I'm gonna take the crown

    I'm gonna take the crown, I'm gonna take the crown

  4. Hour after hour in an ivory tower

    A thousand and nothings to do

    Spending the day in a colourful way

    Blue upon blue upon blue

    Psychadelicatessen

    Fricasse chorus girls thigh

    Toffee and mackeral gateau

    Pineapple pie in the sky

    See how the good times roll

    See how the good times roll

    See how the good times roll away

    See how the good times roll

    See how the good times roll

    See how the good times roll away

     

    Like ice in a drink

    invisible ink

    or dreams in the cold light of day

    The children of rock 'n roll

    never grow old

    They just fade away

    Drifting along on a cotton wool cloud

    dreaming of drum majorettes

    Swastika nightingales croon tongue in cheek

    an elephant never forgets

     

    See how the good times roll

    See how the good times roll

    See how the good times roll away

    See how the good times roll

    See how the good times roll

    See how the good times roll away

  5. candy told me nothing really matters anymore

    when I ask her what she means, she says I oughtta know

     

    candy says she's made arrangements

    for me in the sand

    candy says she wants me with her

    down in candyland

     

    candy says she wonders why we try

    I couldn't think of what to say

    I hadn't already replied

    candy says I'd like it where she is

    she says it's an opportunity I don't want to miss

     

    candy says she's made arrangements

    for me in the sand

    candy says she wants me with her

    down in candyland

    candy says she wants me with her

    down in candyland

     

    candy asked me if she died

    if I could go on

    of course I said I couldn't

    and of course we knew that's wrong

    but candy, I said, candy no you can't do that to me

    because you love me way too much

    for you to ever leave

     

    candy says she's made arrangements

    for me in the sand

    candy says she wants me with her

    down in candyland

     

    candy says she's made arrangements

  6. Working up a fever in a one-horse town

    was a Jockey by the name of Joe

    He didn't have a lot of you might call luck

    but he had a lot of get up and go

    Get up and go

    Get up and go

    Get up and go back home

    Get up and go

    Get up and go

    Get up and go back home

     

    Tall in the saddle in a one-horse town

    Joey knew someday he'd hit the road

    He traded with a dealer for a pick-up truck

    And went looking for a medium load

     

    Get up and go

    Get up and go

    Get up and go back home

    Get up and go

    Get up and go

    Get up and go back home

     

    Cruising down the highway doing sixty-five

    in the middle of the double white line

    His foot down on the gas and his head in the clouds

    He didn't see the one-way sign

     

    Get up and go

    Get up and go

    Get up and go back home

    Get up and go

    Get up and go

    Get up and go back home

  7. I grew up in the country

    beside a chicken shack

    so I left for the city

    and I didn't look back

    Now I'm living in hope

    Living in hope

    Yes, I'm living in hope

    Living in hope

    Walkin 'round the city

    feeling all alone

    nobody told me

    the streets are paved with stone

    But I'm living in hope

    Yes, I'm living in hope

    I'm living in hope

    I'm living in hope

     

    Can't find my feet or a friendly face

    In this god foresaken town

    Nobody stops to lend a hand

    unless they want to put you down

     

    Got no woman

    or a steady job

    Feeling like a cowboy

    and looking like a slob

    But I'm living in hope

    Living in hope

    Yes, I'm living in hope

    I'm living in hope

     

    Nothing in my pocket

    Nowhere to go

    Looking for a handout

    But no one wants to know

    But I'm living in hope

    Living in hope

    Yes, I'm living in hope

    Living in hope

     

    I'm living in hope

    Living in hope

    Yes, I'm living in hope

    Living in hope

  8. isn't Ann Rule the woman who murdered her mother with her friend and was the inspiration for Heavenly Creatures?

     

    no. she never murdered anyone. she wrote the book about Ted Bundy, 'The Stranger Beside Me'. she worked with him at a volunteer crisis help line before he was known to be a serial killer.

    That night Cutie called a cab, uh huh huh

    She went out on the town

    Knowin' it would make her lover frown

    (Death-cab for Cutie)

    (Death-cab for Cutie)

    Someone's gonna make you pay your fare

     

    The cab was racin' through the night, mm mm mm

    (baby don't do it)

    His eyes in the mirror, keepin' Cutie in sight, uh huh huh

    (baby don't do it)

    When he saw Cutie, it gave him a thrill

    Don't you know, baby curves can kill

    (Death-cab for Cutie)

    (Death-cab for Cutie)

    Someone's gonna make you pay your fare

     

    Cutie, don't you play with fate

    If you go out on this date

    His heart will turn to stone

  13. Doubleback Alley

     

    People were proud in Doubleback Alley

    Neighbors were loud, but ever so pally

    People would shout, joking about

    The smoke and the soot, Mother would put

    The milk bottles out

     

    We had a good time in Doubleback Alley

    With fences to climb, and Father O'Malley

    To clip your ear, and steer you clear

    Of the funny man in the ice cream van

    Who talked so queer

     

    Doubleback Alley takes me back and in my mind I see

    Happy, smiling faces if I flog my memory

     

    Plenty to do in Doubleback Alley

    Play peek-a-boo with Saccharine Sally

    Bouncing a ball against a wall

    Showing her drawers, "You come indoors!"

    Her dad would call

     

    (Aaaaaah)

    (La la la laaaaaa)

    (Laaaaaa)

    (La la la laaaaaa)

     

    Doubleback Alley takes me back

    And in my mind I see

    Happy, smiling faces if I flog my memory

     

    Stinking of gin in Doubleback Alley

    Grinning a grin in Doubleback Alley

    Kick a dustbin, bingo to win

    Windows to break, Mother would take

    The milk bottles in

     

    Doubleback Alley takes me back

    And in my mind I see

    Happy, smiling faces if I flog my memory

     

    Doubleback Alley takes me back

    And in my mind I see

    Happy, smiling faces if I flog my memory
