An oyster was a'travelling
Along the ocean road;
He'd been some time preparing,
And now he'd left the fold.

He was sick of being oysterized,
And he wanted to explode, to explode.
Ooh la, ooh la, ooh la, ooh la,
La la la la la la la la.

He saw a pretty flying fish
And said if i could have one wish
I'd change into a flying fish,
And then i would be happy, yes i would.
Ooh la, ooh la, ooh la, ooh la,
La la la la la la la la.

The flying fish came down to see
Just who had made this plea;
And seeing the poor oyster,
Said this cannot be.
An oyster has to stay inside,
And a flying fish must flee, all the time.
Ooh la, ooh la, ooh la, ooh la,
La la la la la la la la.

As the oyster turned to go away,
The flying fish was heard to say,
"if i could find a place to stay,
I know i would be happy, yes i would."
Ooh la, ooh la, ooh la, ooh la,
La la la la la la la la.

Where do i go from here, and is it far?
Why was i born with a wish to touch a star?
Why can't i leave things alone, and as they are?

Ooh, baby, can you take the pain,
I'm hurting you once again;
I know you think i'm insane (maybe i am)

Sometimes i'm bad to you, baby sometimes i'm mean.
I'm not malicious, but i don't want to live in a dream;
I only push when i think we should change the scene.
Know what i mean?
I know i'm making you sad
My desperation is bad
Trying to find what i had, but it's gone

Ooh, baby, can you take the pain,
I'm hurting you once again;
I know you think i'm insane (maybe i am)

Who am i, who am i, baby tell me who are you?
Are you adventurous, and think of what we've got to do;
It's really scary what other people's rules can do to you..
I know i'm causing you pain,
Wish i knew how to explain;
Why i stay out in the rain.

She's got a feeling for the spring
I've got another song to sing

Girl on a swing
Girl on a swing
Girl on a swing,
0n a swing
Such a pretty thing

She's not a victim of despair
She's just a feeling in the air

Girl on a swing
Girl on a swing
Girl on a swing,
0n a swing
Such a pretty thing

She sways, silently she sings
Her song gives my body wings

Girl on a swing
Girl on a swing
Girl on a swing,
0n a swing
Such a pretty thing

Have you seen miss clarietta
Riding round on her lambretta
On the mountainside
Looking out for friendly faces
Peering out of mountain places
Waiting for a ride
She's the queen of mountain magic, everybody knows
And late at night she sings with gentleness
Becoming to a rose
Please send her a great big shining star
To show her where you are
Please give her the love you've stored away
Vou cannot lose today

If you meet her in the moonlight
Don't be shy and don't be uptight
She might disappear
If she thinks you want to get her
Stop her, riding her lambretta
She won't let you near
She s the queen of mountain flowers
You can love them too
But if you pick her lovely flowers
How can they grow for you
Please send her a great big shining star
To show her where you are
Please give her the love you've stored away
You cannot lose today
Two, three, four,
I like it

Everything you do, is true
As long as you believe it;
And everything you say, is play,
And that's how you should treat it.

And everyone is high,
Until there's something makes them low;
That's when you should stay
That's not the time to go....
That's when you should stay,
And let your love just flow.

There was moonlight and laughter
That danced on the sands
And bloodstained pianos
Are played without hands

Such a promising music
Sweet whispers and dreams
From a travelling window,
The salesman who screamed.

Moonlight, saturday night
It's now or never
Oh play stormy weather,
For me, for me.

I lived in the flower shop
Called "love is so sweet!"
And i get all my kicks
From the customers' feet.

Well, i'm just a stranger,
None stranger than i.
My head in the quicksand
My feet in the sky.

I was carefully crazy
When playing the game.
'cause business is business
And i'm not to blame.

Climb on my back
It's a wet afternoon ;
A bottle of booze,
A bit of a tune to sing;
Goodbye, everything;
Goodbye, everything....

Today, the town seems like a tomb;
Everybody's locked up in his room;
Making love, or taking love--who cares?

If you take a walk out in the street,
Chances are there's someone that you'll meet.
If it's someone you know
You'll say hello, and good-bye.

Today's the very first day of the spring;
A little girl's playing on her swing.
She doesn't know that a brand new show begins.

Now you come and tell me that you're sad;
But you never talk. about it when you're glad;
You criticise, and you shut your eyes...
That's too bad.

What do you know about nothing people?
You sell yourself so you can buy more
What do you care about bluffing people?
Does it make you want to try more?

We know what you mean
We know what you've seen
We understand

What do you care about bluffing people
Throwing sparrows from the treetops
What do you care about nothing people?
When you're waiting at the bus stop

I'm very glad to hear that
We understand the sky will be visible soon
We understand the sky will be visible soon

Soon soon soon you will be obliged to try
Soon soon soon to reach your moon and die

What do you care about nothing people?
You sell yourself so you can buy more
What do you care about nothing people?
And does it make you want to try more?

It's very nice to know

Everybody sing now
An optimistic future

You say you like my shirt
My shirt
You say you like my hat
My hat
Oh but you never say you like me
Or something nice like that
What about me?
What about me?
What about me?
What about me?
Is it just an envelope that you can see?

It's getting crazier in every way;
We've got the same kind of idiots as yesterday.
They were chosen by more idiots
They're one of a kind
They'll steal your life,
But they'll never get mine
Cause i'm gonna get mine
Gonna get mine
Gonna get mine
Gonna get mine!

I'm sick and tired of spending all of my years
Living under the thumbs of those old racketeers.
Power and money - more than life everytime.
They can use your life,
But they'll never get mine.
'cause i'm gonna get mine
Gonna get mine
Gonna get mine
Gonna get mine!

Dead people like to kill..
It's their one remaining thrill.

A lot of things can happen
When you're walking down the street
But it never fails to amaze me
When people that i meet
Say, well i'll see you later..
I just answer how?
How will you see me later
When you can't see me now?
Hulloooo

When it comes to discussing bananas,
I am moved to extravagant praise;
For the banana is firm and substantial,
And may be used in a number of ways.

With more presence than leeks or asparagus,
And more charm than the brusque bamboo;
The banana has style and a curious smile,
Perceptible only to few.

The banana is not a romantic,
In the popular sense of the thing;
Approach it without care or caution,
And you trip on its slippery skin.

So be aware of the gallant banana,
When your tolerance seems to be thin;
And instead of the boot or the bullet,
Just put that banana in....

I'm an orible orange
Covered in chemical spray.
I'm absolutely nasty
That's why i have to say
That i'm an orible orange
(he's an orible orange)
I'm an orible orange
(he's an orible orange)
I'm an orible orange
(he's an orible orange)
And you shouldn't eat me.

I'm a soggy white sandwich
Made from bleached white bread.
I'm absolutely nutrition-less and useless,
That's why it has to be said
That i'm a soggy white sandwich
(he's a soggy white sandwich), etc.

I'm a chemical kipper,
Coloured with poisonous red dye.
I wish i were a beautiful bloater
But next to a pat of rancid butter i lie.
I'm a chemical kipper, etc.

I'm a lamentable lentil
Lamentablentablentablentable lentil.
I'm a lamentable lentil, etc...

I'm a miserable maggot,
I live in poisoned fruit.
I always have bad tummy aches,
And very often puke--blechgh!
I'm a miserable maggot
Such a miserable maggot.
Fruit ain't what it used to be.
I'm a miserable maggot, etc...

I'm an unhappy apple
Covered in chemical dust
I'm absolutely toxic
So i warn you all i must
I'm an unhappy apple, etc.

...you shouldn't eat me.

Goodnight, sleep tight
You're going to see who you want to see
In dreamland;
Goodnight, sleep tight
You're going to be who you want to be
In dreamland.

Blushing faces, crazy places,
Paper chases, human races
Magical.

Falling, flying, leaping, lying,
Splashing, crashing, life is flashing
Magical
You're in dreamland....

Goodnight, sleep tight
You're going to see who you are when
You're in dreamland.

Blushing faces, crazy places,
Paper chases, human races

Splashing, crashing, life is flashing
Magical
You're in dreamland....

Nothing positive can come out of this
Said madame butterfly with her last kiss;
And what you never had, you won't really miss
And nothing really matters, no not even this.

Alright, i said, i know
All things must change;
And what was familiar now seems strange, yeah
. back on the streets, i move from town to town
But i don't know where, or why i go..
Where is high, where is low;
Where is up, and where is down;
I just don't know, i just don't know.

I wish i could fall
Wish i could fall, fall in love;
But i'm, i'm not at all
I'm not at all in love....

My oh my oh my
Do you really have to cry?
Crying like a summer rain
Lady let me ease your pain.
Why oh why oh why
Don't you spread your winds and fly?
Flying like an autumn wind
Lady did you lose a friend?

Don't be sad and down
Take another look around
Maybe what you've lost you've found.

Don't be sad and down
Take another look around
Maybe what you've lost you've found

On a railway train to anywhere,
Something happened finally.
The driver said he saw no station
And we were riding aimlessly.

The train was filled with sleeping passengers,
Going nowhere for the ride;
Spoken whispers filled the carriages
No one cared to look outside.

Conversation aimed at anyone
Bouncing questions off the wall;
Except for two excited children.
Burning caterpillars in the hall.

All at once, i got quite frightened..
Standing up, i gave a shout!
"i see a station just in front of me ,
Stop this train and let me out!"

The driver smiled and shook his head for me,
"this train don't stop for anyone.
And, if you want to leave this railway line,
You'll have to jump off on your own.

Someone came and gave me sandwiches,
Saying that i looked unwell.
He took my pulse and he gave it back to me,
And then he hit me with his bell.

He made a speech to all the passengers,
He said "i've been a place today;
And anyone who'd care to come with me..
Step outside and walk this way."

Inside the seats were warm and comfortable,
Outside the train was wild and strange.
I said, "yes, sir, i'd like to come with you,
It's really time i made a change."

I left my seat and walked up front with him,
And he began to push the door.
I looked outside, but it nearly blinded me..
I'd never seen such light before.

Listen to me, lovely;
Shake our relations, hip;
You make such sweet wine
I want to take a sip.

Take me to tahiti
Take me on your plane;
When i reach tahiti,
I'll understand the game.

Eat your crazy banana
Disappear from sight;
I'll be right behind you,
Waiting for a bite.

Take me to tahiti.
I want to change my plane
If i don't reach tahiti

I'm the only one to blame.
Let's go dancing in darkness
They say it's really wild.
It's called the bright fandango,
Just ask any child.
They'll take you to tahiti
They seem to have the style.

Take me to tahiti.
I want to change my plane
If i don't reach tahiti
I'm the only one to blame
.

Champagne and valium - half-hearted kisses;
Lord, won't you tell me
What kind of breakfast this is.
God said, cool it, boy, you've sure got a nerve..
You've already had much more than you deserve.
Shut your mouth, and go home, boy.. .

Looks like i'm leaving, leaving again;
Same old ticket, babe, same old train.
No destination, but who ever knows
Just where it is that anyone goes..
Tell me where they all go to.

Oh, doctor, doctor, can you feel my pain?
Doctor said, "shit man, not you again!"
Just how many times do i have to explain:
There ain't no medicine
That'll take you back again
To where you were again.
To where you were, before, boy.

It's what you feel
It's not what you think
Can't taste no wine
If you don't drink.
You don't know how
And you sure don't know why.
You're just like the rest
And all you can do is try
Try to catch hold of that dream, boy....

Champagne and valium - half-hearted kisses;
Lord, won't you tell me
What kind of breakfast this is.
God said, cool it, boy, you've sure got a nerve..
You've already had much more than you deserve.

Some people sent me a circular letter
Explaining how their ideas were better
And asking me to join their gang
They said they were select
So many people they reject
I read it carefully to give them a chance
Looked like instructions for a new kind of dance
With mystical innuendos
Most confusing
But quite amusing
So many different kinds of club to join
So many versions of the same old coin
Do what you like with your convictions
I believe them all
But if i don't t answer when you call
Guess i'll be up against that wall again and again
Here comes that postman again
Another invitation
Uh, this ones really cute
It says

Who's the one with the grin on his face
Says he's gonna save the human race
He laughs a lot as he climbs to fame
What's his name

Guru banana

That's me and i'll show you the light
I've got the answers and they're all right
I'm divine and you can be the same
What's my name

Guru banana
Guru banana
Guru banana
Oh you rude banana
What's my name
Guru banana

Now gather round and hear my song
If you think your life is going wrong
Come to me and i'll take the blame
Just call my name

Guru banana
Grab your partners swing around
Dance along to my different sound
You think it's new but it's just the same
Now sock it to me once again guru banana. guru banana
Take us to nirvana you know you can you're our man
Whose the one with the grin on his face
Says he's gonna save the human race
You're gonna take us to nirvana
We hope you can
You're our man
Guru banana, guru banana
Take us to nirvana
You know you can
Grab your partners swing them round
Dance along to my different sound
I'm a guru
Guru banana

Hey, mister, would you like my sister
Her name is juanita,
I think. you'd like to meet her.
She's a little bit risky,
Drinking always whiskey.
But she's really a tiger
Take you right inside her.

Hey, mister, got another sister
Her name is dolores
She likes pretty colores;
She's a little bit silly,
Eating always chili;

But she's very sexy,
Take her home in a taxi.

Hey, juanita, juanita banana
Hey, juanita, would you hold my banana;
I'd like it now, i don't mean manana.

Hey, brother, what about my mother
She's only just forty
She's especially naughty.
She knows a lot a tricks,
More than the younger chicks.
And if you don't like my mother,
I got a very nice brother.
