Flying Monkeys

Never saw the gas light in your eyes
(Thought we were serious)
Broken promises and lies
(Was I delirious?)
Couldn’t see the red flags on the mast
(Thought we were beautiful)
Rewrite the now, invent the past
(Was I too dutiful?)
So high
In the sky
I spy
With my little eye
Get your flying monkeys out of my tree
They’re telling false history
Get your flying monkeys out of my tree
You never said what I said that you said
you don’t care about my proof
It don’t matter, it’s the truth
You’re gonna blameshift
Till I don’t care anymore
So high
In the sky
I spy
With my eye
Get your flying monkeys out of my tree
They’re telling false history
Get your flying monkeys out of my tree
Get your flying monkeys out of my tree
You know they’ve got it in for me
Get your flying monkeys out of my tree

Last Coranto

See me
At the Holt Hotel
Landlady
Remembers me well
Will not harm you
I’ll let you be
Won’t you dance
One last Coranto with me?
Cherish the thief
Of Hounslow Heath
Rowley knows
Who I am
Just an amorous businessman
Give up your diamonds
Hand me your pearls
Mon pere never said
“That’s no way to treat girls”
Make the men stand
And the ladies to fall
Tyburn’s old glory
Has fallen so far
Ma Maberley knew me
In the Chandos Street bar
So I’ll see you
At the Tangier Tavern
I’m just a flageolet player
From far out of town
We could make music together
So why shoot you down
See me
At the Hole in the Wall
Landlady
Remembers it all
Give up your diamonds
Hand me your pearls
Mon mere always said
“That’s no way to meet girls”
Make the men stand
And the ladies to fall
Tyburn’s old glory
Has fallen so far
Ma Maberley knew me
In the Chandos Street bar
So I’ll see you
At the Tangier Tavern

Ways

Can you hear them talking?
They got fat to chew
Verily from you
Can you feel them looking?
Stickers on my head,
Everybody read
I’m kicking a ball against the wall
The unkindest cut of all
Can you see you pushing
Me out of the door
No-one ever saw
Riding high & riding low
These are certain ways to know
Every record has a B-side
2nd class ticket on the same ride
Turning tables never turned the tide
On the sea of jealousy
I’m kicking a ball against the wall
The unkindest cut of all
Can you smell my cooking
Hanging in the hall?
Could’ve had it all
Fair is foul and foul is fair
On the road to anywhere

Told no lies
Baby cuts me down to size
Thermidor
Still left from the night before
Friends may tell
My squeeze she fits me well
Inflatable
Don’t mean undateable
When I say
you always go down
They think that means
I’m a lucky man
Blue to grey
They all came around and
Shot to kill my master plan
Not a word
Seen but never heard
One way road
I can take the load
Too shy
No glimmer in the eye
Blown my last
My baby got old so fast
Never mine
Here comes the summer line
Oh so coy
Never talk back
It’s not that I won’t let you say
Steal my joy
Stay away from the tacks
Just one prick and you’ll fly away
Too shy
No glimmer in the eye
Not a word
Seen but never heard
One way road
You don’t let it take the load
