Planet in the Ocean : Drink Me

Motorbike To Heaven (Kennedy) 4.12

I'm gonna drive my motorbike to heaven
I'm gonna slice a lemon in two
And when the charcoal's burning bright, we'll be there, in heaven
I'm gonna fly my motorbike to you
I don't know why, but I've got a good idea
That we'll meet again some day, it makes me cry
There's a memory of you standing in the woods
And then they sigh, cos they've got a good idea
That my hair is full of ferns

I'm gonna shine my hair in blooms because my mind is full of you
I think I'm gonna dust my room cos there's a notice in my head
I'm gonna shine my bike instead cos that's what the notice said

I'm gonna drive my motorbike to heaven
I'm gonna slice a lemon in two
And when the charcoal's burning bright, we'll be there, in heaven
I'm gonna fly my motorbike to you
I don't know why, but I've got a good idea
That we'll meet again some day, it makes me cry
You're standing on a yacht and I don't know what to say
I dreamt last night, we were playing kiss and tell
Then I watched you fly away

Well there's a diamond in my car and it's shining like a star
I feel I'm coming home to you cos there's a message in my soup
And it could be like yesterday I wish you'd never gone away

I don't know why, but I've got a good idea
That we'll meet again some day
It makes me cry, there's a memory of you
Standing in the woods and then they sigh
Cos they've got a good idea that my hair is full of ferns

I'm gonna shine my hair in blooms because my mind is full of you
I think I'm gonna dust my room cos there's a notice in my head
I'm gonna shine my bike instead cos that's what the notice said

Drink The Elixir (Wakeman) 4.05

The ground is getting frosty
Then small drops of mint on my scarf
My lifespan is an unknown
I've never strayed far from the path

I'll wrap myself in bandages
And leopard skin and bandages
And nobody will bother me
I'll wrap myself in bandages
Till it gets ridiculous
And nobody will bother me

Drink the elixir, elixir...
Drink the elixir
Drink the elixir, elixir...
Drink the elixir

With Saturn on the stopwatch
There's hope for me yet on this Earth
But Venus had an off day
A century's gone by since my birth

Drink the elixir, elixir...
Drink the elixir
Drink the elixir, elixir...
Drink the elixir

Granite Statue (Kennedy) 3.16

Sitting in a garden with a face like a granite statue
I am winter solstice waiting like a granite statue

Just like a granite statue
I will come when the weather's fine
Just like a granite statue
I wanna know what's on your mind

Every single time that I come here
I can't tell you what I feel
I am so polite to you and courteous
I know that it's not real
I long to grab a hold of you a
And take you in my arms tonight
But when I feel I'm going to m
My courage flies away and I turn cold

Just like a granite statue
I will come when the weather's fine
Just like a granite statue
I wanna know what's on your mind
Just like a granite statue
Statue, is that you, statue

Just like a granite statue
I will come when the weather's fine
Just like a granite statue
I wanna know what's on your mind
Just like a granite statue
I will come when the weather's fine
But I'm a granite statue
And I know you'll not ever be mine
Just like a granite statue
Statue, is that you, statue
Statue, is that you, statue
Statue, is that you, statue
Statue

Machine of Menace (van der Vlugt) 3.26

I'm versatile, removable
I'm reversible, so edible
I'm the Machine of Menace

You put me in your place
So go on, the pleasure's mine
I gotta see your face
You put me in your place
So go on, I gotta see your face

I'm versatile, I'm flexible
I'm physical, quite murderous
I'm the Machine of Menace

You put me in your place
So go on, the pleasure's mine
I gotta see your face
You put me in your place
So go on, I gotta see your face
Show me your face, I gotta see your face
Cos you put me in your place
So go on, the pleasure's mine
I gotta see your face

Incurable, rememberable
I'm increasable, in fact delectable
Machine of Menace

Well you put me right in your place
So go on, the pleasure's mine
I gotta see your face
You put me in your place
So go on, I gotta see your face
Show me your face, I gotta see your face
Cos you put me in your place
So go on, the pleasure's mine
I gotta see your face

Overhear Me (Wakeman) 2.37

The Bechstein was our lifeline
We could see our faces in the shine
And know it wasn't over

You never said you loved me
Even when we crowded out
The children from the sofa

I hope you overhear me
I hope you overhear me
When I'm uttering my name for you
I hope you over hear me
I hope you over hear me
When I'm uttering my name for you

In case collected copies of The Times
Get faded before ninety-nine
The trunk will stay locked shut

In the garden, the ritual
Was acted out under every tree
Shame my favorite scenes were cut

I hope you overhear me
I hope you overhear me
When I'm uttering my name for you
I hope you over hear me
I hope you over hear me
When I'm uttering my name for you

I hope you overhear me
I hope you overhear me
I hope you over hear me

Shepherds' Isle (Kennedy) 2.57

Don't take me there tonight
To the Shepherds' Isle
They say there's people walking round
In towelling dressing gowns
Awaiting trial

I don't want to go, I don't need to know
I don't want to go, a-ha
I don't want to go, I said I don't need to know
I don't want to go, a-ha

The hounds hunt in fives
Gnashing teeth will eat you alive
So board this boat with me
Why so shaky, can't you see?

I don't want to go, I don't need to know
I don't want to go, a-ha
I don't want to go, I said I don't need to know
I don't want to go, a-ha

Come all ye faithfull
Tractor salesmen from hell
And when we're walking, walking
We know we don't walk too well
I feel like crumbling buildings
With dust on the windowsills
It's such a mindless island
I feel like paying boredom bills
This boredom really kills

I don't want to go, I don't need to know
I don't want to go, a-ha
I don't want to go, I said I don't need to know
I don't want to go, a-ha

Muscleman (van der Vlugt) 3.48

He's a muscleman, such a muscleman
Muscle up to him, he'll let you rub his tan
He's a muscleman, such a muscleman
Muscle in with him, he'll let you hold his hand

I'm now an apple, that suits me fine
And I'm out of line, but we'll all be fine
And now I'm knackered, and feeling fine
But I'm not even worth a dime
And that suits me fine, and that suits me fine

He's a muscleman, such a muscleman
Muscle up to him, he'll let you rub his tan
He's a muscleman, such a muscleman
Muscle in with him, he'll let you hold his hand
He's a muscleman, such a muscleman
He's a muscleman, yeah, he's my muscleman

I'm not an apple in a line
I'm that way inclined, for God's sake be mine
And please don't go blind, cos I've got this apple
And it needs a habit, and now I'm out of time
But you're a friend of mine, and we'll both be fine
and not out of line, again you'll be mine
And that suits me fine, yeah that suits me fine

He's a muscleman, he's a muscleman
He's a muscleman, he's my muscleman

Your Ma (van der Vlugt) 3.16

I've got an itch that I can't fix
I'm gonna get your mother to mix me a drink
Just think...
she takes my hand to put it up her skirt
I'll call you up and dish the dirt on her
So it doesn't reoccurr

Your Ma will do it, your Ma will do it
Your Ma will do it, your Ma will do it

I don't know where to hide
Before I know it her hand's inside
I know the damage that she can do
With her hands untied
I try to keep her on hubbie's work
But if I don't stop, she'll think I'm a jerk
A jerk

Your Ma will do it, your Ma will do it
Your Ma will do it, your Ma will do it
Your Ma will do it, your Ma will do it
Your Ma will do it, your Ma Ma Ma Ma will do it

Go on!
Upper grade, upper grade...

I've got a problem with someone's mum
But she relieves me of my daily humdrum
And while I stand there taking off her dress
I guess I'm in a mess
Cos she wants a boy with a teenage drive
To knock the socks off his teenage life
And then I remember:
She's your daddy's wife!

Your Ma will do it, your Ma will do it
Your Ma will do it, your Ma will do it
Your Ma will do it, your Ma will do it
Your Ma will do it, your Ma Ma Ma Ma will do it

Warmth of the Hearth (Kennedy) 3.28

Say it's not so, I can't even chant in the dark
I'm so alone
I'm coming home
I need the warmth of the hearth
the antique phone

Here comes the hearth, we're almost there, baby
I'm on the path, missing you already
Here comes the hearth, we're almost there, baby
On the path

Say it's not so
Many's the dog that we've sent on the way
Down below
I'm coming home
I need the warmth of the hearth
On my bones

Here comes the hearth, we're almost there, baby
I'm on the path, missing you already
Here comes the hearth, we're almost there, baby
On the path

Nothing Happens (Kennedy) 3.27

Waiting upstate in the pines, there's a man
Whose arms are twisted round the vines, while he can
Looking out for her to show, but she's late
The sound of crickets all around, in the heat

In the heat
They say you'll sell your body to the heat
They say you'll see your body to the heat

So he takes his muslin bag to the well
Runs his fingers through his hair, he's unwell
Then the sea comes into view and he moves downhill
Meets his car down by the bay, drives away

In the heat
They say you'll sell your body to the heat
They say you'll see your body to the heat

Come on now - gotta take it in your stride
Come on now - gotta take it in your stride
Come on now - gotta take it in your stride
Well a fugitive can run but he can't hide

Nothing happens in the town, nothing moves
A lone mosquito settles down, on a shoe

In the heat
They say you'll sell your body to the heat
They say you'll see your body to the heat
They say you'll sell your body to the heat
They say you'll see your body to the heat
They say you'll sell your body to the heat
They say you'll see your body to the heat
They say you'll...

No.1's Cooking (van der Vlugt) 3.28

Everyone is twisted
Except the girl with the funny tattoo on her ankle
Funny tatto on her knee
(I wish it was me)
Money and pleasure make me tick
Enough to make you sick
She's a modern muse with a mixed up bruise

Whichever way you're looking
No.1's the one that's cooking
Cooking, cooking, cooking, cooking

But we've all got our place
This planet's got its funny ways
We just have a good time
(They have a bad time)
It's just awful doing nothing
When everything's so fine
Treading on a fragile line
We can't ignore the suffering
(But we do)

And when the leaves turn brown
I hope I've still got my feet on the ground
It's too easy to feel guilty
Basically it's gotta be said
That anyone with a pretty head
Could save the world instead
And I'm a guilty, girlish thing
But charity makes my ego ring

Whichever way you're looking
No.1's the one that's cooking
Cooking, cooking, cooking, cooking
Whichever way you're looking
No.1's the one that's cooking, cooking, cooking
Cooking, cooking, cooking, cooking
Whichever way you're looking
No.1's the one that's cooking
Cooking, cooking, cooking, cooking...

And all that is just twisted

A Man with a Box (Kennedy) 3.32

In the 1920s, a man with a box came to stay
In the 1930s, the man with a box went away
In the 1940s, a man with a box went beserk
In the 1950s, the man with a box left for work

A man with a box could be loving and he knows it
But a man with a box don't work that way
A man with a box could be loving if he tried it
But his rainclouds are permanently grey

In the 1960s, a man with a box opened up
In the 1970s, the man with a box drained his cup
In the 1980s, a man with a box came along
In the 1990s, a man with a box wrote this song

A man with a box could be loving and he knows it
But a man with a box don't work that way
A man with a box could be loving if he tried it
But his rainclouds are permanently grey

A man with a box made a train escape from Euston
While is butterflies went wild in the woods
The police report stated that every year in Margate
The dasies grew a different shade of brown

Man.... man, man, man
Man.... man, man, man
Man.... man, man, man
Man.... man, man, man

Insomnia (Wakeman) 3.17

Some say I'm ill, sick as a parrot, bone chilled
How does my face look today?
Don a smart cane in a dandy way
My head is full, I cannot think
Slip downstairs for a secret lemonade drink
Lemonade drink

Sleep cures everything
Sleep cures, if it's deep enough
Sleep cures everything but insomnia
Insomnia

Money - a modern factor
A quick rub-down or a chiropractor
I kid you, you kid me, take a close look at the family tree
Sex dreams, nightmares, wake me up
To the fact that nobody cares, nobody cares

Sleep cures everything
Sleep cures, if it's deep enough
Sleep cures everything but insomnia
Insomnia

I go out like a light, clutch the heart of the night
I go out like a light, clutch the heart of the night

Yoga turns, watering plants, even a flapping limb dance
Anything but the job in hand
Got to lift my head clean out of the sand
Out of the sand

Sleep cures everything
Sleep cures, if it's deep enough
Sleep cures everything but insomnia
Insomnia
