 HHHH  ey hey,  the clouds are whey,  there's straw for the donkeys
 H   H and the  innocents  can all  sleep     safely     all  sleep
 H  H safely.     my,  my     sun is pie     there's fodder for the
HH   cannons  and  the  guilty  ones  can  all  sleep        safely
all  sleep  safely.    and all the world is  football shaped,  it's
just for me to kick in space     and I can see, hear, smell, touch,
taste - and I've got     one, two, three, four, five senses working
overtime    trying to take this all in, I've got   one, two, three,
four, five senses working overtime   trying to taste the difference
'tween  the  lemons and limes       the pain and the  pleasure  and
the church bells softly chime.. . .
hey hey, night fights day,    there's food for the thinkers and the
innocents  can  all live  slowly     all live slowly     my, my the
sky will cry    jewels  for the  thirsty  and the  guilty one's can
all die    slowly     all die  slowly.     and  all  the  world  is
biscuit - shaped,    it's  just for me to feed my face    and I can
see,hear, smell, touch, taste- and I've got   one, two,three, four,
five  sense working overtime   trying to take this all in, I've got
one, two, three, four, five senses working overtime trying to taste
the  difference  'tween the  lemons and  limes    the pain and  the
pleasure  and the  church bells  softly  chime.. . .
and birds might fall from black  skies     and bullies  might  give
you  black  eyes     and  busses  might  skid  on black ice     but
to me  it's very very    beautiful (england's glory!)     beautiful
(a striking beauty!)    and  all  the  world is  football - shaped,
it's just for me to kick in space     and  I  can see, hear, smell,
touch, taste - and I've got     one, two, three, four, five  senses
working overtime trying to take this all in,I've got one,two,three,
four, five senses working overtime     try to tell the   difference
'tween  the  goods and crimes,     dirt  or  treasure  and  there's
one, two, three, four,five senses working overtime   trying to take
this all in, I've got   one, two, three, four, five  senses working
overtime trying to taste the difference 'tween the lemons and limes
the pain and the pleasure and the church bells softly chime.. .
