The Prisoners Cinema
Sensory deprivation
Years in isolation
No outside stimulation
Brings on hallucinations
Lost in the sand lands
A desert made for no man
Rattlesnake horizon
Carcases with flies on
But you see a shiny diner
With Cadillacs and shakes
No waitress could look finer
On a pair of roller skates
And it’s all so very near
And it’s all so very far
All are welcome here
At the prisoner’s cinema
Can you hear the air conditioning?
The drone is never ending
But one note for infinity
Can become a glorious symphony
Phantasmagorical imagination
Insanitys vibration
You should see the painting I did
On the inside of my eyelid
Staring at a page
For more than an age
Seeing hieroglyphics
And geometric shapes
And they’re all so very near
And they’re all so very far
All are welcome here
At the prisoner’s cinema
And it’s all so very near
And it’s all so very far
All are welcome here
At the prisoner’s cinema

Here Come the Good Times Again
Here come the good times again
You and me seen thick and thin
Yes, it’s true, we’re lovers
But we’re also friends
Here come the good times again
Here come the good times again
Lunacy waits around the bend
Run and tell the others
I found the rainbow’s end
Here come the good times again
I was digging a hole
You jumped right in
Then we couldn’t get out
Sometimes you can’t win
Day turned to night
Apprehension in your eyes
I squeeze your hand
I’m that kind of guy
Here come the good times again
Did you really think things were better then
We were under covers
I remember when…
Here come the good times again
One day we’ll be free
From anxiety…good times, good times
Here come the good times again
You and me seen thick and thin
Some of us are lovers
All of us are friends
Here come the good times again

Easy on the Eye

Easy on the Eye
Some girls are sweet and kind
They’re easy on the mind
This girl it must be said
Will go messing with your head
Her lips all ruby red
The same colour as her dress
With the hem turned up high
She doesn’t even have to try
She’s so easy…easy
Easy on the eye
Some girls just sit and stare (oo yeah)
Not sure that they’re all there
Other girls they talk a lot
Trying to hide what they haven’t got
Some girls are tough and strong
And its other girls that turn them on
You should see them when she walks by
All of you girls sing along with the guys
She’s so easy…easy
Easy on the eye
Now she’s going out with him
Even though he’s no oil painting
He is clever, he is smart
Made her laugh, won her heart
Soon she’ll be the blushing bride
And we will hear the choir sigh…
Her veil will fail to hide (She’s so easy… She’s so easy… Easy on the eye)
Beauty comes from deep inside (She’s so easy… She’s so easy… Easy on the eye)
Easy…easy
Easy on the eye

Look, No Hands!

Look, No Hands!
In the morning, we rose
The sun was levitating
Beyond the hollow hedge row
A skylark ascending
She said ‘Look, no hands’
She said ‘Look, no hands’
Nobody sees the puppeteer
Yet the puppets they all dance
Wooden hearts are broken
A child looks up and is visibly moved
Visibly moved by invisible motion
She said ‘Look, no hands’
She said ‘Look, no hands’
I saw a boy climb an Indian rope
(She saw a guy defy gravity)
Space and water float my boat
She said
She said
‘Look, no hands’
And when I saw the corner of her mouth
Turn up towards the sky
I knew right away
It was my turn to say
‘Look, no hands’
‘Look, no hands’ (space and water)
What’s that?
If I’m not mistaken…
It’s hard to tell from down here on the pavement
Whether or not it’s a weather balloon
I hope it’s not a weather balloon.

Rubber Man
Rubber Man, They call him the rubber man
There's no other man
Who's a better, wetter lover man
Bendy girl
A very friendly girl
Bendy, bendy girl
And she want's to befriend the lover man
Rubber rubber rubber rubber
Rubber rubber rubber rubber man
In the bendy bendy bendy bendy
Bendy bendy bendy bendy world
Kiss kiss kiss kiss kissy kiss kiss kiss lover man
Squiggy squiggy squiggy squiggy
Squiggy squiggy squiggy squiggy girl
When he's very hot
Slip into a mould
And he's firming up
As he's getting cold
Sucker blow
Delivering a sucker blow
What she don't know about a sucker blow
You don't need to know
Rubber rubber rubber rubber
Rubber rubber rubber rubber man
In the bendy bendy bendy bendy
Bendy bendy bendy bendy world
Kiss kiss kiss kiss kissy kiss kiss kiss lover man
Squiggy squiggy squiggy squiggy
Squiggy squiggy squiggy squiggy girl

I'm so Happy I Could Cry
I can find no words, yet there are so many
Why, the other day I ran into bad Penny
'said 'You got any words?'
But she didn't have any
Her lips were sealed around a tinny
She swung down low and she swung up high
She swayed like a fluffy white cloud in the sky
Yeah, she was elated and I asked her why
She said 'I'm so happy I could cry'
When the sandman comes it's time to sleep
He throws dust in your eyes to help you dream
You're drifting away down comatose creek
You're riding a wave, you're floating on cream
You swing down low and you swing up high
you sway like a fluffy white cloud in the sky
Yeah, your elated and now I know why
'I'm so happy I could cry'
I'm easy down the middle but she's rare inside
Climb onto a rainbow, take a slide
Going down...going down...I'm so happy, I'm so happy
I'm so happy I could cry'

Love to Laugh
They will call you a fool
They are miserable
Just look at their faces
Sagging in all the wrong places
Joy can be found, it's all around
It's in the either
So, loose the frown, hey look, I brought some reefer
Now I'm wanting to see
Rows of English teeth
Get on the beam
Happiness brings peace
Love to see you giggle
Want to give you a tiggle
Spitting your sides
Jiggle your middle
Love to laugh, it's really healthy
Laugh with the world, Laugh at yourselfy

Guardian Angel
Jacob lost his ladder
When he was working on his porch
He went searching low and low
Getting distraught
Then he came upon a pair of hover-boots
That changed his view
No matter he lost his ladder
Now he’s got flying shoes
(Here she comes, out of the blue)
He has a guardian angel
Like everyone on earth
All that sky above our heads
And yet we’re down here treading dirt
She’ll uncoil the strings
Attached to his kite
Wrap him up in her wings
And together they’ll take flight
You may believe in destiny
But you are no slave to fate
She’s here to tell there is no hell
There are no pearly gates
Instinct will inform you
Of the path that you must take
Listen out for your beating heart
And find a better way
(Here she comes, out of the blue)
You have a guardian angel
You may not hear her speak
But she’s there inside you
Somewhere deep
She’s more like a feeling
Helping you to choose
In the pit of your stomach
In everything you do
You may have a dream
It might not come true
Ideas, schemes and things
You always wanted to do
Try not to let that dream
Obscure the view
If you do this then you may miss
Avenues new
You have a guardian angel
She’s your guiding light
In your darkest hour
On the blackest, moonless night
She’ll wrap her wings around you
Together you’ll take flight
And from on high you’ll see the things
That down here are out of sight
