LYRICS:
----------
Baking a whole summer's day into one cake
Arranging a snare-less drum kit with the Herr
Dear God, so unfair…
Choreographing inclement weather
Clues to what’s next hint at an old nursery rhyme
That Edelmann would design
In Woodstock you can taste orange and lemon
Channeling some band from ‘67
(Chorus)
RD Davies, Beatles & Percy Bysshe - What a reading list
From Fuzzy Warbles to Byrds and Beach Boy bliss - With an English Twist
Circling high in the Stratosphear
Back down to earth forever in Ermine Street
Anchoring your feet
Chalkhills and children: the common touch
From citric psychedelic to Nonsuch
(Chorus)
RD Davies, Beatles & Percy Bysshe - What a reading list
From Fuzzy Warbles to Byrds and Beach Boy bliss - With an English Twist
Hidden with Holly
In Henry’s folly
A sleeve etched by the mapmaker John Speed
And Then She Appeared…
Apple Venus: her name rings a bell
Disappointed Ballads, the canvas we're dealt
((Chorus)
RD Davies, Beatles & Percy Bysshe - What a reading list
From Fuzzy Warbles to Byrds and Beach Boy bliss - With an English Twist

LYRICS:
----------
They call her Natasha - When she looks like an Elsie
She talks like a duchess – when she’s still a waitress
She thinks she’s a guest — she’s a tourist at best
She wears her heart out on her sleeve – when her remarks are off the cuff
Now she knows how to be dumb
That little fool
She dances like she learned from a series of still pictures
She’s so easily led, but much too scared to follow
Her mouth is made up but her mind is undone
He's got double vision - When she wanted him double jointed
Now she knows how to be dumb
That little fool
She used to take the breath out of me - Now I think she'll be the death of me
Every time I phone her I just want to put her down
Now she knows how to be dumb
That little fool
Oh, I said "I'm so happy, I could die."
She said "Drop dead," and turned and left with another guy.
Now I know how to be dumb
This little fool

LYRICS:
----------
Johnny’s tunes—preceding Steven’s words
Waiting for—her master’s voice to come
But this time—a journey on a train alone
An overture that kept on teasing and teasing
She put on her coat and turned up her collar
And rode the Draize Train out into the rainy night...
So Jeane walked — back to the old house
Girl afraid—she knows these things take time
And she reeled—at what this handsome devil said
This night had really
Opened her eyes she
Began to accept her
Self and William
Only heaven
Knew the difference it would make
Writing the missing words in her head
Wondering what Steven would have said
She could have been a poet or she could have been a fool...

Sympathy For That Devil

When you speak I get no satisfaction
Heed your own words and button your lip
Like her you've shown you’ve got a heart of stone
She took a country and she let it bleed
Don't show sympathy for that devil
Don’t show, your sympathy for her
All the aftermath of that sweet neo-con
Left the salt of the earth, black & blue
Tears went by, she closed down our steel wheels
All dirty work - no emotional rescue
Don't show sympathy for that devil
Don’t show, your sympathy for her
You’re at Her Satanic Majesty's Request
Don’t show, your sympathy for her
Don’t Vote Like Jagger ….
