Track Lyrics

Tracy Jacks Lyrics

[Verse 1]
(Tracy Jacks) Works in civil service
(Tracy Jacks) It's steady employment
(Tracy Jacks) Is a golfing fanatic
(Tracy Jacks) But his putt is erratic
(Tracy Jacks) Saw a Harley Street doctor
(Tracy Jacks) Who prescribed healthy living
(Tracy Jacks) But he's getting past forty
(Tracy Jacks) And all the seams are splitting
[Chorus]
Every day he got closer
He knew in his heart he was over
"I'd love to stay here and be normal
But it's just so overrated"
[Verse 2]
(Tracy Jacks) Left home without warning
(Tracy Jacks) At five in the morning
(Tracy Jacks) Got on the first train to Walton
(Tracy Jacks) And stood on the seafront laughing
(Tracy Jacks) Threw his clothes in the water
(Tracy Jacks) And ran around naked
(Tracy Jacks) Got stopped by the police
(Tracy Jacks) And escorted back home
[Chorus]
Well, every day he got closer
He knew in his heart he was over
"I'd love to stay here and be normal
But that is just so overrated"
[Refrain]
(Tracy Jacks) Woo-ooh, woo-ooh
(Tracy Jacks) Woo-ooh, woo-ooh
(Tracy Jacks) Woo-ooh, woo-ooh
(Tracy Jacks) Woo-ooh, woo-ooh
[Bridge]
And then it happened on a Tuesday morning
Tracy Jacks bulldozed down the house he lived in
Saying it's just so overrated
[Refrain]
(Tracy Jacks) Woo-ooh, woo-ooh
(Tracy Jacks) Woo-ooh, woo-ooh
(Tracy Jacks) Woo-ooh, woo-ooh
(Tracy Jacks) Woo-ooh, woo-ooh
[Chorus]
Every day he got closer
He knew in his heart he was over
"I'd love to stay here and be normal
But it was always overrated"
[Outro]
Woo-ooh, woo-ooh
Woo-ooh, woo-ooh
Woo-ooh, woo-ooh
Woo-ooh, woo-ooh
Woo-ooh, woo-ooh
Woo-ooh, woo-ooh
Woo-ooh, woo-ooh
Woo-ooh, woo-ooh
Woo-ooh, woo-ooh
Woo-ooh, woo-ooh

Bank Holiday Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Grandma needs new dentures to eat the crust on pizza
Taken out by her daughter because she thought she oughta
The kids are eating Snickers because they're so delicious
Then there's sticky fingers then mother loses her knickers
[Chorus]
Bank holiday comes six times a year
Days of enjoyment to which everyone cheers
Bank holiday comes with a six pack of beer
And then it's back to work A-G-A-I-N
[Verse 2]
Barbecue is cooking sausages and chicken
The patio is buzzing and neighbours they are looking
John is down a fun pub drinking lots of lager
Girls and boys are on the game and all the high streets look the same
[Chorus]
Bank holiday comes six times a year
Days of enjoyment to which everyone cheers
Bank holiday comes with a six pack of beer
Then it's back to work A-G-A-I-N
[Instrumental Verse]
[Chorus]
Back to work A-G-A-I-N
[Chorus]
Bank holiday comes six times a year
Days of enjoyment to which everyone cheers
Bank holiday comes with a six pack of beer
Then it's back to work A-G-A-I-N
[Outro]
Bank holiday

Far Out Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I spy in the night sky, don't I?
Phoebe, Io, Elara, Leda, Callisto, Sinope
Janus, Dione, Portia, so many moons
Quiet in the sky at night
Hot in the milky way
Outside in
[Verse 2]
Vega, Capella, Hadar, Rigel, Barnard's Star
Antares, Aldebaran, Altair, Wolf 359
Betelgeuse
[Outro]
Sun, sun, sun, sun
Sun, sun, sun, sun
Sun, sun, sun, sun
Sun, sun, sun, sun
Sun, sun, sun, sun
Sun, sun, sun, sun
Sun, sun, sun, sun

Magic America Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Bill Barrett has a simple dream
He calls it his "Plan B"
There were buildings in the sky and the air is sugar-free
And everyone is very friendly
Well, Plan B arrived on a holiday
Took a cab to the shopping malls
Bought and ate 'til he could do neither any more
Then found love on Channel 44
[Chorus]
La, la-la-la-la
He wants to go to magic America
La, la-la-la-la
He'd like to live in magic America
With all those magic people
[Verse 2]
Bill Barrett sent his postcards home
To everyone he'd ever known, they read
"Fifty-nine cents gets you a good square meal
From the people who care how you feel"
[Chorus]
La, la-la-la-la
He wants to go to magic America
La, la-la-la-la
He'd like to live in magic America
With all the magic people (Mm-mm)
With all the magic people
[Instrumental Break]
[Chorus]
La, la-la-la-la
He wants to go to magic America
La, la-la-la-la
He'd like to live in magic America
La, la-la-la-la
So nice to be in magic America
La, la-la-la-la
He'd like to live in magic America
With all the magic people
With all the magic people
With all the magic people (Oh-oh, oh-oh, oh)
With all the magic people
[Outro]
All the magic people, all the people (With all the magic people)
All the people, all the people (With all the magic people)
All the people, all the people (With all the magic people)
All the people, all the people (With all the magic people)

This Is a Low Lyrics

[Verse 1]
And into the sea
Goes pretty England and me
Around the Bay of Biscay
And back for tea
Hit traffic on the Dogger Bank
Up the Thames to find a taxi rank
Sail on by with the tide
And go to sleep
(And the radio says)
[Chorus]
This is a low
But it won't hurt you
When you're alone
It will be there with you
Findin' ways to stay solo
[Verse 2]
Up the Tyne, Forth and Cromarty
There's a low in the high forties
Saturday's locked away on the pier
Not fast enough, dear
And on the Malin Head
Blackpool looks blue and red
And the Queen, she's gone 'round the bend
Jumped off Land's End
(And the radio says)
[Chorus]
This is a low
But it won't hurt you
When you're alone
It will be there with you
Findin' ways to stay solo
[Instrumental Bridge]
[Chorus]
This is a low
But it won't hurt you
When you're alone
It will be there with you
This is a low
But it won't hurt you
When you're alone
It will be there with you
Findin' ways to stay solo
