Armenia City in the Sky Lyrics

[Prelude]

(Monday)

(Tuesday)

(Wednesday)

(Thursday)

(Friday)

(Saturday)

(Sunday)…

[Instrumental Intro]

[Verse 1]

If you're troubled and you can't relax

Close your eyes and think on this

If the rumors floating in your head all turn to facts

Close your eyes and think on this

[Chorus]

Armenia, city in the sky

[Instrumental Break]

[Verse 2]

If you ever want to lose some time

Just take off, there's no risk

If you ever want to disappear

Just take off, and think of this

[Chorus]

Armenia, city in the sky

[Bridge]

The sky is glass, the sea is brown

And everyone is upside-down

[Instrumental Break]

[Chorus]

Armenia, city in the sky

[Outro]

(Freak out, freak out)

[Jingle]

Wonderful Radio London

Whoopee!

Heinz Baked Beans Lyrics

[Intro]

One, two, three, four!

[Spoken Verse]

What's for tea, mum?

What's for tea, darling?

Darling, I said what's for tea?

What's for tea, daughter?

[Outro]

Heinz Baked Beans!

[Segue]

More music, more music

Mary Anne With the Shaky Hand Lyrics

[Instrumental Intro]

[Verse 1]

I've danced with Linda

I've danced with Jean

I've danced with Cindy

Then I suddenly see

[Chorus]

Mary-Anne with the shaky hands

What they've done to her man

Those shaky hands

[Bridge]

Mary is so pretty

The prettiest in the land

Guys come from every city

Just to shake her shaky hands

[Verse 2]

Linda can cook

Jean reads books

Cindy can sew

But I'd rather know

[Chorus]

Mary-Anne with the shaky hands

What they've done to her man

Those shaky hands

[Instrumental Bridge]

[Chorus]

Mary-Anne with the shaky hands

What they've done to her man

Those shaky hands

Mary-Anne with the shaky hands

What they've done to her man

Those shaky hands

[Outro]

Premier drums!

Odorono Lyrics

[Verse 1]

She sang the best she'd ever sang

She couldn't ever sing any better

But Mister Davidson never rang

She knew he would forget her

[Chorus]

She'd seen him there

And put herself to ransom

He had stared

He really was quite handsome

[Verse 2]

She had really looked her best

She couldn't ever look any better

But she knew she'd failed the test

She knew he would forget her

[Bridge]

(Triumphant!) Was the way she felt

As she acknowledged the applause

(Triumphant!) Was the way she'd felt

When she saw him at the dressing room door

[Verse 3]

She was happier than she'd ever been

As he praised her for her grace

But his expression changed, she had seen

As he leant to kiss her face

[Chorus]

It ended there

He claimed a late appointment

She quickly turned

To hide her disappointment

[Verse 4]

She ripped her glittering gown

Couldn't face another show, no

Her deodorant had let her down

She should have used Odorono

[Jingle]

It's smooth sailing with the highly successful sound

Of wonderful Radio London

Our Love Was Lyrics

[Intro]

Our love was

[Verse 1]

Our love was famine, frustration

We only acted out an imitation

Of what real love should have been

Then suddenly

[Chorus]

Our love was flying

Our love was soaring

Our love was shining

Like a summer morning

[Verse 2]

Flying, soaring

Shining morning

Never leaving

Lying, dying

[Bridge]

Love, love, love long

[Chorus]

Our love was flying

Our love was soaring

Our love was shining

Like a summer morning

[Verse 3]

Our love was famine, frustration

We only acted out an imitation

Of what real love should have been

Then suddenly

[Chorus]

Our love was flying

Our love was soaring

Our love was shining

Like a summer morning

[Jingle 1]

You're a pussycat, and you're where it's at

The one that's in on every play

The in sound

Big L

Speakeasy, drink easy, pull easy

[Jingle 2]

Hold your group together with Rotosound Strings

I Can See for Miles Lyrics

[Instrumental Intro]

[Verse 1]

I know you've deceived me

Now here's a surprise

I know that you have

'Cause there's magic in my eyes

[Alt. Chorus]

I can see for miles and miles

And miles and miles and miles

Oh yeah

[Verse 2]

If you think that I don't know about

The little tricks you've played

And never see you when deliberately

You put things in my way

[Pre-Chorus 1]

Well, here's a poke at you

You're gonna choke on it too

You're gonna lose that smile

Because all the while

[Chorus]

I can see for miles and miles

And miles and miles and miles

Oh yeah

[Verse 3]

You took advantage of my trust in you

When I was so far away

I saw you holding lots of other guys

And now you've got the nerve to say

[Pre-Chorus 2]

That you still want me

Well, that's as may be

But you gotta stand trial

Because all the while

[Chorus]

I can see for miles and miles

And miles and miles and miles

Oh yeah

[Instrumental Bridge]

[Verse 4]

I know you've deceived me

Now here's a surprise

I know that you have

'Cause there's magic in my eyes

[Alt. Chorus]

I can see for miles and miles

And miles and miles and miles

Oh yeah

[Verse 5]

The Eiffel Tower and the Taj Mahal

Are mine to see on clear days

You thought that I would need a crystal ball

To see right through the haze

[Pre-Chorus 3]

Well, here's a poke at you

You're gonna choke on it too

You're gonna lose that smile

Because all the while

[Outro]

I can see for miles and miles

I can see for miles and miles and

Miles and miles and miles and

Miles and miles and miles

I can see for miles and miles

Medac Lyrics

9 ContributorsMedac LyricsHenry Pond had no fun

Had a face like a currant bun

This adolescent little fella

Was nicknamed by his friends "Old Yella"

The doctors gave him creams and lotions

To try to soothe the boy's emotions

But all in vain, the acne stayed

Henry's hopes began to fade

Then, when just about to crack

He found another cream, Medac

When Henry in the mirror peered

His pimples all had disappeared

Henry laughed and yelled "I got 'em

Me face is like a baby's bottom"

Relax Lyrics

[Chorus]

Relax and settle down

Let your mind go 'round

Lay down on the ground

And listen to the sound

Of the band

Hold my hand

[Verse 1]

Open up your mind

We'll love right where we lie

I'll know you from inside

You like a horse, I'll ride

O'er the sand

Through the land

[Refrain]

Relax and let your mind roll on

Over all your problems

Relax and let your mind roll on

Over all your problems

[Verse 2]

We try harder and harder, trying to get our way

But it's a long, long wait until Judgement Day

So settle your affairs and take your time

'Cause everything in the world is yours and mine

Yours and mine

[Chorus]

Relax and settle down

Let your mind go 'round

Lay down on the ground

And listen to the sound

Of the band

Hold my hand

[Outro]

Relax

Silas Stingy Lyrics

[Verse 1]

Once upon a time, there lived an old miser man

By the name of Silas Stingy

He carried all his money in a little black box

Which was heavy as a rock

With a big padlock

All the little kids would shout

When Silas was about

[Chorus]

Money, money, money bags

There goes mingy Stingy

Money, money, money bags

There goes mingy Stingy

[Verse 2]

Silas didn't eat, which was just as well

He would starve himself for a penny

He wore old clothes and he never washed

'Cause soap cost a lot

And the dirt kept him hot

All the little kids would shout

When Silas was about

[Chorus]

Money, money, money bags

There goes mingy Stingy

Money, money, money bags

There goes mingy Stingy

[Verse 3]

In the back of his head

Was a voice that said

Someone will steal it all

You'll be lying in the gutter with an empty box

The thieves will be having a ball

[Chorus]

Money, money, money bags

There goes mingy Stingy

Money, money, money bags

There goes mingy Stingy

[Verse 4]

He bought a safe to put the box in

And a house to put the safe in

And a watchdog on a chain to make quite sure

And his face was very funny

When he counted up his money

And he realized he hadn't any more

[Chorus]

Money, money, money bags

There goes mingy Stingy

Money, money, money bags

There goes mingy Stingy

Sunrise Lyrics

[Chorus]

You take away the breath I was keeping for sunrise

You appear and the morning looks drab in my eyes

And then again I'll turn down love

Having seen you again

Once more you'll disappear

My morning put to shame

You take away the breath I was keeping for sunrise

You appear and the morning looks drab in my eyes

And then again I'll turn down love

Having seen you again

Once more you'll disappear

My morning put to shame

[Verse]

Sometimes I fear that this will go on my life through

Each day I spend in an echoed vision of you

And then again I'll turn down love

Remembering your smile

My every day is spent

Thinking of you all the while

The times I've let myself down

My head's spinning 'round

My eyes see only you

The chances I've lost

Opportunities tossed

Away and into the blue

[Chorus]

You take away the breath I was keeping for sunrise

You appear and the morning looks drab in my eyes

And then again I'll turn down love

Having seen you again

Then again you'll disappear

My morning put to shame

Rael (1 and 2) Lyrics

[Verse 1]

The Red Chins in their millions

Will overspill their borders

And chaos then will reign in our Rael

The country of my fathers

A proud land of old order

Like a goldfish being swallowed by a whale

[Chorus]

Rael, the home of my religion

To me the center of the Earth

[Verse 2]

The Red Chins in their millions

Will overspill their borders

And chaos then will reign in our Rael

My heritage is threatened

My roots are torn and cornered

And so to do my best, I'll homeward sail

[Chorus]

Now Captain, listen to my instructions

Return to this spot on Christmas Day

Look toward the shore for my signal

And then you'll know if in Rael I'll stay

[Bridge 1]

If a yellow flag is fluttering

Sickly herald against the morn

Then you'll know my courage has ended

And you'll send your boat ashore

But if a red flag is flying

Brazen bold against the blue

Then you'll know that I am staying

And my yacht belongs to you

[Chorus]

Now Captain, listen to my instructions

Return to this spot on Christmas Day

Look toward the shore for my signal

And then you'll know if in Rael I'll stay

[Bridge 2]

He's crazy if he thinks

We're coming back again

He's crazy if he thinks

We're coming back again

He's crazy if he thinks

We're coming back again

He's crazy, anyway

[Outro]

If a yellow flag is fluttering

Sickly herald against the morn

Then you'll know my courage has ended

And you'll send your boat ashore
