White Music lyrics

Hey - what you going to do now
You're standing there and wondering how
You've got to make some noise
Just like one of the girls
Or even one of the boys

When you do it
It ain't no disgrace
I can see it written all across your face
Neon Shuffle and shuffle into Outer Space
I said - is a dance for the human race
I said - is gonna pull you outta your place

You - you put your hands together

I'm like a spinning top
Going round and around
Well I don't know what's up
And I sure don't know what's down
Now watch me - I'm like a spinning top
Can't tell day from night
Well I don't know what's wrong
And I sure don't know what's right
Now watch me

It started when I heard your song of love
Pouring down like honey from above
I started to spin
I started to move
Just like a needle

Boom goes my heart
Dancing around your daisies
Church bells will start
Sat on you reading your ages
I drift away
In loving memory of a name
Covered in moss
You may have died for your country
Forgotten not lost
You're laid to rest where you're wanted
I stare awhile
In loving memory of a name
England can never repay you
You gave your life to be buried alongside
The place you loved

Do what you do what you do ... to me
The stars are out and so am I
The stars I see ain't in the sky
I'm heading for the twilight zone
Please don't take me home

I'm bugged you all look like insects
In your brand new sunspecs
I'm bugged I'm bugged
I drop a little note through my sympathetics door
I think I'm going ga ga I just can't take anymore
At first I see 'em swarming from a dark and midnight nest
And when I see 'em fiddling well I think you've guessed the rest!

I'm bugged you all look like insects
In your brand new sunspecs
I'm bugged I'm bugged

"There must be some way out of here," said the joker to the thief,

"There's too much confusion, I can't get no relief.

Businessmen, they drink my wine, plowmen dig my earth,
None of them along the line know what any of it is worth."

"No reason to get excited," the thief, he kindly spoke,

"There are many here among us who feel that life is but a joke

Awful plastic boots that come above her ankle
Dayglo mini skirts just like a pop art spangle
Digs vanilla fudge buys lipstick by the pound
Gets that 'English' look resembles Kath McGowan
Have you seen her hair it's a style from heaven
Ah! she's nowhere she thinking this is 1967?
She's so square she's nowhere
She's so square she's nowhere
Take her to a disco and screaming Lord Sutch it!

Great fire burning
You supplied the spark
Fores burning spreading through the ark
Animals are panicking
I'm animal and panicking
Your glance a match on the tinderwood
You never spoke but I understood
Bring water
Eyes bring water
Chorus: Great fire burning through
Great fire burning through my house
Great fire burning through my house and heart
Great fire burning
All because of you

Sindy's spending too much money on clothes
Ken is going back to Gay Bob
The Teddy bears swear the neighbourhood's gone
Since the moving in of Golliwog
Rag doll gets beaten up by the Action man
The one with the real life hair
He walks and he talks in a commanding voice
But sexually he's not all there
Oh dear what can the matter be, my children sweet children

Ha Ha Ha
Ho Ho Ho
Now you see it
Now you don't
Has no bones
To hurt your throat
Good and sweet
Nice to eat
If you like it
Just repeat

I'll set myself on fire
I'll set myself on fire
I'll set myself on fire
Oh strike my hand
On a stone Joan
God knows this is yuk
Do it all in unison
Ha Ha Ha
Ho Ho Ho

We have the pool
Ah - No that's cruel
Why do you take me for
A fool?

The first time I saw you standing in the water
You must have been all of a thousand feet tall
Nearly naked - unashamed like Herod's daughter
Your love was so big
It made New York look small

You've been the subject of so many dreams
Since I climbed your torso
Oh!
My statue of Liberty
Boo Boo
Impaled on your hair
What do you do
Do Do to me
Boo Boo

I leaned right over to kiss your stoney book

Hope you enjoyed your flight in one of our new straw aeroplanes,
you'll find things here are just like what you're used to. There's
lots of waste and razor wire and no one gives a damn about the land,
we just stand around and stare like you folks do.
For we ain't got no brains and we ain't got no hearts, it's just
that wild old wind that tears us all apart. We're the scarecrow

Another year's gone by, the world's grown older, sometimes I heave a
sigh, people grow colder.
Every day I do my best to show, I can make it in this world I know,
but all the bad thoughts that people bring, my faith in human nature's
getting pretty thin.
Help me get through these cynical days. Help me get through my
cynical ways. You say it's just a passing phase, you've got to help

Have you seen Jackie?
He's a strange strange strange little girl
Make up on his face and his hair in curls
Have you seen Jackie?
She's a strange strange strange little boy
Her long black beard is her pride and joy
And all the children follow him around
And all the grownups try to drag her down
So we sing
Hey, leave Jackie alone
Hey, his pigeons have flown

There's a message up in China
That they getting in Japan
Bouncing off an ocean liner
Make em shake em in Siam
All the kids are complaining
That there's nowhere to go
All the kids are complaining
That the songs are too slow
All I'm saying is you're deaf
To the fact that there's ...
Radios in motion
Atmosphere to ocean
Radios in motion
Gets you out of your red white and blues

In a milk bar and feeling lost
Drinking sodas as cold as frost
Someone leans in m direction
Quizzing on my juke-box selection
What do you call that noise
That you put on

This is pop
Yeah Yeah

This is!

On a walkway and moving fast
All I get is transistor blast
Someone leans in my direction
Quizzing on my station selection
What do you call that noise
That you put on

This is pop
Yeah yeah
