Walter, remember when the world was young
And all the girls knew Walter's name? Walter, isn't it a shame the way our little world has changed? Do you remember, Walter, playing cricket in the thunder and the rain? Do you remember, Walter, smoking cigarettes behind your garden gate? Yes, Walter was my mate, But Walter, my old friend, where are you now? Walter's name. Walter, isn't it a shame the way our little world has changed? Do you remember, Walter, how we said we'd fight the world so we'd be free. We'd save up all our money and we'd buy a boat and sail away to sea. But it was not to be. I knew you then but do I know you now? Walter, you are just an echo of a world I knew so long ago If you saw me now you wouldn't even know my name. I bet you're fat and married and you're always home in bed by half-past eight. And if I talked about the old times you'd get bored and you'll have nothing more to say. Yes people often change, but memories of people can remain |

Like the last of the good ol' puffer trains,
I'm the last of the blood and sweat brigade, And I don't know where I'm going, or why I came. I'm the last of the good old fashioned steam-powered trains. I'm the last of the good old renegades. All my friends are all middle class and grey, But I live in a museum, so I'm okay. I'm the last of the good old fashioned steam-powered trains. Like the last of the good ol' choo-choo trains, Huff and puff 'till I blow this world away, And I'm gonna keep on rollin' till my dying day. I'm the last of the good old fashioned steam-powered trains. Like the last of the good ol' puffer trains, I'm the last of the soot and scum(?) brigade, And all this peaceful living is drivin' me insane. I'm the last of the good old fashioned steam-powered trains. I'm the last of the good old fashioned steam-powered trains |

Big Sky looked down on all the people looking up at the Big Sky.
Everybody pushing one another around Big Sky feels sad when he sees the children scream and cry But the Big Sky's too big to let it get him down. Big Sky too big to cry Big Sky too high to see People like you and me One day we'll be free, we won't care, just you see 'Til that day can be, don't let it get you down When I feel that the world is too much for me I think of the Big Sky, and nothing matters much to me. Big Sky looked down on all the people who think they got problems They get depressed and they hold their head in their hands and cry. People lift up their hands and they look up to the Big Sky But Big Sky is too big to sympathize Big Sky's too occupied Though he would like to try And he feels bad inside Big Sky's too big to cry One day we'll be free, we won't care, just you wait and see 'Til that day can be, don't let it get you down. When I feel that the world is too much for me I think of the Big Sky, and nothing matters much to me |

Just sitting down by the riverside,
Spreading my arms to the open wide. Now I am free and the world's at my feet. I can close my eyes. Oh Love, keep me warm, keep me satisfied. Please keep me calm, keep me pacified. Now I'm content and my life is complete. I can close my eyes. Sitting by the riverside with you. I love sitting down by the riverside, Watching the water go flowing by. Oh, golly gee, it is heaven to be Like a willow tree. Spend my time just drinking wine while looking at the view |

This world is big and wild and half insane
Take me where real animals are playing Just a dirty old shack Where the hound dogs bark That we called our home I want to be back there Among the cats and dogs And the pigs and the goats On Animal Farm My animal home On Animal Farm My animal home While I lay my head upon my pillow Little girl, come play beneath my window Though she's far from home She is free from harm And she need not fear She is by my side And the sky is wide So let the sun shine bright On Animal Farm My animal home On Animal Farm My animal home Girl, It's a hard, hard world, if it gets you down Dreams often fade and die in a bad, bad world I'll take you where real animals are playing And people are real people not just playing It's a quiet, quiet life By a dirty old shack That we called our home I want to be back there Among the cats and dogs And the pigs and the goats On Animal Farm My animal home On Animal Farm My animal home On Animal Farm Animal Farm |

Out in the country,
Far from all the soot and noise of the city, There's a village green. It's been a long time Since I last set eyes on the church with the steeple Down by the village green. 'Twas there I met a girl called Daisy And kissed her by the old oak tree. Although I loved my Daisy, I saw fame, And so I left the village green. I miss the village green, And all the simple people. I miss the village green, The church, the clock, the steeple. I miss the morning dew, fresh air and Sunday school. And now all the houses Are rare antiquities. American tourists flock to see the village green. They snap their photographs and say "Gawd darn it, Isn't it a pretty scene?" And Daisy's married Tom the grocer boy, And now he owns a grocery. I miss the village green, And all the simple people. I miss the village green, The church, the clock, the steeple. I miss the morning dew, fresh air and Sunday school. And I will return there, And I'll see Daisy, And we'll sip tea, laugh, And talk about the village green. We will laugh and talk about the village green. |

Baby, you don't know what you're saying,
Because you're a victim of bright city lights, And your mind is not right. You think the world's at your feet. 'Cause you're starstruck, baby, starstruck. Taken in by the lights, Think you'll never look back, You know you're starstruck on me. Baby, you're running around like you're crazy. You go to a party and dance through the night, And you'll drink 'till you're tight, And then you're out on your feet. 'Cause you're starstruck, baby, starstruck. Taken in by the lights, Think you'll never look back, You know you're starstruck on me. Baby, watch out or else you'll be ruined, 'Cause once you're addicted to wine and champagne, It's gonna drive you insane, Because the world's not so tame. And you're starstruck, baby, starstruck. You're taken in by the lights, Think you'll never look back, You know you're starstruck on me. Don't you know that you are, Starstruck on me. And you always will be, Starstruck on me. Starstruck on me. |

A long, long time ago,
In the land of idiot boys, There live a cat, a phenomenal cat, Who loved to wallow all day. No one bothered him As he sat, content in his tree. He just lived to eat 'cause it kept him fat, And that's how he wanted to stay. Though he was big and fat, All the world was good to him, And he pointed out on the map All the places he had been. Cowes, Sardinia, Katmandu, The Scilley Isles and Sahara, too Fum, fum, diddle-um di La la la la, la-la la la La la la la, la-la la la la La la la la-la la la Once when he was thin He had flown to old Hong Kong, And had learned the secret of life, And the sea and the sky beyond. So he gave up his diet and sat in a tree, And ate himself through eternity. Fum, fum, diddle-um di La la la la la-la la la La la la la, la-la la la la La la la la-la la la Fum, fum, diddle-um di Fum, fum, diddle-um di |

My big day, it was the biggest day of my life.
It was the summit of my long career, But I felt so down, and I drank too much beer, And my manager said that I should not appear. I walked out onto the stage and started to speak. The first night I've missed for a couple of years, I explained to the crowed and they started to jeer, And just when I wanted no one to be there, All of my friends were there. Not just my friends, but their best friends too. All of my friends were there to stand and stare, Say what they may, all of their friends need not stay. Those who laughed were not friends anyway. All of my friends were there to stand and stare. Days went by, I walked around dressed in a disguise. I wore a mustache and I parted my hair, And gave the impression that I did not care, But oh, the embarrassment, oh, the despair. Came the day, helped with a few last glasses of gin, I nervously mounted the stage once again, Got through my performance and no one complained, Thank God I can go back to normal again. I went to that old cafe, Where I had been in much happier days, And all of my friends were there, And no one cared. Say what they may, all of my friends were there. Not just my friends, but their best friends too. All of my friends were there, Now I don't care. |

In a dark and misty house,
Where no Christian man has been, Wicked Annabella mixes a brew That no one's ever seen. Relatives have passed her by, Too scared to even say hello. She's in perpetual midnight, She shuts out the day, And goes about her sinful ways. I, I've seen her hair, I've seen her face, Look towards mine. I, I've felt her eyes burning my soul, Twisting my mind. Little children who are good Should always go to sleep at night, 'Cause Wicked Annabella is up in the sky Hopin' they will open their eyes. Don't go into woods tonight, 'Cause underneath the sticks and stones Are lots of little demons enslaved by Annabella Waiting just to carry you home |

Under a lamp light
Monica stands at midnight, And every guy think he can buy her love, But money can't buy sweet lovin' from Monica. Morning to moonshine, Monica knows every line. Don't ever propose 'cause Monica knows, you know. She'll turn up her nose and say what a fool you are. I, I shall die, I, I shall die if I should lose Monica. (Oh Monica my love.) People can try, People can try, but they can't buy Monica, my love. You take the sunshine, I'll take the nightly shadows. 'Cause everyone knows that Monica glows at night. She'll do something wrong and prove to you she is right. I, I shall die, I, I shall die if I should lose Monica. (Oh Monica my love.) People may try, People may try, but they can't buy Monica, my love. Morning to moonshine, Monica knows every line. Don't ever propose 'cause Monica knows, you know. She'll turn up her nose and say what a fool you are. Monica. |

People take pictures of the Summer,
Just in case someone thought they had missed it, And to proved that it really existed. Fathers take pictures of the mothers, And the sisters take pictures of brothers, Just to show that they love one another. You can't picture love that you took from me, When we were young and the world was free. Pictures of things as they used to be, Don't show me no more, please. People take pictures of each other, Just to prove that they really existed, Just to prove that they really existed. People take pictures of each other, And the moment to last them for ever, Of the time when they mattered to someone. People take pictures of the Summer, Just in case someone thought they had missed it, Just to proved that it really existed. People take pictures of each other, And the moment to last them for ever, Of the time when they mattered to someone. Picture of me when I was just three, Sucking my thumb by the old oak tree. Oh how I love things as they used to be, Don't show me no more, please. |
