SONG LYRIC:
LIVER BIRD
Now that Liverpool Lil
she was a real Liver bird
None could be the liver
or so I have heard
She got herself around
as quick as rumour words
No trams to Lime Street
but what did a guy care
Ride in Lilly's taxi
and you pay no fare
Yes that Liverpool Lil
was a real live wire
Jump aboard her cab
she'll fix that flat tyre
Man you're on your way
and you don't have to hire
No trams etc (twice)
Now etc
No trams etc (twice)
SONG LYRIC:
SILVER NAILS
If every cloud
has a siver lining
then pretty soon
my sun will be shining
and I'll be free
of all my pining
Love comes round again
or so I am told
Love comes round again
and the sun glows like gold
The skies are grey
and falls the rain
like silver nails
to add to my pain
Yet love they say
will come round again
Love etc
If etc
Love etc
SONG LYRIC:
CARNABY CARNIVAL
Regent Street meets Oxford Street
Trish meets her two pals
and after a bit of a natter
go shopping do the gals
with rings in their belly-buttons
Yeah rings in their navels
Trish and Vicky and Val
they're part of the Carnaby carnival
They talk about the clothes
in their parrot-fashion way
You too can be a rebel
and dress like a pirate say
All the anti-fashion gear
is sold by the designers of today
Trish etc (twice)
There's the good shop Liberty
at Kingly Court far from the sea
Regent etc
Trish etc (thrice)
SONG LYRIC:
GOT YOUR GORGON'S HEAD ON
I'm not your Aunt Sally
and I'm not Worzel Gummidge
Watch how you go girl
when through my pockets you rummage
You won't find a single thing
that says that I am having a fling
Yes watch how you go
and whose toes you tread on
even though I know
you've got your gorgon's head on
No I'm not your Aunt Sally
so don't throw stuff at me
I am not he kind to stick around
where there's green-eyed jealousy
Fix me do with that stare
If I'm a snake then I'm out your hair
Yes watch etc (twice)
Repeat 1st verse
Yes watch etc (twice)

SQUARE MILE (WHO'S YOUR MOTHER?)
We the good people
here in London's Square Mile

SONG LYRICS:
GLIMMER TWINS
On the stage is Mr Death
along with Mr Shimmer-Limbs
Keithy Guitar and Micky Lips
sometimes know as the Glimmer Twins
There is old Mick Jagger
and he's a-thrusting like a dagger
He's a-dancing and a-prancing
He's a-prancing and a-dancing
On the stage etc
There he is, Mick's twin-star
rocking 'n' rolling with his guitar
He's a-strumming and a-humming
He's a-humming and a-strumming
On the stage etc
Soul survivors
those two are
Soul survivors
those twin-stars
Repeat 1st verse
On the stage etc
YOU CAN TALK
You can talk
but can you sing?
You put down everyone
You put down everything
You think you know it all
but you are a ding-a-ling
If you are so clever
why do you act so dumb?
You think you're the forefinger
when you're the stubby thumb
Folk see you coming
and turn around to run
You can etc
Yeah if you are so clever
why do you act so daft?
The words that you spout
cause one hell of a draught
Try learn some thinking skills
Apply them to your jawing craft
You can etc
If you etc
You can etc
POEMS:
SALEM'S-SORRY-SISTERS
They say that moldy bread
put the visions in their heads.
We're told that hallucinations
led to the very accusations
that would eventually damn
the poor sisters of Salem.
Old women and young girls
possessed by an evil-spirit-world.
Folk had to burn, had to hang
that which they did not understand.
They'd to make scapegoats of them,
those poor sisters of Salem.
Hang, hang, hang,
the witches of Salem.
Hang, hang, hang,
the witches of Salem.
VERY-BRAVE-GAMBLING-GIRL-YES
The girl is a gambler.
It makes her head reel.
It makes her head turn
like the roulette wheel.
I am no gambler.
I have no regrets.
There are far too many
waste money on bets.
Chip-dealer, deal.
Let spin the wheel.
Another loser goes
without a meal.
The casino was built
on all it takes,
but will she learn
from her mistakes?
There are few winners.
Maybe she is one.
Don't bet on it.
Not even for fun.
TALES-TELLS-A-TIT
A little bird told me
what you told it.
You didn't keep mum
you telltale tit.
You can't keep a secret.
That's okay with me.
I am no member
of a secret society.
Tell the yellow buntin.
Tell the robin redbreast.
Tell it to the blackbird
and to all the rest.
I will only tell you
what I know you'll tell.
I've nothing to hide
and I've seen too well
if ever I did
then I'd never trust
the telltale tit
with the woman's bust.
SONG LYRIC:
CITY CENTRE SO-AND-SOS
From the city we will go
and complain about the dawn cock's crow
Spread a little hate
Spread a little hate
when outside the city gates
Spread a little hate
and watch it grow
The seeds of evil
we two will sow
and watch sprout weeds
from Hell below
From etc
We'll miss The Strand
and miss Soho
It's a gay term
the last you know
We are not gay
just nasty so-and-sos
From etc
What a pair
Makes you despair
Spread etc
From etc
POEMS:
A HUMAN-BEAN
Stood like a scarecrow
or a beggar on a cross,
find to the hungry pigeons
the man was no loss.
Nor did the guy scare.
He held out beans in Trafalgar Square.
HOT-ACADEMIC-ARCADIAN-HOLIDAY
In arcadia I hoof along.
Pure and simple is the sheperd's song,
like Pan-pipes blowing away
on this academy's sunny-summer-holiday.
Never before have I seen
such maidens float on the liquid-green.
Yes floating and dancing is their game.
Do unto me things I dare not name
Lovely nymphs that you be
to my high-minded low-level philosophy.
