Arnold Layne

Arnold Layne had a strange hobby
Collecting clothes
Moonshine washing line
They suit him fine

On the wall hung a tall mirror
Distorted view, see through baby blue

Oh, Arnold Layne
It's not the same, takes two to know
Two to know, two to know
Why can't you see?

Arnold Layne, Arnold Layne, Arnold Layne, Arnold Layne

Now he's caught - a nasty sort of person.
They gave him time
Doors bang - chain gang - he hates it

Oh, Arnold Layne
It's not the same, takes two to know
Two to know, two to know
Why can't you see?

Arnold Layne, Arnold Layne, Arnold Layne, Arnold Layne
Don't do it again.     

Candy and a Currant Bun

Oh my, girl sitting in the sun

Go buy, candy and a currant bun

I like, to see you run Like that......

Oooh, don't talk to me

Please just fuck with me

Please you know I'm feeling frail

It's true, sun shining very bright

It's you, who I'm gonna love tonight

Ice cream, taste good in the afternoon

Ice cream, taste good if you eat it soon

Oooh, don't touch me child

Please you know you drive me wild

Please you know I'm feeling frail

Don't try another cat

Don't go where other you must know why

Very very very frail

Oh my, girl sitting in the sun

Go buy, candy and a currant bun

I like, to see you run Like that......

See Emily Play

Emily tries but misunderstands, ah ooh

She often inclined to borrow somebody's dreams till tomorrow

There is no other day

Let's try it another way

You'll lose your mind and play

Free games for may

See Emily play

Soon after dark Emily cries, ah ooh

Gazing through trees in sorrow hardly a sound till tomorrow

There is no other day

Let's try it another way

You'll lose your mind and play

Free games for may

See Emily play

Put on a gown that touches the ground, ah ooh

Float on a river forever and ever, Emily

There is no other day

Let's try it another way

You'll lose your mind and play

Free games for may

See Emily play

Apples and Oranges

Got a flip-top pack of cigarettes in her pocket

Feeling good at the top

Shopping in sharp shoes

Walking in the sunshine town feeling very cool

But the butchers and the bakers

in the supermarket stores

Getting everything she wants

from the supermarket stores

Apples and oranges

Apples and oranges

Cornering neatly she trips up sweetly

To meet the people

She's on time again

And then

I catch her by the eye then I stop and have to think

What a funny thing to do 'cause I'm feeling very pink

Apples and oranges

Apples and oranges

I love she

She loves me

See you

See you

Thought you might to know

I'm the lorry driver man

She's on the run

Down by the river side

feeding ducks by the afternoon tide  

Apples and oranges

Apples and oranges

Apples and oranges

Paint Box

Last night I had too much to drink

Sitting in a club with so many fools

Playing to rules

Trying to impress but feeling rather empty

I had another drink Drink - a - drink - a - drink - a - drink

What a way to spend that evening

They all turn up with their friends

Playing the game

But in the scene I should have been Far far

Away - away - away - away - away

Getting up, I feel as if I'm remembering this scene before

I open the door to an empty room

Then I forget

The telephone rings and someone speaks

She would very much like to go out to a show

So what can I do - I can't think what to say

She sees through anyway Away - away - away - away - away

Out of the front door I go

Traffic's moving rather slow

Arriving late, there she waits

Looking very angry, as cross as she can be

Be - a - be - a - be - a - be - a - be

Getting up, I feel as if I'm remembering this scene before

I open the door to an empty room

Then I forget

Scream Thy Last Scream (Old Woman with a Casket)

(Transcribed by Stephen Schneider at 1/5 slowed down for accuracy.)

Scream thy last scream old woman with a casket

Blam blam your pointers point your pointers

Waddle with apples to grouchy Mrs. Stores

She’ll be scrubbing bubbles on all fours

Scream thy last scream old woman with a casket

Fling your arms madly old lady with a daughter

Flat top top houses, mouses, houses

Victim a victim of sitting fat flat

Watching the telly til all hours, silly child

Fling your arms madly old lady with a daughter

(During Instrumental part)

Oh, sock it to me....

 

Scream thy last scream old woman with a casket

Blam blam your pointers point your pointers

Waddle with apples to grouchy Mrs. Stores

She’ll be scrubbing bubbles on all fours

Scream thy last scream old women with a casket
