[Talking]

???: -All windy man

Jonny: Eh?

Thom: The wind is blowing us down!

???: (chuckles)

???: Very wi-

Thom: Hey, hang on. That won't work, no, that won't work. Just do it wrong, man. Just forget about all that

???: But that would work

???: It would work, totally

Thom: Except we won't be in time

???: No, you won't be in time

Thom: Come on

???: Come on

???: What's that light there?

???: Let's just do it again

Thom: What about here? It's quite good here!

???: You'll be- You'll be in time- You'll be in time enough that we could ??? in our place. Well, let's do one here and then we can try one more


[Verse 1]

Wakey wakey

Rise and shine

It's on again, off again, on again

Watch me fall

Like dominoes

In pretty patterns

Fingers in

The blackbird pie

I'm tingling, tingling, tingling

It's what you feel not

What you ought to, what you ought to

Reasonable and sensible


[Chorus 1]

Dead from the neck up

I guess I'm stuffed, stuffed, stuffed

We thought you had it in you

But no, no, no

For no real reason


[Verse 2]

Squeeze the tubes and empty bottles

I'll take a bow, take a bow, take a bow

It's what you feel not

What you ought to, what you ought to

An elephant that's in the room is

Tumbling, tumbling, tumbling

In duplicate and triplicate and

Plastic bags and

Duplicate and triplicate


[Chorus 2]

Dead from the neck up

I guess I'm stuffed, stuffed, stuffed

We thought you had it in you

But no, no, no

Exactly where do you get off

Is enough, is enough?

I love you but enough is enough, enough of that stuff

There's no real reason


[Outro]

You've got a head full of feathers

You got melted to butter

Thom: It's going blue, cold

Jonny: (chuckles)
