Walk on your tip toes, don’t tie no bows  
Better stay away from those that carry around a fire hose  
Keep a clean nose, watch the plainclothes  
You don’t need a weather man to know which way the wind blows

Penny Lane is in my ears and in my eyes  
Wet beneath the blue suburban skies  
I sit and meanwhile back in

Penny Lane, there is a fireman with an hourglass  
And in his pocket is a portrait of the Queen  
He likes to keep his fire engine clean  
It’s a clean machine

Welcome my son  
Welcome to the machine  
Where have you been?  
It’s alright we know where you’ve been

You’ve been in the pipeline  
Filling in time  
Provided with toys and scouting for boys  
You brought a guitar to punish your ma

_Welcome to the Machine. Pink Floyd_

Got a machine head, it’s better than the rest  
Green to red, machine head  
Got a machine head, it’s better than the rest  
Green to red  
I walk from my machine  
I walk from my machine

The machine of a dream  
Such a clean machine  
With the pistons a-pumping  
And the hubcaps all gleam  
When I’m holding your wheel  
All I hear is your gear  
When my hand’s on your grease gun  
Oh, it’s like a disease, son

I’m in love with my car  
Got to feel for my automobile  
Get a grip on my boy racer roll bar  
Such a thrill when your radials squeal

Your love give me such a thrill  
But your love don’t pay my bills  
I need money (That’s what I want)  
That’s what I want (That’s what I want)

The thrill is gone  
The thrill is gone away  
The thrill is gone, baby  
The thrill is gone away  
You know you done me wrong, baby  
And you’ll be sorry someday

The thrill is gone  
It’s gone away from me  
The thrill is gone, baby  
The thrill is gone away from me  
Although, I’ll still live on  
But so lonely I’ll be

_The Thrill Is Gone. B.B. King_

Doctor my woman is comin’ back home late today  
Could you maybe give me somethin’?  
‘Cause the feeling is gone and I must get it back right away  
Before she sees that I’ve been up down tryin’ to get the feeling again

Ain’t no sunshine when she’s gone  
It’s not warm when she’s away  
Ain’t no sunshine when she’s gone  
And she’s always gone too long  
Anytime she’s goes away

Sunshine, come on back another day,  
I promise you I’ll be singing.

Brand new bells will be ringing.

Bell bottom blues, you made me cry  
I don’t want to lose this feeling  
And if I could choose a place to die  
It would be in your arms

And it’s too late baby now, it’s too late  
Though we really did try to make it  
Something inside has died, and I can’t hide it  
And I just can’t fake it  
Oh, no, no, no (no, no, no)

I see your lips  
And I wonder who’s been kissing them  
I never knew how badly I was missing them  
We both know we’re never going to make it  
But when we touch  
We never have to fake it

I wonder who’s kissing her now, I wonder who’s teaching her how,  
I wonder who’s looking into her eyes, breathing sighs, telling lies.  
I wonder who’s buying the wine for lips that I used to call mine.  
I wonder if she ever tells him of me, I wonder who’s kissing her now.

Wonder of wonders, miracle of miracles-  
God took a Daniel once again,  
Stood by his and side and- miracle of miracles-  
Walked him through the lions den!

Daniel is traveling tonight on a plane

And I can see Daniel waving goodbye
