She’s the one, I’ve been told
Well, she’s wearing a band of gold
Peggy Sue got married not long ago
If you knew Peggy Sue
Then you’d know why I feel blue
Without Peggy, my Peggy Sue
Oh well, I love you, gal
Yes, I love you Peggy Sue
Everywhere there’s lots of piggies
Living piggy lives
You can see them out for dinner
With their piggy wives
Clutching forks and knives to eat their bacon
Bus stop rat bag, ha ha charade you are.
You fucked up old hag, ha ha charade you are.
You radiate cold shafts of broken glass.
You’re nearly a good laugh, almost worth a quick grin.
You like the feel of steel, you’re hot stuff with a hat pin,
And good fun with a handgun.
You’re nearly a laugh, you’re nearly a laugh,
But you’re really a cry.
Windy bus-stop. Click. Shop-window. Heel.
Shady gentleman. Fly-button. Feel.
In the underpass, the blind man stands
With cold flute hands
Symphony match-seller, breath out of time
You can call me on another line
Listen kid you paid for the call
You ain’t bad but we’ve heard it all before
And it sounds like John, Paul and George
And when The Beatles tell you
They’ve got a word “love” to sell you
They mean exactly what they say
Do what they say, say what you mean
One thing leads to another
You told me something wrong, I know I listen too long
But then one thing leads to another.
You’ve got so much to say, say what you mean,
mean what you’re thinking, and think anything. Why not?
Now why why why not?
Well I beg you on my bended knees
If you’ll only listen to my pleas
Is there anything I can do
Cos I really can’t stand it, I’m so in love with you
Tell me why you cried, and why you lied to me
Tell me why you cried, and why you lied to me
Squeeze me.
Come on and squeeze me
Come on and squeeze me like you do
I’m so in love with you
You have to learn to pace yourself - pressure
You’re just like everybody else - pressure
You’ve only had to run so far, so good
But you will come to a place
Where the only thing you feel are loaded guns in your face
And you’ll have to deal with pressure
Insanity laughs under pressure we’re cracking
Crazy, I’m crazy for feeling so lonely
I’m crazy, crazy for feeling so blue
I knew you’d love me as long as you wanted
And then someday you’d leave me for somebody new
All my bags are packed
I’m ready to go
I’m standin’ here outside your door
I hate to wake you up to say goodbye
Wake up, little Susie, wake up
Wake up, little Susie, wake up
We’ve both been sound asleep
Wake up little Susie and weep
The movie’s over, it’s four o’clock
And we’re in trouble deep
Brown the eyes that sleep has rendered blind
Gravity eyelids come down
Come love so young with your gold arms so I wake her
Here’s a will that will glow in the dark
Someone’s morning begins,
And down on the pavement the traffic is roaring,
I make more coffee and catch myself pouring one for you.
Someone’s morning begins,
The radio gives me advice with my dishes,
I’m tripping myself on the things that I wish I had done for you.
Morning again, the sun is probably shining,
Someone is probably finding his way.
Morning again, somebody else’s day.
Yes
I’m coming down
Your beauty is
A color surround
Into the half light
Another velvet morning for me
There is a voice calling for me
There is a light coming down on me
There is a doubt that is clearing
There is a day that is dawning
There is a wound that is healing
There is a season waiting for me
There is a road that is turning
There is a fire still burning
A sickness in me
Constant pace towards the end
The need is stronger
This time the need is deeper
