25 O'Clock

The Dukes Of Stratosphear 25 O'Clock Lyrics
1.25 O' Clock

The urge to take you grows more strong
For time had made me wait too long
Each watch I smash apart
Just adding to my power
Each watch I smash apart
Just bringing near the hour of 25 o'clock That's when you're
going to be mine
25 o'clock, we'll be together
'Til the end of time
At 25 o'clock

The ticking seconds hear them call
My spell of hours will make you fall
Each timer that I break
Will halt the flowing sands
Each timer that I break
Will put you in my hands
At 25 o'clock, that's when
You're going to be mine
25 o'clock, we'll be together
'Til the end of time
At 25 o'clock

Each watch I smash apart
Just adding to my power
Each watch I smash apart
Just bringing near the hour
of 25 o'clock


2.Bike Ride To The Moon

Push me off to start the fun
On a bike ride to the moon
Lots of room for everyone
On a bike ride to the moon

And we'll bring back cheese
For my Auntie Jane
And some magic moon dust
That'll stop the rain
On my poor Uncle Alfred's head
Even though he stays in bed (silly Alfred)

Why not bring a pot of tea
On a bike ride to the moon
Angel cake for you and me
On a bike ride to the moon

And we'll pack a tent 'case
It's cold at night
And I'll share your sleeping bag if I might
And might be a positive boon
To protect you from the man in the moon (Who happens to be me,
look out!)

Racing forward can't look back
On a bike ride to the moon
What did I omit to pack
On a bike ride to the moon?

With the stars all glinting
In the shiny Chrome
Then I suddenly remembered
What I left at home
Now I shan't be peddling any higher
'Cos a sharp Sputnik has given me a cosmic flat tyre


3.My Love Explodes

My love explodes all over the world
For you, yeah you
My love explodes in diamonds and pearls For you, just you

When the straight plastic bowler men
Grab your soul and pull
You down down down
Call my name on your dream telephone
Catch a saucer and I'll be around
Blow 'em out of town
My love explodes

My love explodes like the stars up in Space for you, yeah you
My love explodes with the whole human Race for you, just you

When the walls are all closing in
And your paradise
Goes wrong wrong wrong
Spell my name on your pillow tonight
Catch a rainbow and I'll be along
Singing coloured songs
My love explodes

I've got people billions of people
Waiting here for bliss
All it takes to free these people
Is the power of a kiss, my love explodes

My love explodes all over the world
For you, yeah you
My love explodes in diamonds and pearls For you, just you
My love explodes


4.What In The World

2032
Housewives shock in blue
What in the world is it coming to
What in the world

2033
Cannabis in tea
What in the world
Acid is free
What in the world
If daddy could see today
He'd be turning in his grave
If mummy could see the way
The boys and girls
And the manner in which
They talk to their parents

2034
Women fight the wars
Men are too bored
They're scrubbing floors
Men are too bored
They're staying at home
Doing the chores
What in the world
Do you remember when this life
Was in perspective
And the grownups were respected
They'd give up a seat on the bus
Open your door with no fuss

2035
The whole world's one beehive
Throw us a line you might be in time
Throw us a line
What in the world
Who gets the girl
What in the world


5.Your Gold Dress

You gold dress is whirling around
Like a fan it's lifting you high
High above the ground
Never coming down

You gold dress is burning alight
Deafens me with the sound of the sun
Setting fire to the night
And every thing's all right

Vibrations coming my way
When you're floating on by
In your gold dress
Vibrations coming to play
When you're filling the sky
With your gold...dress

Your gold dress is shaming the stars
A thousand melting Dali Guitars
Make no sound
And dripping slowly down
Your gold dress is all I can see
Blind my eyes but there it will be
Beacon burning bright
And every thing's all right

Your gold dress!


6.The Mole From The Ministry

If you think there's something wrong
Holes appearing on your lawn
Don't you blame the man next door
It's not him

Flowers walk from place to place
Dark spot moves around your face
Objects vanish without trace
It's not you

I'm the mole from the Ministry
And you'll all bow down to me
I'm the mole in your potting shed
I'm the bad thoughts inside your head
And you won't catch me

(Fish and visitors smell after three days)
If you thinks there's something strange
Garden starts to rearrange
From perfect lawn to mountain range
It's not you

I'm the mole from the Ministry
Working underground
And you'll all bow down to me
Moving facts and figures all around
I'm the mole in your potting shed
Undermine your world
I'm the bad thoughts inside your head
And you shouldn't think me, No!
And you shouldn't think me
Mole
Mole
Mole


7.Nicely Nicely Jane

Nicely, nicely Jane
Wiles away her hours
Nicely, nicely Jane
Cutting heads from flowers
No one knows why she does this
No one knows why she's vague and hazy
Except once she was jilted
And that made the girl a trifle crazy
Nicely, nicely Jane
Wiles away her hours
Nicely, nicely Jane
Cutting heads from flower children


8.Susan Revolving

Susan revolving
Down there by the ceiling
Peculiar feeling
High above the ground
Susan revolving
Up there every morning
No four minute warning
Prepares you for the sound
And she's ever going round
Ever turning round and round
Always high below the ground
Susan revolving
With sun ever-warming
A new world is forming
There inside her head
And she's ever going round
Ever turning round and round
Always high below the ground
Susan revolving
The dream all congealing
With daybreak revealing
Her glowing on her bed
Susan revolving
Down there by the ceiling
Peculiar feeling
High above the ground
Susan revolving
Up there every morning
No four minute warning
Prepares you for the sound


9.Black Jewelled Serpent Of Sound

Black jewelled serpent of sound
Dragging me deep underground
Dragging me down, where I drown in the sound
Drown in the sound of her eyes
Black jewelled serpent of sound
Black jewelled serpent of sound
On my minds drum she will pound
Pounding me down, by her flesh I am bound
To drown in the sound of her lies
Black jewelled serpent of sound
In am a prisoner of the black jewelled serpent of sound
And nevermore will I see the sun


10.Open A Can Of Human Beans

Turn that opener at a pretty fast rate
Pour out the contents on a big round plate
Poke around a while and then you'll see
They're just like you and they're just like me
Open a can of human beans
Open a can and see their crazy dreams
And stranger schemes
Open a can of human beans
Open a can and see their loving scenes
With war machines
Everybody got an appetite on fire
Everybody want a slice of heaven
But of self-devouring we will never tire
If you are what you eat
Grab a knife and fork and take your seat
Open a can of human beans
Open a can and see their crazy dreams
In reds and greens
Open a can of human beans
Open a can and see their loving scenes
In magazines
Everybody got a feeding frenzy now
Everybody want a piece of action
But we think that we're above the pig sheep cow
If you are what you eat
Shake hands with your dinner when we meet
Turn that opener at a pretty fast rate
Pour out the contents on a big round plate
Poke around a while and then you'll see
They're just like you and they're just like me
Everybody's got an appetite on fire
Everybody wants a slice of heaven
But of self-devouring we will never tire
If you are what you eat
Grab a knife and fork and take your seat
Open a can
Open a can
Open a can


11.Tin Toy Clockwork Train

Tin toy clockwork train
Driving all around your brain
Take you there and back again
In a tin toy clockwork train,
Tin toy clockwork train
The driver is a toad whose eyes
Are painted on his cheeks
Pulling on a whistle made of candy cane
Climb aboard and we can all go tripping
To a place where everything is sublime
You'll arrive before the past has happened
Get you back on time
Tin toy clockwork train
Driving all around your brain
Take you there and back again
In a tin toy clockwork train,
Tin toy clockwork train
The guardsman is a chimp
Who's waving his electric flags
The tickets are collected by a wind-up man
Climb aboard and we all can go tripping
To a station at the back of your head
Signals change and now we're all unzipping
Next stop feather bed
(Come on, hurry up, get on board, look out, hold on top)
Tin toy clockwork train
Driving all around your brain
Take you there and back again
In a tin toy clockwork train,
Tin toy clockwork train
Tin toy clockwork train
Driving all around your brain
Take you there and back again
In a tin toy clockwork train,
Tin toy clockwork train
