The Dukes Of Stratosphear Psonic Psunspot Lyrics
1.Vanishing Girl

Someone's knocking in the distance
But I'm deaf and blind
She's not expected home this evening
So I leave the world behind
For the Vanishing Girl
The Vanishing Girl
Yes she'd give you a twirl
But she vanishes from my world
So burn my letters and you'd better leave
Just one pint a day
The whole street's talking about my
White shirts looking so grey
People gossip on the doorstep
Think they know the score
She's giving him the runaround
The man from number four
Has a Vanishing Girl
A Vanishing Girl
Yes she'd give you a twirl
But she vanishes from my world
Yes the paint is peeling and my
Garden is overgrown
I got no enthusiasm
To even answer the phone
When she's here
It makes up for the time
She's not and it's all forgotten
But when she goes
I'm putting on the pose
For the Vanishing Girl


2.Have You Seen Jackie?

Have you seen Jackie?
He's a strange strange strange little girl
Make up on his face and his hair in curls
Have you seen Jackie?
She's a strange strange strange little boy
Her long black beard is her pride and joy

And all the children follow him around
And all the grownups try to drag her down
So we sing
Hey, leave Jackie alone
Hey, his pigeons have flown
Hey, she's never at home
At all these days
Leave Jackie alone

Have you seen Jackie?
He's an odd odd odd little fish
To fly around is his only wish
Have you seen Jackie?
She's a queer queer queer little bird
Shy and quiet neither scene nor herd

And all the rats will follow him around
The dogs and cats will
Chase her from the town
And we sing
Hey, leave Jackie alone
Hey, his mind is all blown
Hey, she's not on the phone
At all these days
Leave Jackie alone
Jackie couldn't decide if he was a girl
Or if she was a boy
Have you seen Jackie?


3.Little Lighthouse

She's a little lighthouse when she
Opens up her huge eyes
And streams of diamonds shoot out
'Til we're wading waist deep
In her brilliant love

She's a little lighthouse when she
Opens up her red mouth
And gold word ribbons rope and rodeo
The dark clouds in bouquet above

For how long will this dark age last?
For how long must we wait to learn?
Across the black and fossil ocean vast
I spy love and she doth brightly burn
Love sure lives in the right house

She's a little lighthouse when she
Opens up her huge mind and
Thoughts descending spears of crystal
Build a Jacob's ladder up to love

She's a little lighthouse
When she opens up her red dress
Show skin of rubber marble
Lit by knowledge and the fireflies above

And can others see this splendid beam?
Or do they navigate in dark?
If you ever want to dock your dream
Well you'll need love
To guide your fragile ark

Love sure keeps a bright house
She's a little lighthouse


4.You're A Good Man Albert Brown

Well you're a good man Albert Brown
And you was wounded in the war
And though you shot some people down
You're still a good man Albert Brown
Well you're a good man Albert Brown
Though you are drunk upon the floor
And if you're buying the next round
Then you're a good man Albert...

Brown was the color
Of the mud across the Somme
Red was the blood you spilled upon it
Pink were the fingers of the nurse who dressed your wound
White was the starch upon her bonnet
And you married that nurse
And her name was Else
And then along came dad

I'll have another pint of...

Brown is the color
Of your old walking boots
Green is the cash
You'd love to squander
Gold is the color
Of your wife's faithful heart
So get yourself home
No more to wander
And you married that nurse
And her name's still Else
And another child was had
You're a good man Albert Brown


5.Collideascope

Collideascope
Careful, don't look down the wrong end
You will see ships that fall out of the sky
Who put that nail in your eye
You make me want to cry with your...

Collideascope
Everything looks smashed and broken
You will see fishes that drown in the sea
If you don't alter your mind
I'd hate you to go blind why don't you

Wakey Wakey Wakey
Little Sleeper
If you doze much longer
Then life turns to dreaming
Wakey Wakey Wakey
Little Sleeper
If you doze much longer
Then dreams turn to nightmares

Collideascope
Everything looks topsy turvy
You will see one young girl split into two
One half who's false one half true
You better get your glue ready

Wakey Wakey Wakey
Little Sleeper

Collideascope
Careful don't look down the wrong end
All the world's colours will crash into one
Monochrome living's no fun
You're staring down a gun with your
Collideascope


6.You're My Drug

You take me to heaven
From deeper than hell ever dug
And you fly me higher
Than a trip on a magical rug
Confessions unravel
You bang with your gavel
And here I stand guilty
In a court where you are the judge
You're the drug
You've got to come on round
And pick me up
You've my drug
And I don't ever know
If I can give you up
Well you bring me color
Where once I had just black and white
Now I have rainbows appearing
Round here in the night
Our true loving is growing
And passion is flowing
Well I don't need any cigarettes
Or beer from a jug
You're my drug
You've got to come on round
And pick me up
You're my drug
Well you can slow me down
Or quick me up
You're my drug
Well you can spill me down
And lick me up
You're my drug
And I don't ever know
If I can give you up


7.Shiny Cage

Hiding faces turning pages
Still they read and read
Double deckers full of smokers
Look who's gone to seed
Well the sun's getting higher
Think I'll take a flyer
The thought of it's causing me pain
Ooh! Shiny Cage
Talk a walk under the subway
See an old school chum
Window shopping for a short while
Then we'll have some fun
Well the shops closing early
Everywhere's deserted
Hello and down comes the rain
Oooh! Shiny Cage
We'll do the town tonight
I know some girls then stop off for a bite
No strings to tie my kite
Well living for the night
No way to spend a life -- Ooh!


8.Brainiac's Daughter

Brainiac's daughter
Made me a suit of bricks and mortar
And a matching stove pipe hat, oh yes
Brainiac's daughter
Took me on a sleigh ride underwater
And I'm crazy for girls like that
Oh yes Sir, yes Sir
Three bags full Sir

All across the land the bells ring out
It's night, sun shines bright
So I reach to hold
Her frozen hand in flight
As we alight in
The bottle city of Kandor

Brainiac's daughter
Talks like a Daily Planet Reporter
Sitting cross legged
There on the mat, oh yes
Brainiac's daughter
Swallowed the pocket watch I bought her
And I'm crazy for girls like that
Oh yes Sir, Yes Sir
All fall down Sir

And I love the lights that blink on and off
All around her head
And I love the clothes
That she tries on and off
Landing on the bed
Yes Sir, Yes Sir
Three bags full Sir


9.Affiliated

Pubs and clubs
And opening hours
Was all he knew
One arm bandits
And Affiliated members
Women taboo
Had his own tankard
And the evening Standard
And a trophy from darts
That he kept over the bar
He'd nothing to fear
He had his beer
B-E-E-R!
Then came her
Through the blur
Then came she
Made him see
He saw the light
Before he'd finished his pint
She saved him from
The biggest crime in life
They hated her
They said you'll never see him again
Got a mortgage 'round his neck
And eight screaming kids
But his seat's always here if he wants it


10.Pale And Precious

So pale and precious
Is the light that will shine
Out of the windows in her head
So pale and precious
Like the sun as it climbs
Up every morning on her bed

If all of her moments
Were put down in a book
Then I could read it 'til I went blind
If all of the tears
She cried flowed into a brook
Well than I'm sure
It would taste like wine
Don't care what the others might say
As far as I'm concerned
They can all fall apart
Fade away

So pale and precious
Is the light that will shine
Out of her perfumed golden hair
So pale and precious
Are the steps that I climb
Up to her room so bright and bare

If all of the things she said
Were flowers and tress
Well then her garden
Would always be green
If all of our time together
Fell on one day
It would be like
Every Christmas there's been

Don't care what the others might say
As far as I'm concerned
They can all fall apart
Fade Away

Up she rises each and every morning
She blows the stars out of the sky
And lights the sun with her bright eyes

The smell of the pine cones
And the sea in her hair
Silver Gentle
