Where the old and the new somehow go together like you know they should do.
Where the old and the new always go together like you knew they could do.
I’m sure that I’m in the most modern place in the world
It was the future on TV
And there’s the ancient just next door, just next door
I wanna go there
Where the old and the new somehow go together like you know they should do.
Where the old and the new somehow go together like you knew they could do.
I’m sure that I’m in the most ancient scene, even though
The buildings are so young
I see a different way, I see a stranger way
I wanna go there
Where the old and the new somehow go together like you know they should do.

There’s a man with a clipboard in my road
I want him to go now, now.
There’s a man in a parked car in my road
I wish he would go now, now
There’s a man with a meter just outside my door
I want him to go now, I want him to go now, now, now
I gotta run but I can’t run
Oh, I gotta run - run, run, run, run, run, run
There’s a man ringing bells for hours and hours
I want he would go now, now
There’s a man and he’s hiding in the flowers
I wish he would go now, now
There’s a man with a camera just outside my door
I want him to go now,
I want him to go now, now, now
I gotta run but I can’t run
Oh, I gotta run - run, run, run, run, run, run
There’s a man and he wants a glimpse of me
To make sure that I live here
There’s a man making notes that I can’t see
Crushing me with fear
There’s a man with a clipboard just outside my door
I want him to go now, I want him to go now, now, now
I gotta run but I can’t run
Oh, I gotta run - run, run, run, run, run, run

The lyrics to this one are too basic in a Herman’s Munsters, or is that Hermits way, to merit a written form. I’d recommend reading Jake Thackray’s, mind.

The Last Refuge

He found God in prison when he saw what he’d done
Loving Jesus cos’ he loved no-one
Are your lessons really done?
Last Refuge of the cad
Last Refuge of the cad
Something’s gotta fill that gap
Trying to hold the contempt back
Making up for all you lack
Last Refuge of the cad
Last Refuge of the cad
Last Refuge of the cad
He tried to melt his heart but his heart wouldn’t move
I’ve been in that place too
Realised that it wasn’t true
Last Refuge of the cad
Last Refuge of the cad
Last Refuge of the cad
Last Refuge of the cad

Back in the eighties I was told
Robots would run the world
I don’t mind, one can have my place
Everybody always likes a new face
Work is ...
Work is ...
Work is ...
An extraordinary waste of my incredibly valuable time
Maybe he’ll get bored
Maybe he’ll be ignored
I’ll have compassion for the creature
Even if he’s a metal monster
Work is ...
Work is ...
Work is ...
An extraordinary waste of my incredibly valuable time
Work is ...
Work is ...
Work is ...
An extraordinary waste of my incredibly valuable time

Who will play my girlfriend in the story of my life?
Who will play my girlfriend in the story of my life?
Or my wife, for that matter,
My wife, before I met her
On a beach in Spain in 1958
When she kept her jumper on ‘til late
Walking around dirty wonder town
If you want to cool down go jump in a lake
Who will check the mise-en-scène for the flaws in the narrative.
Who will check the mise-en-scène for the flaws in the narrative
“Mise-en-scène doesn’t matter,”
Said my wife, before I met her
On a beach in Spain in 1958
When she kept her jumper on ‘til late
Walking around dirty wonder town
If you want to cool down go jump in a lake
Who will play my girlfriend in the story of my life?
Who will play my girlfriend in the story of my life?
Every skinny girl in black is set to overload
Every skinny girl in black is set up to explode
All the myths set in motion
By my wife, by the ocean
On a beach in Spain in 1958
When she kept her jumper on ‘til late
Walking around dirty wonder town
If you want to cool down go jump in a lake
Who will play my girlfriend in the story of my life?
Who will play my girlfriend in the story of my life?
Who will play my girlfriend in the story of my life?
Who will play my girlfriend in the story of my life?

The Colours
02:00

The blues, kind of faded
The greens, kind of gone
The reds, kind of jaded
The yellows are nearly none,
St John in the corner
Looking old, looking worried, looking sad
The monsters, up against him
From the land of badder than bad
Oh the colours
Oh-ho-ho, the colours
Oh the colours
Oh-ho-ho, the colours
The trees, kind of curly
Getting thicker as the trip goes on
The sixes, wrought and whirly
A symbol of the Evil One
Deep forest, full of luring
A castle from your wildest dreams
720 years maturing does wonders for the colour schemes
Oh the colours
Oh-ho-ho, the colours
Oh the colours
Oh-ho-ho, the colours, guitar!
If you’re passing that way one day
In Angers in the west of France
You can see those faded colours
Colours like you never knew you had.
Oh the colours
Oh-ho-ho, the colours
Oh the colours
Oh-ho-ho, the colours
Oh the colours, oh the colours, oh the colours, they’re so good!
