Paul Roberts

Down in the sewer
Picking up quite a lot of empty coca cola cans
and there sure are a lot of them around here

How did I get down here ?
Well it's a long story.
I should have stayed down home out on the farm
and kept my tootsies warm instead of freezing them off down here

There's lots of rats down here
You can see the whites of their eyes
They got sharp teeth
Deep breath
And lots of diseases

People say you shouldn't stay down here too long
Lose your sense of light and dark
Lose your sense of smell

I tell you what I'm gonna do
Gonna make love to a water rat or two
and breed a family
they'll be called the survivors
You know why ?
No
They're gonna survive

I'll see you in the sewer darling
And don't be late

I'll see you in the sewer
I'll see you in the sewer, the sewer, the sewer

I'll see you in the sewer
I'll see you in the sewer

I'll see you in the sewer
I'll see you in the sewer

I'll see you in the sewer
I'll see you in the sewer

A woman in Wellington wet her whistle with a wild man
From way back when,
She sucked her thumb and she held her head for the man she didn't ken
A Nip in Nippon napped a nod and knew a new nomad
Near the nearside window of his Mitsubishi
His kid was scared he said he thought it was something new

Just like nothing on earth
Just like nothing on earth
Just like nothing on earth
(Just like nothing on earth)
(Just like nothing on earth)

Just ... like ... nothing ... on ... earth
On ... earth

Just like nothing on earth
Just like nothing on earth
Just like nothing on earth
(Just like nothing on, just like nothing on earth)

A man on the main motor mile mesmerised much monkey magic
Meandering piecemeal
You know UFOs utilise euphoric united ecstatic fantastic
Traumatic burning rubber blubber blackout checkout
For philandering sons of magic women
His brain was blazed and amazed he said he thought it was something new

Just like nothing on earth
Just like nothing on earth
Just like nothing on earth
(Just like nothing on earth)
(Just like nothing on earth)

Just ... like ... nothing ... on ... earth
On ... earth

Just like nothing on earth
Just like nothing on earth
It was just like nothing on earth

Somewhere in Africa, somewhere in Rome
People are sleeping awake in their homes
Waiting for shepherds to attempt to their sheep
Their disappointments they're piled in a corner

A second co - ming will come in
A second co - ming will come in
A second co - ming will come in
A second co - ming will come in
(It will come in)

Turn on the sets and then wait for the show
Will he have blond hair and what will he know
Will he tell jokes or will he make us cry
If we write to him will he send back a reply

A second co - ming will come in
A second co - ming will come in
A second co - ming will come in
A second co - ming will come in
(It will come in)

Like everybody I wait for the day
Like everybody I'll send him away
He may be ugly and have problem hair
Even speak funny and make all the people stare

A second co - ming will come in
A second co - ming will come in
A second co - ming will come in
A second co - ming will come in

Second coming (It will come in)
Second coming (It will come in)
Second coming (It will come in)
Second coming (It will come in)
Second coming (It will come in)
Second coming (It will come in)
Second coming (It will come in)
Second coming
Second coming
Second coming

Second coming (It It It will come in)
Second coming (It It It will come in)
Second coming (It It It will come in)
Second coming (It It It will come in)
Second coming (It It It will come in)

Dedicated emancipated
Claims she waited her life for her man
Loves to pray every day
Says she's not frustrated in any way
Dressed in a black cotton sack
Pledges herself and she never looks back
She's a non stop nun
She's a non stop nun
She's a non stop nun
And she's running running running running running
Enlisted sister knows her mister
Never two times with the rest of the clan
In her eyes you sympathize
The afterlife holds a better plan
She's a non stop nun
She's a non stop nun
She's a non stop nun
And she gives up her whole life
And she'll never be your wife
'Cause she's got the best lover
Better than any other
Better than any other
She's a non stop nun
She's a non stop nun
She's a non stop nun
And she's running running running running running
Dedicated emancipated
Claims she waited her life for her man
Loves to pray every day
Says she's not frustrated in any way
She's a non stop nun
She's a non stop nun
She's a non stop nun
And she gives up her whole life
And she'll never be your wife
'Cause she's got the best lover
Better than any other
Better than any other
Better than any other

They woke to grey English morning
And to a strange honeymoon
The girl who gave him all her love
And the man who said it still wouldn't do
His parents always worked hard
Never went to bed late
nd though they were God's own people
They're still the ones he loves to hate
He never wanted to
Suffer this fate
All the girls have fallen for
The man they love to hate
The city is an animal
It snores and by day it roars
And though he loved to hate it
He couldn't live without it's flaws
With pastel curtains moaning
At a thousand harsh words - then hush
The girl she wanted to leave
Because she loved the man too much
He never wanted to
Suffer this fate
All the girls have fallen for
The man they love to hate
His father was a fighter
And he practised on his son
His mother was just some furniture
Who'd lost the will to run
The girl she wrote him a farewell note
And though he probably didn'y care too much
The girl she finally left him
Because she loved the man too much

Came Down On A Monday
Somewhere In The Midlands
Tasted Man Tasted Flea
COuldn't Tell The Difference
Asked Around On Tuesday
Got Nothing From A Tree
The Guide Had Said What Talks Is Red
That's All There Is To See

Who Wants The World
Who Wants The World
Who Wants The World
Not Me
Not Me
Not Me
Not Me
(Tell Me To Rearrange Your Face
Sometime I'd Really Like To Get
To Know You Better)

Looked Around On Wednesday
Took In All The Sights
The Promised Land They'd Left To Man
Been Ruined Over Night
Peering Through Thr Portholes
Teardrops In Their Eyes
The Ship They Took One Last Look
At Thursday Setting Sunrise

Who Wants The World
Who Wants The World
Who Wants The World
Not Me
Not Me
Not Me
Not Me

Who Wants The World

Golden brown, texture like sun
Lays me down, with my mind she runs
Throughout the night
No need to fight
Never a frown, with golden brown

Every time just like the last
On her ship tied to the mast
To distant lands
Takes both my hands
Never a frown with golden brown

Golden brown, finer temptress
Through the ages she's heading west
From far away
Stays for a day
Never a frown with golden brown

(instrumental)

Never a frown (Never a frown)
With golden brown (With golden brown)
Never a frown (Never a frown)
With golden brown (With golden brown)

Never a frown (Never a frown)
With golden brown (With golden brown)
Never a frown (Never a frown)
With golden brown (With golden brown

Duch Of The Terrace Never Grew Up
I Hope She Never Will
Broken Down TV Sits In The Corner
Pictures Standing Still
Standing Still

Duch Of The Terrace Knows All Her Heritage
Says She's Henry's Kid
Knows All Her History In The Family
Needs A Man God Forbid
God Forbid

And It Sounds Like An Empty House
Standing Still
And It's Quieter Than A Mouse
Standing Still

Duch Of The Terrace Never Grew Up
I Hope She Never Will
Says She's An Heiress Sits In Her Terrace
Says She's Got Time To Kill
Time To Kill

And The Rodneys Are Queuing Up
God Forbid
And They All Want To Win The Cup
God Forbid

Duchess Duchess
Duchess Duchess
Duchess Duchess
And The Rodneys Are Queuing Up

And The Rodneys Are Queuing Up

And The Rodneys Are Queuing Up

I love the family
Longer than longevity
Mother tells me what to be
Taller than the tallest tree
I love the family
Sister loves me tenderly
Sitting on my daddy's knee
Let me introduce you to the family
I love the family/I love the family
I love the family/I love the family
I love the family/I love the family
I love the family
Friends will fall for the family
Brother you are dear to me
Watch it grow the family tree
Can't outrun the family
It gets me where I want to be
Trough thick and thin it will help me
Let me introduce you to the family
I love the family/I love the family
I love the family/I love the family
I love the family/I love the family
I love the family
Repeat

Takes the time to stay one place
Though his clothes aren't finest lace
Read the lines on a tramp's face
Taking his time just like you just like me

Wandering so fancy free
Searching for love in the call of the wild
Travelling lost like a child
Law has missed him every day

Doesn't need it anyway
Life is the next meal away
A lost woman long ago
Does she miss him does he know?

Does it matter in the snow?
Taking his time just like you just like me
Wandering so fancy free
Searching for love in the call of the wild

Travelling lost like a child
Taking his time just like you just like me
Wandering so fancy free
Searching for love in the call of the wild

Travelling lost like a child

Fly straight with perfection
Find me a new direction
You never realised the things they said
We'll never realise until we're dead

The ebony embittered souls of children
We'll seek another way before too long
But will you stop my wind before I'm gone

And when you find me all alone
Your world has never been my own

And when you find me
And when you find me all alone
Your world has never been my own

My friend you're black and when you fly you're wild
I am white sometimes I behave just like a child
The northern seas are cold but they're our own
We'll sail your southern seas before too long

When I was a viking
My friend he was the raven

See the little nuclei
Bursting full of information
There's a need to regulate
Bring it down to cells and plasma

Tell you what they're gonna do
Started doing it already
Got to find something new
Looking for it in genetix

Found a new game to play
Think it's impossible to lose
Messing round at playing God
Easy way to play genetix

Gene regulation

"The first law of Segregation
States that any gamete male
Or female can carry the
Determinant gene of only one
Pair of alternative characteristics.
The second law of free assortment
States that in a cross involving
One pair of alternative characteristics,
The characteristics will segregate
In the second filial generation,
In the relative proportions of
9, 3, 3, 1"

I'm waiting every day I've been watching from my chimney stack
I'm waiting every week I've been hoping that they're coming back
I'm seeing all the signs and I'm learning how to bring them back
And I'm waiting for the Meninblack

(Waiting for the Maninblack)
(Waiting for the Meninblack)
(Seeking for the Loveinblack)
(Seeking for the Meninblack)
(Seeking for the Meninblack)
(Seeking for the Meninblack)

I'm standing on a hill and I'm looking for the glimpse of light
I'm clutching my teddy bear if I don't I might die of fright

I'm reading all the signs and I'm learning how to bring them back
And I'm waiting for the Meninblack

Two sunspots are staring at me
One to the left and one to the right of me
Never seen a heat so extraordinaire
Just two sunspots so so so scared
Just two sunspots
Just two sunspots
Just two sunspots

Spots are burning a hole in my eyes
Just two rough round red raw real sunspots
Rough to the touch and shy of the air
They start a little fire and the weather ain't fair.

Just two sunspots
Just two sunspots
Just two sunspots

Just two sunspots
Just two sunspots
Just two sunspots

Better pull the blind down
Deny they exist
But anything you seen once
You're just gonna miss
Just two sunspots
Just two sunspots
Just two sunspots
Just two
Just two (Just two sunspots)
Two more (Just two sunspots)
Two more sunspots (Just two sunspots)
Just two sunspots (Just two sunspots)
Just two sunspots (Just two sunspots)
Just two (Just two sunspots)
Just two (Just two sunspots)
Two more (Just two sunspots)
Two more (Just two sunspots)
Two more sunspots (Just two sunspots)
Just two sunspots (Just two sunspots)
Just two sunspots(Just two sunspots)
Just two sunspots(Just two sunspots)
Just two sunspots(Just two sunspots)

One reported long ago
No one heard and laughed as though
It twas some product of mad man's minds
Not clear enough to cure the blind
And in all the corners of the globe
They'll shield their eyes from shining robes

Defying science all the laws
The like of them not seen before
Their gifts much worse than the three kings
Rewriting future, changing thoughts
And all the battles that we fought
Are these the devil, are they four
