Spirit of the Beehive
03:19

We got a call to battle stations, beating out the good vibrations
Along the way we serve the nation, now we need a little conservation
It's our natural inclination, it's almost time for pollination
Don't you wonder how we cope, even when our wings are heavy
Chorus
It's the spirit of the beehive
There's no job application, you fly around you need to be patient
Every little action gets us traction, it's all about the organisation
You get your orders from the captain, he hgets his orders from the queen
We get the job done between us, you can't say fairer than that
Chorus
Outro
It's the spirit of the beehive / We love the bees

Verse
Where have you been, amongst the missing? Did you spend your time in a fucked up dream
Were your eyes open - as you were frozen,
They say you didn't blink for a thousand years
Bridge
The cold head opens up its eyes and wonders how many times?
The cold head tries to raise a smile it's very hard to sympathise
Chorus
The cold head cries
Verse
See what youve done, all those happy endings
You plant the seed and the people believe
Now look what we've found in the back of your mind, Its another happy ending
It's time for you you to think again
Bridge and Chorus
Outro
and he never writes home (the cold head cries) he's lost a lot of weight there's a dull look in his eyes check his pulse its fading shall we send him to the hospital

Baby It's Cold Inside
03:48

I found an ear down in the turf just lying there bloody I had an urge to investigate this was not funny I picked up the hearer and popped it in my pocket before I was bored so I'd better not knock it so baby it's cold inside I took the lughole to show my buddy I asked for help she happened to be lovely she gave her consent and all of a sudden we were in deep trouble there were some symbols and warnings of where not to go we kept our composer and stayed on the trail of the other ear so baby it's cold inside running around in a classic small town cranking up the tension our young detectives are doomed by a drip in the soundtrack to get near the hearer they hopped over a white picket fence take a tin opener to your mind see weird scenes inside so baby its cold inside x 4 can you fix me up so baby its cold inside

The Door To The Dream

Everybody's on the dance floor now.. even uncle Pete he rarely leaves his seat ....even the unstable special constables are tapping their toes ...anything goes ...but hey Tommy's in the army now Tommy's in the army now ... he'd better get his fortune told ... has anybody seen the door to the dream. Look over there ...strewn across the floor in the function room there's a body lying on the bar ....as we see deer hunters disappear ...maybe they'll be back next year ...drinking the undrinkable till time ...thinking the unthinkable ..ammo in your mind ...waiting for a skeleton crew anything goes Tommy's in the army now

Racing Mind
03:20
|

First the trial and then the error of your ways from alpha to oblivion tell me how tell me how you gonna keep yourself together ...working up a sweat on a sunny afternoon .. break-in' the ice in a very cold room ...so you've got a taste for adventure don't spend it all at once you've got to live forever
So fire up your force fields ..
gather up the autumn leaves you've got no-one to play with you've got a racing mind swept in like a guarantee you soon fell apart you've got a racing mind
take a tip from Lou Reed take a stroll down the boulevard how can you breathe when everything damn thing is so synchronised ...and the terrorist get to dress up and call themselves the good guys ..whatever happened to the journalists they've been turned around working for the government
So fire up your force fields

Tina

I've seen her pictures on the tragic lantern screen ...I've seen her fooling round in places that she's been ..She said let's keep in touch by very modern means ...I've found a new love she never makes a scene
now she's got my number she lives upon the Humber she knows my reputation
so far apart ive never really seen her but
I'm getting on very well with Tina
the way she talks to me sometimes she's she tells me she's not the one who's not correct she's not sure I'm the one she will select
let's dance around a baobab tree / I'm not sure of her locality / just you and me

I hope you don't mind me announcing my private parts are bouncing I thought you might find it amusing as announcements go forgive me I had to get your attention I won't mention it again now that's out the way
Dance of the Dreamers on and on
ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh
There's a light that never goes out you can't see it now you've got doubt your impossible schemes soon sorted out there's a light that ...
some say my stories are fantastic I've got angels in the attic they roam around without a sound drinking Chardonnay all day

Are we just sunken treasures lying on the ocean floor waiting to be uncovered maybe by Jacques Cousteau
Searchlights in the gloom were keeping our heads down we're dropping in on someone else's city we're taking the necessary steps
maybe the sands of time have passed you by
Waiting for the archaeologists
Out of the blue somebody sunk our boats under a permanent wave
