Intro

Verse 1

Pale, pubescent beasts,

 Roam through the streets and coffee-shops.

 Their prey gather in herds,

 Of stiff knee-length skirts and white ankle-socks.

 But while they search for a mate,

 My type hiber-nate, in bedrooms a-bove,

 Com-posing their songs of love.

Verse 2

Young, uniform minds,

 In uniform lines and uniform ties.

 Run round, with trousers on fire,

 And signs of de-sire they cannot dis-guise,

 While I, try to find words,

 As light as the birds, that circle a-bove,

 To put in my songs of love.

Bridge 1

Fate doesn't hang on a wrong, or right choice.

Fortune de-pends on the tone, of your voice.

Verse 3

 So sing while, you have time,

 Let the sun shine, down from a-bove;

 And fill you with songs of love.

Solo

Bridge 2

Fate doesn't hang on a wrong, or right choice.

Fortune de-pends on the tone, of your voice.

Verse 3

 So let's sing, while we still can,

 While the sun hangs, high up a-bove.

Wonderful songs of lo...ove,

Beautiful songs of love.
