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.
