Private Investigations

It’s a mystery to me
The game commences
For the usual fee
Plus expenses
Confidential information
It’s in a diary
This is my investigation
It’s not a public inquiry
I go checking out the reports
Digging up the dirt
You get to meet all sorts
In this line of work
Treachery and treason
There’s always an excuse for it
And when I find the reason
I still can’t get used to it
And what have you got
At the end of the day?
What have you got
To take away?
A bottle of whisky
And a new set of lies
Blinds on a window
And a pain behind the eyes
Scarred for life
No compensation

White Rabbit

  • One pill makes you larger
    And one pill makes you small,
    And the ones that mother gives you
    Don’t do anything at all.
    Go ask Alice
    When she’s ten feet tall.
    And if you go chasing rabbits
    And you know you’re going to fall,
    Tell ’em a hookah smoking caterpillar
    Has given you the call.
    Call Alice
    When she was just small.
    When the men on the chessboard
    Get up and tell you where to go
    And you’ve just had some kind of mushroom
    And your mind is moving low.
    Go ask Alice
    I think she’ll know.
    When logic and proportion
    Have fallen sloppy dead,
    And the White Knight is talking backwards
    And the Red Queen’s “off with her head!”
    Remember what the dormouse said:
    “Feed your head. Feed your head. Feed your head”

A Spaceman Came Traveling

AUDIENCE PARTICIPATION PARTIES:

A spaceman came traveling on his ship from afar
‘Twas light years of time since his mission did start
And over a village, he halted his craft
And it hung in the sky like a star, just like a star
He followed a light and came down to a shed
Where a mother and child were lying there on a bed
A bright light of silver shone round his head
And he had the face of an angel and they were afraid
Then the stranger spoke, he said, do not fear
I come from a planet a long way from here
And I bring a message for mankind to hear
And suddenly the sweetest music filled the air
And it went la la la la la la la la la
La la la la la la la, la la la la la la la la la
Peace and goodwill to all men and love for the child
La la la la la la la la la, la la la la la la la, la la la la la la la la la, oh
This lovely music went trembling through the ground
And many were awakened on hearing that sound
And travelers on the road
The village they found by the light of that ship in the sky
Which shone all around
And just before dawn at the paling of the sky
The stranger returned and said, now I must fly
When two thousand years of your time has gone by
This song will begin once again to a baby’s cry
And it went la la la la la la la la la
La la la la la la la, la la la la la la la la la
This song will begin once again to a baby’s cry
And it goes la la la la la la la la la
La la la la la la la, la la la la la la la la la
Peace and goodwill to all men and love for the child
Oh the whole world is waiting, waiting to hear the song again (la la la la la la la la la)
There are thousands standing on the edge of the world (la la la la la la la la la)
And a star is moving somewhere, the time is nearly here (la la la la la la la la la)
This song will begin once again to a baby’s cry

Don’t Fear the Reaper

  • All our times have come
    Here but now they’re gone
    Seasons don’t fear the reaper
    Nor do the wind, the sun or the rain
    We can be like they are
    Come on, baby (don’t fear the reaper)
    Baby, take my hand (don’t fear the reaper)
    We’ll be able to fly (don’t fear the reaper)
    Baby, I’m your man
    La, la, la, la, la
    La, la, la, la, la
    Valentine is done
    Here but now they’re gone
    Romeo and Juliet
    Are together in eternity (Romeo and Juliet)
    40, 000 men and women everyday (like Romeo and Juliet)
    40, 000 men and women everyday (redefine happiness)
    Another 40, 000 coming everyday (we can be like they are)
    Come on, baby (don’t fear the reaper)
    Baby, take my hand (don’t fear the reaper)
    We’ll be able to fly (don’t fear the reaper)
    Baby, I’m your man
    La, la, la, la, la
    La, la, la, la, la
    Love of two is one
    Here but now they’re gone
    Came the last night of sadness
    And it was clear she couldn’t go on
    Then the door was open and the wind appeared
    The candles blew and then disappeared
    The curtains flew and then he appeared
    Saying don’t be afraid
    Come on, baby (and she had no fear)
    And she ran to him (then they started to fly)
    They looked backward and said goodbye (she had become like they are)
    She had taken his hand (she had become like they are)
    Come on, baby (don’t fear the reaper)
