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
Private investigations

Over the Hills and Far Away

Here’s forty shillings on the drum
For those who volunteer to come,
To ‘list and fight the foe today
Over the Hills and far away
[Chorus]

When duty calls me I must go
To stand and face another foe
But part of me will always stray
Over the hills and far away
[Chorus]

If I should fall to rise no more
As many comrades did before
Then ask the fifes and drums to play
Over the hills and far away
[Chorus]

Then fall in lads behind the drum
With colours blazing like the sun
Along the road to come what may
Over the hills and far away
[Chorus] 3x

[Chorus]: O’er the hills and o’er the main

Through Flanders, Portugal and Spain
King George commands and we obey
Over the hills and far away

    • Here is the news
    Coming to you every hour on the hour
    Here is the news
    The weather’s fine but there may be a meteor shower
    Here is the news
    A cure’s been found for good old rocket lag
    Here is the news
    Someone left their life behind in a plastic bag
    Here is the news
    Another action filled adventure
    Here is the news
    All the worst from the world convention
    Here is the news
    I wanna go home, I want my baby back
    Here is the news
    Somebody has broken out of Satellite 2
    Here is the news
    Look very carefully, it may be you

    • I hear you’re alive, how disappointing

    I’ve also survived, no thanks to you

    Did I not bring you some glee, Mr. Oh-Look-At-Me

    Now I’ll burn all the memories of you

    All those lonely nights

    As I burn all the memories of you

    (Ladies and gentlemen, you have been the most beautiful audience! Remember to toss a coin if you can! If anyone needs me, I’ll be at the bar.)

    What for do you yearn?

    It’s the point of no return

    After everything we did, we saw

    You turned your back on me

    What for do you yearn?

    Watch that Butcher burn!

    At the end of my days when I’m through

    No word that I’ve written will ring quite as true

    As burn

    Burn, Butcher, burn!

    Burn, Butcher, burn!

    Burn, burn, burn!

    Burn, burn, burn, burn, burn…

    Burn

    Watch me burn all the memories of you

    • 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”

There’ll be Sad Songs / Suddenly

    • Sometimes I wonder by the look in your eyes
    When I’m standing beside you
    There’s a fever burning deep inside
    Is there another in your memory
    Do you think of that someone
    When you hear that special melody?
    I always stop and think of you especially
    When the words of a love song
    Touch the very heart of me
    There’ll be sad songs to make you cry
    Love songs often do
    They can touch the heart of someone new
    Saying I love you
    I often wonder how it could be you loving me
    Two hearts in perfect harmony
    I’ll count the hours until that day
    A rhapsody plays a melody for you and me
    Until the moment that you give your love to me
    You’re the one I care for
    The one that I would wait for
    There’ll be sad songs to make you cry
    Love songs often do
    They can touch the heart of someone new
    Saying I love you
    Oh
    You’re my desire, you take me higher
    My love is like a river running so deep
    I always stop and think of you especially
    When the words of a love song
    Touch the very heart of me
    There’ll be sad songs to make you cry
    Love songs often do
    They can touch the heart of someone new
    Saying I love you
    There’ll be sad songs to make you cry
    Love songs often do
    They can touch the heart of someone new
    Saying I love you
    Doo, doo, doo, doo, doo
    Doo, doo, doo, doo, doo
    Oooh, saying I love you
    I love you
