Who - Boris the Spider
Look he's crawling up my wall
Black and hairy very small
now he's up above my head
Hanging by a little thread
BORIS THE SPIDER
BORIS THE SPIDER
now he's dropped onto the floor
heading for the bedroom door
maybe he's as scared as me
wheres he gone now i cant see
BORIS THE SPIDER
BORIS THE SPIDER
Creepy crawly creepy crawly
Creepy creepy crawly crawly
(repeat til it fades back into lyrics)
there he is wrapped in a ball
doesn't seem to move at all
perhaps he's dead I"ll just make sure
pick this book up off the floor
BORIS THE SPIDER
BORIS THE SPIDER
( repeat chorus)
He's come to a sticky end
Dont think he will ever mend
Never more will he crawl round
He's embedded in the ground
BORIS THE SPIDER
BORIS THE SPIDER

| I Need You | |
|
Knowing
Is what people tell you
That you're thinking wrong
Embrace you,
But they really mean "So long"
You talk to them
They laugh aloud
Yet they run to you
In any crowd
Please talk to me again
I need you
We're dancing
We will come and dance near you
We want to learn
Let us come and sitar with you
Distort my ears when
The music's loud
Yet you raise your hatchet
In the yellow crowd
Please talk to me again
I need you
Knowing
Is what people tell you
That you're thinking wrong
Embrace you,
But they really mean "So long"
You talk to them
They laugh aloud
Yet they run to you
In any crowd
Please talk to me again
I need you

| Whiskey Man | |
|
Whiskey Man's my friend, he's with me nearly all the time
He always joins me when I drink, and we get on just fine
Nobody has ever seen him, I'm the only one
Seemingly I must be mad, Insanity is fun
If that's the way it's done
Doctors say he's just a figment of my twisted mind
If they can't see my Whiskey Man they must be going blind
Two men dressed in white collected me two days ago
They said there's only room for one and Whiskey Man can't go
Whiskey Man will waste away if he's left on his own
I can't even ring him cause he isn't on the phone
Hasn't got a home
Life is very gloomy in this little padded cell
It's a shame there wasn't room for Whiskey Man as well
Whiskey Man's my friend,he's with me nearly all the time
He always joins me when I drink and we get on just fine
Just Fine

| Don't Look Away | |
|
Don't go and hide
Yesterday you were my girlfiend
If you do
My inside goes around and around in a whirlwind
There's a stone in my shoe
So I can't catch you up
My head's in a lion's mouth
Wants to eat me up
Right here today
Don't look away
I've always been true
And I still love you
So don't look away
There's a lot you can do
To get me away
You've got to stay
Don't look away
Don't look away
I once heard you say
If I ever was down you would help me
Now my head's being chewed up
You pretend that you don't see
There's a stone in my shoe
So I can't catch you up
My head's in a lion's mouth
Wants to eat me up
Right here today
Don't look away
I've always been true
And I still love you
So don't look away
There's a lot you can do
To get me away
You've got to stay
Don't look away
Don't look away
I've always been true
And I still love you
So don't look away
There's a lot you can do
To get me away
You've got to stay
Don't look away
Don't look away
Don't look away
Don't look away
Don't look away

| See My Way | |
|
Some way, some day, I'll find a way
To make you see my way
Even if you don't think like I do
You know that it's true
It's your mind that I seek
Tried so hard to make me think my point of view was bad
Although at times when you kept on I thought that I was mad
I'm glad it's goodbye
You don't have to ask why
Come back another day
Come back when you see my way
You see my way
Tried so hard to make me think my point of view was bad
Although at times when you kept on I thought that I was mad
Some way, some day, I'll find a way
To make you see my way
I'm glad it's goodbye
You don't have to ask why
Come back another day
Come back when you see my way
You see my way
You see my way

| So Sad About Us | |
|
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 la la la
So sad about us
So sad about us
Sad that the news is out now
Sad, suppose we can't turn back now
Sad about us
So bad about us
So bad about us
Bad - never meant to break up
Bad - suppose we'll never make up
Bad about us
Apologies mean nothing
When the damage is done
But I can't switch off my loving
Like you can't switch off the sun
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 la la la
La la la la la la la la la la
La la la la la la la la la la
So sad about us
So sad about us
Sad - never meant to break up
Sad - suppose we'll never make up
Sad about us

| Happy Jack | |
|
Happy Jack wasn't old, but he was a man
He lived in the sand at the Isle of Man
The kids would all sing, he would take the wrong key
So they rode on his head on their furry donkey
The kids couldn't hurt Jack
They tried and tried and tried
They dropped things on his back
And lied and lied and lied and lied and lied
But they couldn't stop Jack, or the waters lapping
And they couldn't prevent Jack from feeling happy
But they couldn't stop Jack, or the waters lapping
And they couldn't prevent Jack from feeling happy
The kids couldn't hurt Jack
They tried and tried and tried
They dropped things on his back
And lied and lied and lied and lied and lied
But they couldn't stop Jack, or the waters lapping
And they couldn't prevnt Jack form feeling happy
(I Saw Ya!!!)
