The Lyrics of the fourth Album
Clockwork Mouse
l-SUN NINETEEN- Four is the Emperor Maximum altitude is three Twain forces awaiting Where the Hanged Man he sleeps Two dice they
rattle Into company/ Staring at Anubis gates Where help always comes too late Black
Brothers Dark Knight Templar Squad Sum Nineteen and out to God/ A book of
Engines built to drive Or search gyrating to their destination Rotating wheels
turn into place At our computation/ Legions of men in clockwork motion As
planets revolve in like devotion Opportunities for a channel To tell a
fortune The mood is right to cast a potion Microcosm to Macrocosm
2-THIS COUNTRY-Strapped to the mast This Bandit Country it is vast Three floors and
pubs to last Shops by village or by town Petrol station coming down Battle
cruisers going round High Plains Drifter into Sound/ Looming high over Banbury
We in Culworth Country be Hounds aplenty
know the score We in people strike terror A long time dead We work for more/ Conjuring
I with my books Steer us safely from the rocks A book of dice or tile way of
the world- Full of stories or so I’m told For battle or gaming like days of old
Furry dice for your rear view mirror Conversation between you and her From a
Witch King to a Warlock's Taroo The Twin Towers of Me and You! A Harsh Book of
Geometries- Precise- Astronomies- Poker
dice eventually Filled with Solstices and Equinoxes Sunset casts a swathe
between the trees As spheres revolve in their galaxies A Book of musical notes-
EADGBE- To unravel their mystery In the octaves we find our dreams
3-CLOCKWORK MOUSE- Heavy Metal correspondent For The Four Shires
Magazine Stretch Limousine! Chang! Chang! When Magick rings Yes we are Fairy
King and Queen By artifice our comedies mean She is like Orlando on the scene
Out in the jungle far from tile Axletree Did my lady love meet me In the City
of the Pyramids Then out by the fields Galadriel a-skipping at my heels/ From
the City we descend Upon the red rose we do depend From hippy shake to Warlord
make A meaning for our toils/ Clockwork Mouse scurrying through Halls and
doorways Portals too Imagination in
different rooms Like a movie to unfold From a tree in Oxford in days of old Like
a slide show behind me The pictures go Little monster on the wheels Hair
a-flying in the breeze Lost and found
with street appeal On the scene at the Reem Hotel We can take you up that far
as well Four giants roar At compass points Gathering up here in North No
Familiars is the score “Love you” opens the door “Big Kiss” gets me floored!
4-JUMP SHIP-
She's at her pleasure again The Doll's House has jumped up just then Get the
cat fed and return To Babylon ready to burn Everything is trivialised by Magick
The train will get me there just quick Lust finds its moments for me Out upon
the High See/ If you've seen one Then you seen them all Perhaps not The mind Is
what the futures got Lazy wind it cuts right through you Jump ship when love
has called/ We two have a mobile thing Where are you now? What's the sting?
Don't forget to apple bring Let’s chase them up Ring ring ring!/ Straight
from the pages of a magazine My
5-NEVER THERE- As you move your King around the board A young boy is getting taught
The whys and wherefores of the
world And how we operate so bold/ Like Chess you slide me to another square He
marvels at our finesse there Headshrinkers and monkeys beware Take to religion if you dare!/ Our lands and
conquests are out there The White Knight talking backwards And driving the Red
Queen spare As a woman goes in pursuit Of the treasures of her lost man
Mysteries start...A living work of Art The can shot on the minor charts A
journey into her man' s heart...Star Inn Royal Oak Red Lion beyond a joke Slide
me to another square Now I’m here I’m never there! Three vultures Lear as they
dare Swinging on the creepers through the jungle of days She through many lives
picks at her dates Cat amongst the pigeons tempting fate No matter what
happened Two thousand years before She Rapunzel knows the score Men a-climbing
up her hair If they dare beware don't stare Cinderella she will take you there
Goldilocks and the Tempest if you care
6-SHPWRECKED QUEEN- All done with mirrors Layer upon layer you can see
"Twelfth Night. Will!" she
calls to me She steps out of the water And onto the beach Courageously A new
life on the far side And strangers to meet Pirates perhaps Or musicians sweet
Horseman galloping to the beat Fool’s gold upon the street Shipwrecked Queen
jumps to her feet/ Chequered floors at
Court we seek Like baboons we watch and screetch Newspaper taxies observe our
speech In the realms of Fantasy What channel is that on my TV?/ In a formal
garden of topiary trees What is your disease
Sunburst yellow belies the city streets Blazing orange fee1s the need Three
crispy fivers fifteen quid Kiss-chase Or am I outbid?/ Hide and seek from bar
to bar And street to street Taxi to a spaceship when we meet Where women beam
up That you'd never see From a different
galaxy We rule the roost over coffee upstairs near the trees
7-BETTER THAN THE WEATHER- Try it on in yellow try it in the green Try it on in
any of the colours you have seen Try it like a clotheshorse from a magazine Try
it on when Trinny and Suzannah will have been Try it to repel all boarders from
the Fairy Queen…/ Clockwork
mouse pawed by a cat A tick that says it's gone through Just. like that
Daybreak that's no longer survival But a drive-thru fact/ Destination booty
Wherever it may take us Time off for good behavior Do I lose your attention No
never For the rest of our lives I’ll try to be better than the weather/ Play
Ariel play Just for you With what I say A motley fool in the forest With you
today!/ I’m arguing on the phone Won't you clear my plastic card Wardancer when
I hope for more for her She wants to know I'm Sure All the time This little
hassle is a crime!/ My skull it glows with rock and roll Forever dead Immortal
soul Once more round the block we go Riding on her rolls Four to ensure in safe passage she will go Longtime after
I've returned home Stare at the crossbones before you go… .
8-CROUPIER DEALS- Do as you would be
done by and give us hope to receive pages and pages flickering Past upon
the screen “Hung up on you” booming From your machine your Aerial this time
Sets the scene Muse while you gave to me A "Loved Up" tee Sorceress
in a jetstream Or I deny your p1easure Or disagree Tank Girl on combat spree/
Acted now though written down So many years before There are chinks in the
spacetime continuum I’m Sure Armed as her bodyguard we go Insatiable shopping
and eating I know Do we come again Or have we
been before I'm fairly sure/ Traffic lights in the bubble-gum factory Let
us explore Jelly beans That I adore Seven
columns weekly wide Clockwork mice we run then hide Red Queen with her crown
a-tilt Surveys with pride what we have built
9-SWORD-
Up in lights And up in the sky But dark gothic To passers-by Crazy bastard
Prepare to fly Out to the menagerie!
Faith and fire Now mile high/ Ten thousand fairytale cottages but only one
"fairwaycottage.co.uk" under the sun/ Truce and Worry and Prudence
Were the last to fall An unfinished work
That says it all The Sword logo Flickers tall Fanning the flames That feed us
more Super salesman a fast one pulls Beggars banquet recording blues/ Our
legend precedes us As we start to tell Sing and shout And dance as well Flypast
overhead And party well Danger at bay For a successful spell Nightfall when
we're doing well Nightfall when we're doing well Swear undying love for who can
tell!
10-
11-FOUR CORNERS- Four corners of there are to see Flat the Earth it must be Not
spiraling dangerously Two tornadoes whirl at speed Infinite in complexity A
twisting line tile numbers be Juggling in powers of three If you have only just
switched on This has been going on all along Anima1s about they throng
spaceship Earth we bang a gong/ Put it all on number 14 In days of Art I like to dream Forty different highs
and lows On with the show on with the show/ AI Qaiida tyranny What of the
Afghan massive scene I never made it to the Wailing Wall Or Gethsemane But Golgotha did I brave to see Behind the
veil I dread to peep We're towelheads upon the beach Proud we streak past in
infamy News in briefs & upon page3 Mystic Meg in our country/ A different
cycle something new A different story in the view How we all divide our time
planets down to every sign The Sun it sets into the West With pinkest skies I’d
never guess/ Mobile Money Keys
Merry-Go-Round Charger Frenzy Petrol Camera Nano Countdown My Will she whispers
As we return from the Sea Town and Country it has to be Concrete jungle sprawls
like mad Even in Africa where we've bad A bit brought down in London town But
glassy fields are coming round Exhausting finding her a living But Mortal
Combat can be forgiving Sister Verity gave me a cat My daughter now a new
beginning
