*Astronomy Domine

Lime and limpid green , a second scene

A fight between the blue you once knew.

Floating down , the sound resounds

Around the icy waters underground

Jupiter and Saturn , Oberon , Miranda

And Titania , Neptune , Titan.

Stars can frighten.

Blinding signs flap,

Flicker, flicker , flicker blam. Pow , pow.

Stairway scare Dan Dare who's there?

Lime and limpid green

The sounds surrounds the icy waters underground

Lime and limpid green

  The sounds surrounds the icy waters underground.

*Lucifer Sam

Lucifer Sam , siam cat.

Always sitting by your side

Always by your side.

That cat's something I can't explain.

Ginger , ginger you're a witch

You're the left side

He's the right side

Oh , no!

That cat's something I can't explain.

Lucifer go to sea

Be a hip cat 

Be a ship's cat

Somewhere , anywhere

That cat's something I can't explain.

At night prowling sifting sand

Hiding around on the ground

He'll be found when you're around

That cat's something I can't explain.

*Matilda Mother

There was a king who ruled the land

His majesty was in command

With silver eyes the scarlet eagle

Showers silver on the people

Oh Mother , tell me more

Why'd ya have to leave me there

Hanging in my infant air

Waiting?

You only have to read the lines

They're scribbly black and everything shines.

Across the stream with wooden shoes

With bells to tell the king the news

A thousand misty riders climb up

Higher once upon a time.

Wandering and dreaming

The words have different meaning.

Yes they did.

For all the time spent in that room

The doll's house , darkness , old perfume
