[medley song 1]
ever since i was a young man, i played subbuteo
for years and years i played it, but then i didn’t know
about the pinball table at the local disco
it was love at first sight, really
mister, can i buy your table?

it was so good, it was so right
the pinball table was the ideal height for a subbuteo ground
also, it made an interesting sound when you scored a goal

the owner of the club said i could take it, right away
and in exchange for 25p, he would deliver on sat~rday
i borrowed a tape~measure, it was too good to be real
i went and said, “crikey, mister! i think you’ve got yourself a deal”

it was so good, it was so right
glass~top sophistication, glitter~covered with a super~flashing light
completely out of sight, well in the next room

ever since i was a young man, i played subbuteo
thanks to that pinball table, my back doesn’t hurt at all
my asthma is much better, ’cause i can clean up to the walls
instead of collecting dust mites on the bedroom floor
i can concentrate much better, on improving my average goal scores
it was so good, it was so right
the pinball table was the ideal height for a subbuteo ground
also, it made an interesting sound when you scored a goal

[medley song 2]
like a shot out the blue, you waved flags and said
“we’ve ran out of carrot cake, cheesecake, chocolate and bread.”
ah, what’s the point, i can’t go on anymore
perhaps we should buy a new car
i’ll get the paper, or maybe that’s going too far

and with the money we’ll save
we could go to a rave
and the people we meet when we’re dancing along
might tell us where we’re going wrong
we think, therefore we need to eat
but we never found the time or the kitchen

couldn’t see daylight for the sun
shining through the windowpanes
and salt spray, it lights the way
to see better things aren’t on the horizon
the target’s moving and ever~changing

perhaps i shouldn’t bother rearranging
the furniture’s lacking inspiration
i can sympathise with their point of view
it gets no better than this
this is as good as it gets
[medley song 3]
where are you now?
you were so much better at this song malarkey
my stomach’s still bad
i guess it was the only thing we had in common

i remember the time that we met and the day
in a pub by the sea, it was late on thursday
you’d eaten far too many, [?] i think
you were trying to hide, socially, in a drink

but where are you now?
you can have your job back any time, you know
’cause it’s just as fun
listening to us taking part in any show

all of the german fans, they said to me
“where’s that young man who eats too many sweets?
the one who sings songs better than you can do
can’t you persuade him to come back soon?”

and where are you now?
yeah, i guess we’re oh~so missing you so much

[medley song 4]
i don’t need another confrontation
with walt disney and his amusing dogs
it seems unlikely they were ever canine
or ever drove a bus
’cause charlie drives the bus, each day
to chorleywood, except on his holidays
seen it all and hates smart dogs, too
oh, he’s quite mad

i don’t need another explanation
as to why the buses come in threes
charlie says it’s to do with religion
and god knows what he means

’cause charlie drives the bus, each day
to chorleywood, except on sat~rdays
when he stays at home, eating crisps
oh, he’s quite mad

[medley song 5]
this time, i’d like a cup of tea, that’s actually drinkable and wet
that last infusion you served was as far removed as you can get
just like the coffee that reminded me of stale celery you gave me yesterday
i don’t mean to be nasty, ’cause it’s really very simple

when coffee tastes nicer if there’s coffee in the pot
and the sugar really came from a sugar cane plant
at some point, boil the water and remember that the milk
should come from cows and not a dulux factory
you may laugh, but it sure tastes like paint to me

did i order a cup of oil with a hint of sea spray?
this drink has changed my perceptions in a radical way
now a spade is not a spade, but whatever i want it to be
so take this spear and jackson and keep the change, well honestly

when coffee tastes this good, who needs friends?
the coffee bean monopoly officially ends
decaffeinated straw, stewed with bran flakes, blends
to make a drink as satisfying as this
a brown liquid that tends to make you sad

h~llo, this is a dog
this is two dogs
two dogs and a lambretta
this is the vietnam war
this is the royal family
this 16:35 paddington to reading, pittsburgh
this is two dogs, a lambretta and ken livingstone

coffee tastes nicer if there’s coffee in the pot
and the sugar really came from a sugar cane plant
at some point, boil the water and remember that the milk
should come from cows and not a dulux factory
you may laugh, but it sure tastes like that to me

[medley song 6]
walking home from the club, last night
run down by a black london bus
radiant heaters were everywhere
they stole my trousers and they burned my hair and they said

“the bloke upstairs wants a word with you
it sounds unlikely, but i tell you, it’s true
just take the stairway that goes into the blue”
i said, “it’s okay, i’m just passing through”

funny lizard creatures were barking at me
they were dangerous, i knew, it said so on the tv
they sing like a mule and they dance like a bee
and i know that it’s true, ’cause david attenborough told me

i climbed the stairs for an hour or two
till i reached a remarkable view
a rerun of a film shown on bbc
made in the 1960s, probably at elstree

i felt so sorry for the actors and crew
but there was very little they could do
standing by for when they were needed
in case the bbc decides to repeat it

the clock on the wall is running backwards and fast
and they serve me with tea, at every other half~past
and i’m seeing my life in black and white and reverse
like some czech animation, but a hundred times worse

come in, sit down, have another cup of tea
come in, sit down, have another cup of tea
come in, sit down, have another cup of tea
come in, sit down, have another cup of tea

come in, sit down, have another cup of tea
don’t be alarmed, this is only a dream
if it were for real, you’d do something for me
to return back home, make a [?] movie
that’s what i’d decree and you’d probably agree

so you could go back home and you could carry on
with purpose and reason and meaning and me

come in, sit down, have another cup of tea
come in, sit down, have another cup of tea
come in, sit down, have another cup of tea
come in, sit down, have another cup of tea

okay, that’s fine with me
i’ll quit the pharmacy
just drop me off as near to croydon, [?], england
and i’ll be resourceful, artistic, filmy
