lyrics

Lucy wants to buy a plot in the sky, but she doesn't want to buy a plot that's up to high.
She wants something to be true, the little green men have got as much chance as you.
Oh dear God what did you say or is she talking to herself again
Billy was a kid that had lost his way so he went and found himself a war in which he could play.
Chewing all the excess he bit off he gets down on his knees and he prays to God.
Oh dear Lord what did you say or is he talking to himself again

Ice water bath water water cold mirror razor blade, the mirror in the bathroom is cracked. We've got black ghetto's white ghetto's piggy in the middle all the children and the gangster get whacked.

It's sole destroying it's such a waste so predictable and in poor taste, a crying shame there for the grace, it's unforgivable to teach your kids to hate, this is the 51st state

Sky flowers don't take your eye off the ball

Hold back the tide set the sun fill the rivers let them run to the sea to the waves to the salty salty spray and the sand 'neath your feet making bricks making streets moving on moving up try your best to get above.

Looking down upon creation, one big happy loved up nation finally the realisation that we just need it other...YEAH

Grass and the mud and the bugs and the sunshine on your face there's a crack in a place in a place that leaves a space where we live where we die when we move on and we shine burning up burning bright burning bright just like the SKY FLOWERS don't take your eye off the ball
