THE TOKEY TONES : BUTTERFLY - Lyrics



 
 

1/ Glitter & Paste ~ Glitter and paste / she dreams of some far away
place / with xylophones and big trombones / and an orchestra of
locusts / glitter and paste / leather and lace / they stumble down
Melrose place / with castanets and a string quartet / and liquored
carol singers / glitter and paste.


2/ Summerwind ~ Summer wind blow / summer wind blow / again / it leads
me to the end.


3/ Honeydew ~ Honeydew / make believe that the things in your head /
are real / darling you / dream about / places never seen by us / make
us feel / young again / make us feel / our hearts again / baby you /

make believe that the things in your head / are real / make us feel /
young again / make us feel / our hearts again / your life is kept / in
a world of pairs / your life is kept / in a world of pez.


4/ Moon & So On ~ Gather your families and soon / together were going
to the moon / well drive in our moon buggies and / jump around like
neil armstrongs ghost / box up your cats and racoons / together were
going to the moon / well bathe on the shores of a / moon crater all
luna day and night.


5/ Yoghurt & Vinegar ~ Sitting on the edge of a break-down / shes got
no worries / but hes in a hurry and / I can not supply / drifting
across the playground / yoghurt and vinegar / Im feeling so thin again
/ and I cannot supply / come back to it / feel it take your hand and
bring you back / some day youll verify it / let it go / ventilate the
fiery meltdown / it brings us together / the heat and the weather
which / I cannot supply / come back to it / feel it take your hand and
bring you back / someday youll verify it / let it go.


6/ Juxtapose ~ Fa fa fa fa fa fa fa fa fa fa fa fa fa.

observatory / theyll teach us that planets arent stars / and that the
futures in astronomy / come to the observatory / cause inside its dark

trying to understand the universe / when all I care / to understand /
is the two of us / come to....


8/ Cinema ~ She takes control / in a jilted lovers role / he must
