| (Royston Langdon) * | |
| While traveling in | |
| New Zealand one summer, | |
| Roy was caught in an earthquake and wrote a song about it. | |
| This song is one out of several that | |
| Roy wrote during his trip. | |
| The last two lines are a joke between the band members and stand for an | |
| English delicacy.* | |
| It's funny how we think that things are one way | |
| But they will always be that way somehow | |
| Back when | |
| I was a boy | |
| I knew that someday | |
| I'll learn my lesson and we'll have learned it now (Chorus) | |
| Whoa people are crazy | |
| And I know why | |
| Keeping it on if we'll only try | |
| Don't wait for heaven's sake | |
| For the Earthquake | |
| It's funny how we leave the blues behind you | |
| You can take them with you when you go | |
| Laughing like a child without a reason | |
| And I shout for the greatest show on | |
| Earth (Chorus) x 3 | |
| The Earthquake, quake, quake | |
| Beans on toast! | |
| Beans on toast! |
