[00:09.30]	Hey, hey,
[00:10.86]	The clouds are whey.
[00:12.21]	There's straw for the donkeys,
[00:13.86]	And the innocents can all sleep safely,
[00:14.67]	All sleep safely.
[00:15.15]	My, my,
[00:15.27]	Sun is pie.
[00:26.94]	There's fodder for the cannons,
[00:28.11]	And the guilty ones can all sleep safely,
[00:29.43]	All sleep safely.
[00:38.70]	And all the world is football-shaped
[00:41.82]	It's just for me to kick in space
[00:45.66]	And I can see, hear, smell, touch, taste
[00:49.68]	And I've got one, two, three, four, five
[00:50.34]	Senses working overtime
[00:52.89]	Trying to take this all in.
[00:53.40]	I've got one, two, three, four, five
[00:53.97]	Senses working overtime
[01:09.72]	Trying to taste the difference
[01:10.29]	'Tween a lemon and a lime
[01:11.07]	Pain and the pleasure
[01:13.89]	And the church bells softly chime.
[01:16.20]	Hey hey,
[01:27.30]	Night fights day.
[01:28.95]	There's food for the thinkers,
[01:31.23]	And the innocents can all live slowly,
[01:36.18]	All live slowly.
[01:42.00]	My, my,
[01:42.12]	The sky will cry
[01:43.77]	Jewels for the thirsty,
[01:45.81]	And the guilty one's can all die slowly ,
[01:47.16]	All die slowly.
[01:56.79]	And all the world is biscuit-shaped,
[01:59.64]	It's just for me to feed my face,
[02:03.51]	And I can see, hear, smell, touch, taste,
[02:09.48]	And I've got one, two, three, four, five,
[02:10.14]	Senses working overtime
[02:21.72]	Trying to take this all in.
[02:22.20]	I've got one, two, three, four, five,
[02:22.77]	Senses working overtime
[02:26.79]	Trying to taste the difference,
[02:27.84]	'Tween a lemon and a lime,
[02:30.87]	Pain and the pleasure,
[02:32.25]	And the church bells softly chime,
[02:43.74]	And birds might fall from black skies,
[02:51.18]	And bullies might give you black eyes,
[02:58.68]	And busses might skid on black ice,
[03:06.09]	But to me it's very, very beautiful ˇ
[03:12.09]	(England's glory!)
[03:12.48]	Beautiful ˇ
[03:12.75]	(A striking beauty!)
[03:39.90]	And all the world is football-shaped,
[03:42.93]	It's just for me to kick in space,
[03:46.59]	And I can see, hear, smell, touch, taste,
[03:48.42]	And I've got one, two, three, four, five,
[03:49.08]	Senses working overtime
[03:54.69]	Trying to take this all in
[03:55.20]	I've got one, two, three, four, five
[03:55.77]	Senses working overtime
[04:10.80]	Trying to tell the difference
[04:11.34]	'Tween the goods and grime
[04:14.25]	Turds and treasure
[04:15.09]	And there's one, two, three, four, five
[04:16.11]	Senses working overtime
[04:18.57]	Trying to take this all in
[04:19.05]	I've got one, two, three, four, five
[04:19.62]	Senses working overtime
[04:33.78]	Trying to taste the difference
[04:35.22]	'Tween a lemon and a lime
[04:36.03]	Pain and the pleasure,
[04:39.84]	And the church bells softly chime.
