Lyrics

[00:00.00]
[00:14.07] I can see very well
[00:22.36] There's a boat on the reef with a broken back
[00:27.95] And I can see it very well
[00:36.67] There's a joke and I know it very well
[00:43.55] It's one of those that I told you long ago
[00:49.43] Take my word I'm a madman don't you know
[00:58.68] Once a fool had a good part in the play
[01:05.50] If it's so would I still be here today
[01:11.23] It's quite peculiar in a funny sort of way
[01:16.32] They think it's very funny everything I say
[01:21.44] Get a load of him, he's so insane
[01:28.45] You better get your coat dear
[01:31.66] It looks like rain
[01:36.05] We'll come again next Thursday afternoon
[01:43.59] The In-laws hope they'll see you very soon
[01:49.99] But is it in your conscience that you're after
[01:57.50] Another glimpse of the madman across the water
[02:06.82]
[03:12.22] I can see very well
[03:18.99] There's a boat on the reef with a broken back
[03:24.56] And I can see it very well
[03:32.77] There's a joke and I know it very well
[03:39.17] It's one of those that I told you long ago
[03:44.82] Take my word I'm a madman don't you know
[03:49.95] The ground's a long way down but I need more
[03:55.66] Is the nightmare black
[03:57.58] or are the windows painted
[04:01.22] Will they come again next week
[04:04.81] Can my mind really take it
[04:10.07] We'll come again next Thursday afternoon
[04:15.83] The In-laws hope they'll see you very soon
[04:23.38] But is it in your conscience that you're after
[04:30.70] Another glimpse of the madman across the water
[04:41.13]
