hey , hey , night fights day
there’s food for the tinkers and
the innocents can all live slowly

my , my , the sky will cry
jewels for the thirsty and
the guilty one’s can all die slowly
all die slowly
and all the world is biscuit – shaped
it’s just for me to feed my face
and i can see , hear , smell , touch , taste
and i’ve got one , two , three , four , five
senses working overtime

and birds might fall from black skies
and bullies might give you black eyes
but to me they’re very very beautiful ( englands glory )
beautiful ( a striking beauty )
and all the world is football shaped
it’s just for me to kick in space
and i can see , hear , smell , touch , taste
and i’ve got one , two , three , four , five
senses working overtime
trying to take all this in
i’ve got one , two , three , four five
senses working overtime
try to tell the difference
between the goods and crimes
dirt and treasure and there’s
one , two , three , four , five
senses working overtime . . . . . . .
