HAIR
03:02

CHORUS: Hair
Why is it there?
People stop and people stare
Everywhere
When I walk out of the door
It flows from my armpits and down to the floor
When I go out in the street
It grows from my head down to my feet
When I smile it gets in my mouth
I'm so hairy west, north, east and south
When I eat it gets in my food
I'm so hairy I never get nude
No-one can tell if I'm happy or sad
No-one can tell if I'm good or I'm bad
I brush my body and I brush my teeth
U'm hairy above and I'm hairy beneath
When I look it gets in my eyes
I see the world through a hairy disguise
When I cry it wipes up my tears
I've been hairy for months and for years

CAT SCRATCH FEVER
03:04
|
|||
Playing with puss in the garden
I have got nothing to fear
Sweet little pussycat loves me forever
And never would cause me to shed any tear
We dig small holes and we leap after butterflies
Birds flutterby in the afternoon afternoon
And then...pussy claws
And she scratches me
Puss is so sorry she hurt me
She has that look in her
So I forgave her, to return the favour
She gives me a lick where the blood trickles by
We play 'til lunchthen we go the kitchen
Where mother is fixing a sandwich with ham and cheese
Then...pussy claws
And she scratches me
Civilized pussies don't hurt you
They're like your bestest of friends
I tell her that as she sits on the mat
By the end of my bed
And we both make amends
We read a book about lions in the jungle
With pictures of jauguars going for the jugular
Then...pussy teeth
Then...pussy claws
Then...pussy smiles

THUNDER BOX
03:12
|

Thunder box
Doing the Thunder box
Bring the rainmaker
(Boom Boom)
There’s going to be a storm tonight
Make the earth shake
(Boom Boom)
Jumping up and down all through the night
CHORUS: We’re going to do a dance
Like a lightning storm
Never in the same place twice
Move it all around
At the speed of sound
Come on everybody
Don’t play nice
Thunder box
Doing the thunder box
Wind grows higher
(Boom Boom)
There’s going to be a storm tonight
Your feet are on fire
Boom Boom)
Jumping up and down all through the night
Bring it on
Bring it on
Thunder rolling
(Boom Boom)
There’s going to be a storm tonight
Devil patrolling
Jumping up and down till morning light

YOU'RE A DRIP
03:34
|
|||
1. You’re a drip
You join
With others
Of your kind
From the lakes
To streams
To oceans
You come as rain
To earth
From dark clouds
Above
Always in
A downward
Motion
We try and catch
Your drippiness
We need it
For life
We try and squeeze
You into
A series
Of pipes
You’re a drip
You’re a drip
You’re a drip
2. We turn on
Our taps
And out you
Just come
We’re lazy
We like it
That way
And when we’ve had enough
It’s easy
We just turn you off
And trapped in
Our plumbing
You stay
You seem so clean
We drink you
We wash and
We spray
And when we’ve finished
Unplug you
You just go
Away
You’re a drip
You’re a drip
You’re a drip
Fish swim in you
Dive down deep
3. We call you drink
And liquid
And water
And bath
And puddle
And dampness
And rain
We sip and
We swallow
Eventually
We flush
Thanks for coming
Nice to see you
Again
Where do you go
Where are you headed
So moistly
And wet
Out to the sea
And oceans
And rivers
I bet
You’re a drip
You’re a drip
You’re a drip

TUG
02:16
|
|||
If you want to pull a boat
Then who do you call
Tug Tug
If you want to push and shove
With your back to the wall
Tug tug
Get it to the harbour
Then get it out
Forward or backwards
Inside out
CHORUS: We just can’t do without our
Tug Tug
Don’t doubt it
Sound the alarm
And full steam ahead
Tug Tug
Take it or leave it
You’ll go where you’re led
Tug Tug
Who’s got the power
Who’s got control
Harbourmaster says
It’s time to rock’n’roll
Tug tug
Salt in the water
Salt in the air
Tug Tug
Brave little boat
She just don’t care
Tug Tug
Could be an iceberg
Could be a whale
Could be a taniwha
Lashing with its tail
We love our
Tug Tug

FAR AWAY
02:40
|
|||
Far away
The ship sets sail
On to foreign islands
CHORUS: Time to leave
Time to go
Cos the tides tells me so
Come with me
On a wing and a prayer
Let the winds take us far
Far away
Floating gently
Out to sea
Dolphins leap beside us
Up we go
And down the other side
Fast then slow
This rollercoaster ride
Storm clouds pass
The ship sails on
Flying fish to guide us

MEDUSA
03:20
|
|||
They call her Medusa
The Belle of the Ball
They wine her and dine her
But she has no brains at all
CHORUS: Medusa
Medusa
The Belle of the Ball
She glides to the ballroom
She looks like a queen
She twirls and she dances
As if she’s in a dream
She’s pretty and she’s dangerous
She’s like a wish come true
She is just a jellyfish
Her body is see-through
They call her Medusa
The Belle of the Ball
She goes with the flow
But she has no heart at all

TIME GOES BY
03:36
|
|||
Bury me under a tree
Let the great moonbeam
Smile down on me
Bury me under a stone
Let the birds sing
So I won’t be alone
CHORUS: I will rise
Just like a sunflower
My face to the day
I will fly
Through the effortless hours
That get tick tocked away
Time goes by
Show me the mountains and streams
Let me ride the wind
To the land of your dreams
Show me more
Secrets now spoken
Will unlock the door
Look at the ground down below
Smallest spring seedlings
Are starting to grow
Look at the stars up above
For millions of years
They have witnessed our love
