The Lunatics Have Taken Over the Asylum by Fun Boy 3
I see a clinic full of cynics Who want to twist the peoples' wrist They're watching every move we make We're all included on the list
The lunatics have taken over the asylum The lunatics have taken over the asylum
No nuclear the cowboy told us And who am i to disagree 'Cos when the madman flips the switch The nuclear will go for me
The lunatics have taken over the asylum The lunatics have taken over the asylum
I've seen the faces of starvation But i just can not see the points 'Cos there's so much food here today That no one wants to take away
The lunatics have taken over the asylum The lunatics have taken over the asylum The lunatics have taken over the asylum - take away my right to choose The lunatics have taken over the asylum - take away my point of view The lunatics have taken over the asylum The lunatics have taken over the asylum - take away my dignity, Take these things away from me The lunatics have taken over the asylum The lunatics have taken over the asylum - take away my family, Take away the right to speak The lunatics have taken over the asylum take away my point of view, Take away my right to choose

Can't Take My Eyes Off You Frankie Valli
You're just too good to be true. Can't take my eyes off you. You'd be like Heaven to touch. I wanna hold you so much. At long last love has arrived And I thank God I'm alive. You're just too good to be true. Can't take my eyes off you.
Pardon the way that I stare. There's nothing else to compare. The sight of you leaves me weak. There are no words left to speak, But if you feel like I feel, Please let me know that it's real. You're just too good to be true. Can't take my eyes off you.
I love you, baby, And if it's quite alright, I need you, baby, To warm a lonely night. I love you, baby. Trust in me when I say: Oh, pretty baby, Don't bring me down, I pray. Oh, pretty baby, now that I found you, stay And let me love you, baby. Let me love you.
You're just too good to be true. Can't take my eyes off you. You'd be like Heaven to touch. I wanna hold you so much. At long last love has arrived And I thank God I'm alive. You're just too good to be true. Can't take my eyes off you.
I love you, baby, And if it's quite alright, I need you, baby, To warm a lonely night. I love you, baby. Trust in me when I say: Oh, pretty baby, Don't bring me down, I pray. Oh, pretty baby, now that I found you, stay

Magnets, the Vapors
The motorcade is never-ending The marshalls wave their wheel appeal Only some of them are breathing Only some know what to feel
The generals grit their teeth and smile Just for a little while Until they think they can't be seen Then pour contempt through eyes that seem like magnets Small and hard Magnets
They rolled away down through the arches The wet streets shined confetti-lined The sun burns everything it touches The motorcade dissolves the mind
The madman grits his teeth and smiles Just for a little while As though he knows he can't be seen Then pours contempt through eyes that seem like magnets Small and hard Just like magnets Out of the crowd Just like magnets Kennedy's children all magnets
Waste of time at the Alamo All the kids singing “Go Johnny, go Johnny, go!” All the cars parked out of view And someone on a roof with a job to do
But the hotdogs sell and the cameras roll It's a star situation, but it's out of control There's a man with a message and it's written on lead There's a man who is god, but god is dead
Still we grit out teeth and smile Just for a little while As though we think we can be seen We pour contempt through eyes that seem like magnets Small and hard Just like magnets Out of a crowd Just like magnets Kennedy's children all magnets Magnets staring up Just like magnets Burning the sky Just like magnets Kennedy's children all magnets
Magnetized boys, boys, boys

Whole Wide World
When I was a young boy My mama said to me There's only one girl in the world for you And she probably lives in Tahiti
I'd go the whole wide world I'd go the whole wide world Just to find her
Or maybe she's in the Bahamas Where the Carribean sea is blue Weeping in a tropical moonlit night Because nobody's told her 'bout you
I'd go the whole wide world I'd go the whole wide world Just to find her I'd go the whole wide world I'd go the whole wide world Find out where they hide her
Why am I hanging around in the rain out here Trying to pick up a girl Why are my eyes filling up with these lonely tears When there're girls all over the world
Is she lying on a tropical beach somewhere Underneath the tropical sun Pining away in a heatwave there Hoping that I won't be long
I should be lying on that sun-soaked beach with her Caressing her warm brown skin And then in a year or maybe not quite We'll be sharing the same next of kin
I'd go the whole wide world I'd go the whole wide world Just to find her I'd go the whole wide world I'd go the whole wide world Find out where they hide her

"Godzilla" Lyrics
With a purposeful grimace and a terrible sound He pulls the spitting high tension wires down. Helpless people on subway trains Scream for God as he looks in on them. He picks up a bus and he throws it back down As he wades through the buildings toward the center of town.
Oh no, they say he's got to go— Go, go, Godzilla . . . Oh no, there goes Tokyo— Go, go, Godzilla . . .
Rinji news o moshiagemasu! Godzilla ga Ginza hoomen e mukatte imasu! Daishkyu hinan smege kudasai!
Oh no, they say he's got to go— Go, go, Godzilla . . . Oh no, there goes Tokyo— Go, go, Godzilla . . .
History shows again and again How nature points out the folly of men . . . Godzilla!

I always hated that "force of nature" nonsense of the 80s and 90s films. There is nothing natural about Gojira. And a living thing is not a force.

Boat drinks (i really thought he was singing "Cold Drinks")
By: jimmy buffett 1979 Boat drinks Boys in the band ordered boat drinks Visitors scored on the home rink Everything seems to be wrong
Lately, newspaper mentioned cheap air fare I gotta to fly to saint somewhere Im close to bodily harm
Twenty degrees and the hockey games on Nobody cares they are way too far gone Screamin boat drinks, something to keep em all warm
This mornin, I shot six holes in my freezer I think I got cabin fever Somebody sound the alarm
Id like to go where the pace of lifes slow Could you beam me somewhere mr. scott? Any ol place here on earth or in space You pick the century and Ill pick the spot
Oh I know, (I know) I should be leaving this climate I got a verse but cant rhyme it I gotta go where its warm
Boat drinks Waitress I need two more boat drinks Then Im headin south fore my dream shrinks
I gotta go where its warm (I gotta go where its warm) I gotta go where its warm (I gotta go where its warm) I gotta go where its warm!
I gotta go where there aint any snow Where there aint any blow cause my fin sinks so low I gotta go where its warm

ERNIE (THE FASTEST MILKMAN IN THE WEST)
Benny Hill - 1971
You could hear the hoof beats pound as they raced across the ground, And the clatter of the wheels as they spun 'round and 'round. And he galloped into market street, his badge upon his chest, His name was Ernie, and he drove the fastest milk cart in the west.
Now Ernie loved a widow, a lady known as Sue, She lived all alone in Liddley Lane at number 22. They said she was too good for him, she was haughty, proud and chic, But Ernie got his cocoa there three times every week.
They called him Ernie, (Ernieeeeeeeeeee) And he drove the fastest milk cart in the west.
She said she'd like to bathe in milk, he said, "All right, sweetheart," And when he'd finished work one night he loaded up his cart. He said, "D'you want it pasturize? 'Cause pasturize is best," She says, "Ernie, I'll be happy if it comes up to my chest."
That tickled old Ernie, (Ernieeeeeeeeeee) And he drove the fastest milk cart in the west.
Now Ernie had a rival, an evil-looking man, Called Two-Ton Ted from Teddington and he drove the baker's van. He tempted her with his treacle tarts and his tasty wholemeal bread, And when she seen the size of his hot meat pies it very near turned her head.
She nearly swooned at his macaroon and he said, "If you treat me right, You'll have hot rolls every morning and crumpets every night." He knew once she sampled his layer cake he'd have his wicked way, And all Ernie had to offer was a pint of milk a day.
Poor Ernie, (Ernieeeeeeeeeee) And he drove the fastest milk cart in the west.
One lunch time Ted saw Ernie's horse and cart outside her door, It drove him mad to find it was still there at half past four. And as he lept down from his van hot blood through his veins did course, And he went across to Ernie's cart and didn't half kick his 'orse.
Whose name was Trigger, (Triggerrrrrrrr) And he pulled the fastest milk cart in the west.
Now Ernie rushed out into the street, his gold top in his hand, He said, "If you wanna marry Susie you'll fight for her like a man." "Oh why don't we play cards for her?" he sneeringly replied, "And just to make it interesting we'll have a shilling on the side."
Now Ernie dragged him from his van and beneath the blazing sun, They stood there face to face, and Ted went for his bun. But Ernie was too quick, things didn't go the way Ted planned, And a strawberry-flavoured yogurt sent it spinning from his hand.
Now Susie ran between them and tried to keep them apart, And Ernie, he pushed her aside and a rock cake caught him underneath his heart. And he looked up in pained surprise and the concrete hardened crust, Of a stale pork pie caught him in the eye and Ernie bit the dust.
Poor Ernie, (Ernieeeeeeeeeee) And he drove the fastest milk cart in the west.
Ernie was only 52, he didn't wanna die, And now he's gone to make deliveries in that milk round in the sky. Where the customers are angels and ferocious dogs are banned, And the milkman's life is full of fun in that fairy, dairy land.
But a woman's needs are many fold and soon she married Ted, But strange things happened on their wedding night as they lay in their bed. Was that the trees a-rustling? Or the hinges of the gate? Or Ernie's ghostly gold tops a-rattling in their crate?
They won't forget Ernie, (Ernieeeeeeeeee) And he drove the fastest milk cart in the west.

GARDEN OF LOVE
Benny Hill
(Chorus) The sun and the rain fell from up above And landed on the earth below In my garden of love
Now there’s a rose for the way my spirits rose when we met A forget-me-not to remind me to remember not to forget A pine tree for the way I pined over you And an ash for the day I ashed you to be true
(Chorus) And the sun….
Now there’s a palm tree that we planted when we had our first date A turnip for the way you always used to turnip late Your mother and your cousin, Chris, they often used to come So, in their honour, I have raised a nice chris-an’-the-mum
(Chorus) And the sun….
Now there’s a beetroot for the day you said that you’d beetroot to me A sweet pea for the sweet way you always smiled at me But you had friends who needed you There was Ferdy, there was Liza So, just for them, I put down a load of ferdy-liza
(Chorus) And the sun….
But Gus the gardener’s left now and you went with him, too The fungus there reminds me of the fun Gus is having with you Now the rockery’s a mockery, with weeds it’s overgrown The fuchsia’s gone, I couldn’t face the fuchsia all alone
And my tears fell like raindrops from the sky above And poisoned all the flowers in my garden of love

HARVEST OF LOVE
Benny Hill - 1963
I rise at six and then I feed the chicks, And I'm feeling lonesome and blue, And when I milk the cow it seems, somehow, My thoughts keep straying to you. And as the horse and I plough the field nearby, Your memory I can't erase, For while I walk at the rear of the horse, my dear, I seem to see your face.
Chorus: I'm gonna sow the seed of deep devotion, fertilize it with emotion, Water it with warm desire and then I'll reap the harvest of love.
Yes, I was happy as a pig in spite of the way that you looked at me, When I met you at the village dance, But you was in the ladies' excuse me at the time, I thought I would never have a chance. But you let me walk you home across Blatt's Meadow, And I knew that with you I should be a hit, 'Cause I got an old cow to get up walk away, So that you'd have somewhere nice and dry to sit.
Chorus
Side by side we will take a ride, In my horse and buggy one day, And when the daylight ends and the night descends, And my horse'll run out of hay, And I will kiss your lips, those tempting lips, The only ones that can thrill me, And I would hold you tight 'neath the stars so bright, If the wife ever finds out she'll kill me.
Chorus to fade

GATHER IN THE MUSHROOMS
Benny Hill - 1961
Lucy went down on a farm, tried to milk a cow, Though she tried she couldn't get the hang of it somehow. The farmer looked at Lucy and murmured with a frown, "Well you just hang on tightly, gal, and she'll jump up and down."
Chorus: Oh, gather in the mushrooms, put 'em in a pot, Pop 'em in the oven an serve 'em piping ho-ot.
To make herself more beautiful she thought she'd bathe in milk, She said, "I'll have a bathful," to her milkman Jackie Wilke. He said, "Do you want it pasturized before I pour it in?" She said, "No, I'll be happy if it comes up to my chin."
Chorus
The farmer called at Lucy one dark and stormy night, She said, "You are too old for me because your hair is white." He looked into her eyes and then he knew he'd have to tell her, "There's snow upon the roof but there's a fire in the cellar!"
Chorus
She took him in the kitchen, she was his turtle dove, And then she started cooking dumplings on the stove. She wore a low cut dress, oh it was as green as clover, He jumped with glee 'cause he could see her dumplings boiling over.
Chorus
She said, "You give me half a crown I will read your palm," And then she saw his love line went half way up his arm. So now she's changed her prices, although she's just as willing, It's big fat men at two pound ten and little boys a shilling.
Oh, gather in the mushrooms, put 'em in a pot, Pop 'em in the oven and serve 'em piping hot, We're gonna gather in the mushrooms, put 'em in a pot, Pop 'em in the oven and serve them pi-ping ho-o-ot.

Stand And Deliver (Adam and the Ants)
I'm the dandy highwayman who you're too scared to mention I spend my cash on looking flash and grabbing your attention The devil take your stereo and your record collection! The way you look you'll qualify for next years old age pension!
Stand and deliver your money or your life! Try and use a mirror no bullet or a knife!
I'm the dandy highwayman so sick of easy fashion The clumsy boots, peek-a-boo roots that people think so dashing So whats the point of robbery when nothing is worth taking? Its kind of tough to tell a scruff the big mistake hes making
Stand and deliver your money or your life! Try and use a mirror no bullet or a knife!
And even though you fool your souls Your conscience will be mine All mine
Were the dandy highwaymen so tired of excuses Of deep meaning philosophies where only showbiz loses Were the dandy highwaymen and here's our invitation Throw your safety overboard and join our insect nation
Stand and deliver your money or your life! Try and use a mirror no bullet or a knife!
And even though you fool your souls Your conscience will be mine, all mine
Da diddley qa qa da diddley qa qa Da diddley qa qa da diddley qa qa
Stand and deliver your money or your life! Stand and deliver your money or your life!

"I Wish You Well"
I wish you well Couldn't you tell After all these years I wish you well And life in a world That you're dreaming of I wish you well I wish you love, oh I wish myself All of the above What made me think That I could survive All the wear and tear? It's not my thing To stand here and pose For some William Tell I wish you well I wish you love, oh I wish myself All of the above
If there was a better time I could not find it It's mine not yours And yours not mine And we couldn't hide it Don't take me on A ride with you It's a roller coaster The only time I look at you Is on a rock and roll poster I wish you well
Where are you now? Couldn't you see through The sweat and tears? I took my bow While you confirmed All my saddest fears I wish you well I wish you love, oh I wish myself The world I dream of I wish you well I wish you love, oh I wish myself All of the above All of the above All of the above All of the above

"Too Bad On Your Birthday"
I heard your best friend say You shouldn't have treated her that way You could've been a little bit kinder He didn't send you no note Didn't give you no gift He didn't even try to find ya
Well, that's too bad, too bad Too bad on your birthday I said it's too bad, too bad Too bad on your birthday
You were my love once It lasted several months And I was in love even blinder When you left me I cried All my tears haven't dried So I'm leavin' this little reminder
Oh, it's too bad, too bad Too bad on your birthday Oh, too bad, too bad Too bad on your birthday
And now you're the girl With cake on her face Yeah, you're the one who's cryin' Blow out the candles and make a wish If you need a drink, babe I'm buyin', yeah
Too bad, too bad Too bad on your birthday I said it's too bad, too bad Too bad on your birthday
Woe, too bad, too bad Too bad on your birthday I said that's too bad, that's too bad Too bad on your birthday

Avenues And Alleyways (theme song from "The Protectors" (1971-1973) Lyrics by Peter Callander Music by Mitch Murray Recorded by Tony Christie Sleep like a baby, my little lady, Dream till the sunrise creeps into your eyes Dream till the sunrise Turns on the day. In the Avenues and Alleyways while you sleep there's a whole world coming alive Able and his brother, fighting one another in and out of every dive The Avenues and Alleyways where the strong and the quick alone can survive Look around the jungle see the rough and tumble Listen to a squealer cry Then a little later, in the morning paper, Read about the way he died. Wake up my pretty Go to the city Stay through the daytime safe in the sunshine stay till the daytime turns into night. In the Avenues and Alleyways Where a mans gotta work out which side he's on any way he chooses chances are he loses no one gets to live too long the avenues and alleyways Where the soul of a man is easy to buy everybody's wheeling everybody's steeling all the low are living high Every city's got em can we ever stop em some of us are gonna try. "The Protectors" (1971-1973) was Gerry and Sylvia Anderons's second live action series, after "UFO". The opening theme is an instrumental version of this song. The ending credits feature only a small portion of the lyrics: In the avenues and alleyways Where the soul of a man is easy to buy everybody's wheeling everybody's steeling all the low are living high Every city's got em can we ever stop em some of us are gonna try. 1973: www.youtube.com/watch?v=jj4UFqKG5YIMore recent: www.youtube.com/watch?v=ppZJlUzpSyk
