Riding On The Back Lyrics - Singles - Dunnery Francis

Molly came home from work and found her cat dead 

She suddenly realized she wanted a dog instead 

She dashed down to the kennel and bought herself a puppy 

And on that first walkies she ran across a yuppie 

His name was Steven, he was very clean shaven and patient 

Just the type of guy to help her build the kinda life 

That she's been craving 

And still to this day, coincidence is all the rage! 

I'm riding on the back of a giant bird 

Bigger than you, bigger than me 

On the west side of your memory 

The scent that sings your pot poure 

The flour in your bakery 

Johnny and Rita had a real thing going on 

Johnny shows Rita to his best friend called Bobbie 

Who freaks over Rita, she finds herself smitten 

With Bobbie's commitment to old fashioned values 

So they run off together, it's a match made in heaven 

She is a painter and he is a turpentine seller 

Just the kind of love to make a lonely man 

And lonely woman better 

And still to this day coincidence is all the rage! 

I'm riding on the back of a giant bird 

Bigger than you, bigger than me 

It's the fight in your artillery 

The painting in your gallery 

The food in your delivery 

I don't want to break your heart in two 

There's just one thing I'd like you to try 

Don't let science take your wings away 

You can live tomorrow from today 

Frankie got out of school and found himself dead 

Instead of a diploma they gave him some white bread 

And Graham was in Chicago in a middle class home 

Destined for marriage and a lock on his bone 

And Johnny was Italian and it was meant to be 

All kinds of stupid till he moved to New York City 

Just the type of town to help create 

The type of music that's free 

I'm riding on the back of a giant bird 

Bigger than you, bigger than me 

Bigger than all history
