Honeysuckle Highway Lyrics - Ian Dury

Exploring every avenue of love 

on the honeysuckle highway 

eschewing every vestige of regret we gaily slip along 

displaying all the evidence of mirth 

on the daffodyllic byway 

and needing no excuse to have a laugh 

cos we're doing nothing wrong 

You want magic? 

i'll provide it 

you want daydream? 

i'm inside it 

you want mystery? 

it will find you 

you've got a moonbeam 

right behind you 

Cruising down carnality canal 

in my canoe can i canoodle? 

rounding every bending that 

we're wending in a loopy disarray 

evincing all the properties of rapture 

with a sybaritic splendour 

and shedding every nagging little footle 

that is getting in the way 

You want magic? 

i can do it 

you want lovelight? 

nothing to it 

you want everything to be groovy? 

you got me now, 

let's get moving 

Come with me where the air is free 

and spirits can in harmony unite 

swim with me in the rainbow sea 

we're strangers to catastrophe tonight 

Where all the clocks tell different times 

and no-one finds the time to be uptight 

where sweet suggestions grow on trees 

and love explodes as well indeed it might 

Exploring every avenue of love 

on the honeysuckle highway 

and needing no excuse to have a laugh 

cos we're doing nothing wrong 

You want magic? 

well, you've got it 

you want licence? 

i forgot it 

you want romance? 

let's get busy 

i've got magic 

to make you dizzy 

Come with me to the special place 

the first thing you get on your face, a smile 

as secrets flourish in their space 

so love will cherish every grace and style 

When pressure's on another case 

we get along without a trace of bile 

though memories we'll ne'er erase 

our happiness can run apace meanwhile 

You wore a bandana, 

i wore navy blue 

we met in havana 

at quarter past two 

across the savannah 

and down to the beach 

you munched a banana, 

i nibbled a peach 

You played a small solo, 

i muffled a drum 

you offered a polo, 

i stuck with my gum 

i danced a light polka, 

you threw a few hoops 

i was oscar homolka, 

you were marjorie proops
