Riding The Outskirts Of Fantasy Lyrics - Ian Dury

Little tests and odd requests 

Who loves, who loves, who the best? 

Little tasks, no questions asked 

The traitor is at last unmasked 

Little ploys, search and destroy 

Who brings, who brings, who more joy? 

Little snipes and frequent gripes 

Taken in by all the hype 

We're riding the outskirts of fantasy 

We're riding, we're riding, we ride 

We're hiding our loss of identity 

We're keeping our secrets inside 

Little tricks with walking sticks 

Who gives, who gives, who more kicks? 

Little smiles and wily wiles 

Got your name down on our files 

We're riding the outskirts of fantasy 

We're riding, we're riding, we ride 

We're hiding our loss of identity 

We're keeping our secrets inside 

I have done this and that 

I have been here and there 

I have tasted the fruit of the coco de mer 

I've devoted myself to a life without care 

And when all's said and done, 

I've done more than my share 

We're riding the outskirts of fantasy 

We're riding, we're riding, we ride 

We're hiding our loss of identity 

We're keeping our secrets inside 

Little games we name no names 

Who lost, who lost, who more aims? 

Little snares caught unawares 

The cupboard underneath the stairs 

We're riding the outskirts of fantasy 

We're riding, we're riding, we ride 

We're hiding our loss of identity 

We're keeping our secrets inside
