Senses Working Overtime Lyrics - English Settlement - Xtc

Hey, hey, the clouds are away 

There's straw for the donkeys 

And the innocents can all sleep safely 

All sleep safely 

My, my, sun is pie 

There's fodder for the cannons 

And the guilty ones can all sleep safely 

All sleep safely 

And all the world is football-shaped 

It's just for me to kick in space 

And I can see, hear, smell, touch, taste 

And I've got one, two, three, four, five 

Senses working overtime 

Trying to take this all in 

I've got one, two, three, four, five 

Senses working overtime 

Trying to taste the difference 'tween a lemon and a lime 

Pain and pleasure and the church bells softly chime 

Hey hey, night fights day 

There's food for the thinkers 

And the innocents can all live slowly 

All live slowly 

My, my, the sky will cry 

Jewels for the thirsty 

And the guilty one's can all die slowly 

All die slowly 

And all the world is biscuit-shaped 

It's just for me to feed my face 

And I can see, hear, smell, touch, taste 

And I've got one, two, three, four, five 

Senses working overtime 

Trying to take this all in 

I've got one, two, three, four, five 

Senses working overtime 

Trying to taste the difference 'tween a lemon and a lime 

Pain and pleasure and the church bells softly chime 

And birds might fall from black skies 

And bullies might give you black eyes 

But to me it's very, very beautiful 

(England's glory!) 

Beautiful 

(A striking beauty!) 

And all the world is football-shaped 

It's just for me to kick in space 

And I can see, hear, smell, touch, taste 

And I've got one, two, three, four, five 

Senses working overtime 

Trying to take this all in 

I've got one, two, three, four, five 

Senses working overtime 

Trying to tell the difference 'tween the goods and grime 

Turds and treasure and there's one, two, three, four, five 

Senses working overtime 

Trying to take this all in 

I've got one, two, three, four, five 

Senses working overtime 

Trying to taste the difference 'tween a lemon and a lime 

Pain and pleasure and the church bells softly chime
