Intro spoken-

'Thank you very much and welcome.

We have a new album out at the moment.

It was released 6 weeks ago.

Like to play you, play you something from that.'

Intro chorus-

(All through the night, stars shimmered bright)

(The stars would glimmer, it felt so right)

(When I was young, life was oh so wonderful)

When I was young

It seemed that life was so wonderful

A miracle, oh it was beautiful, magical

And all the birds in the trees

They'd be singing so happily

Oh joyfully, oh playfully watching me

But then they sent me away

To teach me how to be sensible

Logical, oh responsible, practical

And then they showed me a world

Where I could be so dependable

Oh clinical, how intellectual, cynical (cyn-i-cal)

There are times when all the world's asleep

(Cynical, when I fall asleep)

Questions run too deep

(cynical, who can I trust?)

For such a simple man

(Tell me a plan I can understand)

Won't you please (I never had a plan)

Please tell me what we've learned

I know it sounds absurd (I never knew)

But please tell me who I am?

(Tell me, please tell me, tell me the plan)

(Please won't you tell me, tell me, who I am?)

I said, now watch what you say!

They'll be calling you a radical

A liberal, oh fanatical, criminal

And won't you sign up your name

We'd like to feel you're acceptable

Respectable, oh presentable, a vegetable

Ooh dig-dig-dig it, yeah <sax>

1 - 2- 3 - 4 ready-go

In the night when all the world's asleep

(Fell asleep with the question)

The questions run so deep

(Fell asleep with no answer)

With such a simple man

(Simple plan won't you tell me, tell me)

Won't you please (oh won't you help me) please

Please tell me what all we've learned

(Did ya ever think it only sounds absurd?)

Won't you tell me (please tell me who I am)

(I won't attempt to tell you, follow your plan)

Who I am?

(I won't attempt to tell you, follow your plan)

Who I am?

(I won't attempt to tell you, follow your plan)

Who I am?

(I won't attempt to tell you, follow your plan)

<whistle & sax> woo!

Allright!

Do-da-da-da

Ooo, yeah, yeah!

Cause, I'm feeling so logical!

1234

So, dig-dig-dig-dig digital

Dig-dig sing (sax)

Dig-dig digital, yeah

Oh, oh, oh, so logical

Hey!

And don't you think it's unbelievable?

Ooo, yeah!

Woo!

Ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-Bloody Marvelous!
