Sofa Head (Top Gear Session) - Bonzo Dog Doo Dah Band

Sofa Head believed that his head was full of hair

Not like a hamster, more like an armchair

His father said to Sofa Head:

«The shards of mechanical time

Are biting each soft second

As they filter through your mind.»

His mother said to Sofa Head

«Why do you wear your hair so long?»

And Sofa Head said

«KICK OUT THE JAMS, MOTHER!!»

And they had marmalade

And kicked the pantry out into the street and lived happily ever after

I think that silence is appropriate, and it shall remain appropriate

His father said to Sofa Head

«My son, I give to thee

The total of my lifetime’s work

An alcoholic legacy

The ballpoint blue of old tattoos

The shrieks of a drunken whore

The wine-red stains on both the plains

A slip on the lavatory floor.»

Sofa Head believed that his head was full of hair

Not like a hamster, more like an armchair

And Sofa Head was sure he could pull out

More and more and more and more…

They say that I’m unusual, but I don’t think that’s true

In fact I’m just as usual as any one of you!

And you are just as usual as any one of me!

We are all, as usual, a usual family

We’re usual, we’re usual, we’re usual, we’re usual

We are usual!
