Goodnight I Say - Robyn Hitchcock, The Egyptians

As I was swimming under the sea

I heard the voices calling to me

«Know that you’re drowning, too late to stop

We’re here to help you over the top»

Now I’m a doctor, now you’re a nurse

Now you’re an astronaut driving a hearse

Goodnight I say, goodnight I say

Goodnight I say, goodnight I say

Goodnight

Goodnight I say, goodnight I say

Goodnight I say, goodnight I say

Goodnight

Opening Janet serious find

Head full of granite ever so kind

Send for the orderly too late to come

Drunk and disorderly under your thumb

Tissues from Venice wipe on a dial

Crawling a lettuce ever so vile

Goodnight I say, goodnight I say

Goodnight I say, goodnight I say

Goodnight

Goodnight I say, goodnight I say

Goodnight I say, goodnight I say

Goodnight

Drowning in concert serious valve

Helping the dishes under themselves

Cycling madly through Honiton Clyst

Where my dear friend Bradley has died of a cyst

Oh

Goodnight I say, goodnight I say

Goodnight I say, goodnight I say

Goodnight

Goodnight I say, goodnight I say

Goodnight I say, goodnight I say

Goodnight

Goodnight I say, goodnight I say

Goodnight I say, goodnight I say

Goodnight

Goodnight I say, goodnight I say

Goodnight I say, goodnight I say

Goodnight
