Billy Liar Testo

So the summer is eternity for you?

Sleeping in until your father's shaking you down

He's shaking you down.


And the mailroom shift gets a real short shrift

As you dole out the packages, no-one seems to want you around

All skulking around.


Let you legs loss on the lino

'Til your sinews spoil

Will you stay here for a while, dear,

'Til the radio plays something familiar?

Plays smoething familiar.


All a-drifting, he's a nogood boyo

Sent a-fishing for a whalebone corset frame

(His only catch all day)


So he sits and lets the current take him

A gentle breeze will leave his pants in disarray

And at his ankles laid.


As he drifts to sleep with a moan and a weep

He is decked by a Japanese geisha with a garland of pearls

How she twists and twirls!


Let you legs loss on the lino

'Til your sinews spoil

Will you stay here for a while, dear,

'Til the radio plays something familiar?

Plays smoething familiar.
