00:00 HURRICANE MAN
The broken hearted pilot is lost in wheeling wings.
Gone forever brothers. Smashed to smithereens.
The little cap green and black the doctor said was soft.
You wonder how many humans you might need to really get you off.
Thirty years have passed you by
While you’ve been selling beer
Now you say you want to die
You don’t know what it means.
Hurricane man, hurry back here
The wine is in the sun
Hurricane man, hurry back here,
There’s so much to be done.
Fly through the night to the northern lights
To be far away
Fly through the night to the northern lights
To be far away
The wine is in the sun
Hurricane man, hurry back here,
There’s so much to be done.

02:11 ROCK’N’ROLLER
Your poor wife is sad today
She thinks you’ll die by the razor blade
Your boy Flash is free at last
On the top of the class rock ‘n roller
La, La La La La, La, La
La, La La La La, Laaa,
Says he wants to live in rock ‘n roll land
I met the strangest ladybird
With a heart of stainless steel
She liked fast cars and candy bars
She thought I was unreal
She said she had a father
The one she never saw
Her mother was a comfort
To a pilot in the war
She said she had a superstar
A long hard ride ago
He kicked his heels in strawberry fields
And fell down on the snow
Laaa La La La La, La La La La
(continues behind next verse)
Dark nights, golden lights
Hand in hand together
Sweet breath, fetid breath
Nothing lasts forever
Laaa La La La La, La La La La
