Limbo Lyrics

[Luxury Yacht]

Two lovers entwined pass me by
And heaven knows I'm miserable now

Two lovers missing the tranquility of solitude

Limbo stick to Benbow there?

Who'll start a new one?

[Crusoe]

Yes, well done, Benbow. Here’s a picture of him winning the stick.



So, here’s a new set:-


The management cannot accept responsibility
For umbrellas, morals, hats or hearts
Elation or ennui
If the customers forget themselves
And heads begin to spin
We can’t guarantee you’ll go away
The way that you came in
Don’t spill the secrets of your life
Don’t show your hand or bear your soul
When speaking of the job or wife
Please use a little self control
If you go ahead and drink your fill
You may set your fancy free
You may fall into a lover’s eyes
Or discover someone’s knee
If you leave behind your moral code
Or lose your dignity
The management cannot accept
Responsibility

[Crusoe]

O Mr Sellack
Can I have my job back?
I've run out of money again.
Last time I saw ya
I was singing Hallelujah
I'm so glad to be leavin' this restaurant.

Now the only thing I want
Is to have my old job back again.

Waiting tables ain't that bad.
Since I've seen you last, I've waited
for some things that you would not believe
To come true.

Give me a broom and I'll sweep my way to heaven.
Give me a job;
You name it.
Let the other forty-million three-hundred and seven
People who want to get famous.


_{Severely cropped, but I got it down to 100 words}

"Mr Sellack" - The Roches. Hey, I'd forgotten about them. Must dig the tape out - hurrah!

[Pooka]

Give me your hand
To hold on to
And if tears fill your eyes
Listen to my music it's no surprise

I don't want to be famous in life
I don't want to be famous in the world
I just want to be famous
Famous
I want to be famous in your eyes

Oh I know
The wind is gonna blow
And in the winter
There's sure to be snow . . .

You're not a dream
You're not an angel
You're a man

I'm not a queen
I'm a woman
Take my hand

We'll make a space
In the lives
That we'd planned

And here we'll stay
Until it's time
For you to go.

[Lux Interior]

Yes I know that it's convenient
But it's also inconsiderate
And you could get a ticket, so don't park there

C'mon, let's be fair

Don't go parking in that handicapped parking space
(Don't park there)

Of course. It’s not as if I’d put up just any old picture, you know.

[Benbow]

Thank you Crusoe.



Oh Master John, do you beware,
And don't you go kissing the girls
At Bridgewater Fair.

Are you going to Scarborough Fair
Parsley, sage, rosemary, and thyme
Remember me . . .
