1.Your Dictonary
作詞:Andy Partridge
H A T E
Is that how you spell love in your dictionary
K I C K
Pronounced as kind
F U C K
Is that how you spell friend in your dictionary
Black on black
A guidebook for the blind
Well, now that I can see my eyes won't weep
Now that I can hear your song sounds cheap
Now that I can talk all your corn I'll reap
I'm not so sure that Joey wed a Virgin Mary
There are no words for me inside your dictionary
S L A P
Is that how you spell kiss in your dictionary
C O L D
Pronounced as care
S H I T
Is that how you spelt me in your dictionary
Four-eyed fool
You led 'round everywhere
Now that I can see it's the queens new clothes
Now that I can hear all your poison prose
Now that I can talk with my tongue unfroze
I'm not so sure of Santa or the buck-tooth fairy
There are no words for me inside your dictionary
Now your laughter has a hollow ring
But the hollow ring has no finger in
So let's close the book and let the day begin
And our marriage be undone
2.River Of Orchids
作詞:Andy Partridge
Hey, I heard the dandelions roar in Piccadilly Circus
I heard the dandelions roar in Piccadilly Circus
Take a packet of seeds, take yourself out to play
I want to see a river of orchids where we had a motorway
Push your car from the road
Push your car from the road
Just like a mad dog you're chasing your tail in a circle
Just like a mad dog you're chasing your tail in a circle
It's all in your backyard, you've the whole world at your feet
Said the grass is always greener when it bursts up through
concrete
Push your car from the road
Push your car from the road
River of orchids winding our way
Want to walk into London on my hands one day
River of orchids, the road overgrows
Want to walk into London smelling like a Peckham rose
Just like a mad dog you're chasing your tail in a circle
(Yeah)
Just like a mad dog you're chasing your tail in a circle
(You know, you can do it)
I had a dream where the car is reduced to a fossil
I had a dream where the car is reduced to a fossil
Take a packet of seeds, take yourself out to play
I want to see a river of orchids where we had a motorway
It's all in your back yard, you've the whole world at your feet
(Push your car from the road)
Said the grass is always greener when it bursts up through
concrete
Take a packet of seeds, take yourself out to play
(Push your car from the road)
I want to see a river of orchids where we had a motorway
River of orchids winding my way
Want to walk into London on my hands one day
River of orchids, the road overgrows
Want to walk into London smelling like a Peckham rose

(I heard the dandelions roar in Piccadilly Circus)
Want to walk into London on my hands one day

3.I'd Like That
作詞:Andy Partridge
I'd like that if we could cycle down some lane
I'd like that if we could ride into the rain
No macs, getting wet
I'd be your Albert if you'd be Victoria
We'd laugh because each drop would make me grow up
Really high, really high like a really high thing
Say, a sunflower
I'd like that
I'd like that if we could lay before my fire
(What would you like?)
I'd like that if you could slide me from this wire
(What would you like?)
Toasting fork, I'll be done
I wouldn't Hector if you'd be Helen of Troy, oh boy
We'd laugh because each flame would make me grow up
Really high, really high like a really high thing
Say, a sunflower, I'd like that
I'd smile so much my face would crack in two
Then you could fix it with your kissing glue
I'd like that, yes, I'd like that
I'd like that if we could float away in bed
(What would you like?)
I'd like that if I could row your heart and head
(What would you like?)
With you laid on one arm
I'd be your Nelson if you'd be my Hamilton, what fun
We'd laugh because each stroke would make me grow up
Really high, really high like a really high thing
Say, a sunflower, say, a sunflower, say, a sunflower
Say, a sunflower, let me hear you say
Say, a sunflower I became
I'd be growing in your lane
(Say it again)
Say, a sunflower I became
I'd be growing in your lane
Say, a sunflower I became
(Sunflower)
I'd be growing in your lane
Say, a sunflower I became
(Sunflower)
I'd be growing in your lane
Say, a sunflower I became
(Sunflower)
I'd be growing in your lane
4.Harvest Festival
作詞:Andy Partridge
See the flowers 'round the altar
See the peaches in tins
'Neath the headmaster's chair
Harvest festival
See the two who've been chosen
See them walk hand in hand
To the front of the hall
Harvest festival, harvest festival
What was best of all was the
Longing look you gave me, that longing look
More than enough to keep me fed all year
See the children with baskets
See their hair cut like corn
Neatly combed in their rows
Harvest festival, harvest festival
What was best of all was the
Longing look you gave me, that longing look
Across the hymnbooks and the canvas chairs
The longing look you gave me
That longing look
More than enough to keep me fed all year
And what a year when the exams and crops all failed
Of course, you passed and you were never seen again
We all grew and we got screwed and cut and nailed
Then out of nowhere, invitation in gold pen
See the flowers 'round the altar
See that you too got married
And I wish you well
Harvest festival, harvest festival
What was best of all was the
Longing look you gave me, that longing look
Across the hymnbooks and the canvas chairs
The longing look you gave me
That longing look
More than enough to keep me fed all year
Harvest festival
5.Easter Theatre
作詞:Andy Partridge
Gold sun rolls around
Chocolate nipple brown
Tumble from your arms
Like the ground, your breasts swell
Land awake from sleep
Hares will kick and leap
Flowers climb erect
Smiling from the moist kiss of her rainbow mouth
Stage left
(Enter Easter and she's dressed in yellow yolk)
Stage right
(Now the son has died, the father can be born)
Stand up
(If we'd all breathe in and blow away the smoke)
New life
(We'd applaud a new life)
Odin mounts the tree
Bleeds for you and me
Splashing on the lamb
Gamboling with spring's step
Buds will laugh and burst
Racing to be first
Turning all the soil
As the promptress' fingers through her spinning script
Stage left
(Enter Easter and she's dressed in yellow yolk)
Stage right
(Now the son has died, the father can be born)
Stand up
(If we'd all breathe in and blow away the smoke)
New life
(We'd applaud a new life)
Easter in her bonnet
Easter in her hair
Easter are the ribbons
She tied everywhere
Stage left
(Enter Easter and she's dressed in yellow yolk)
Stage right
(Now the son has died, the father can be born)
Stand up
(If we'd all breathe in and blow away the smoke)
New life
(Hey)
Stage left
(Enter Easter and she's dressed in yellow yolk)
Stage right
(Now the son has died, the father can be born)
Stand up
(If we'd all breathe in and blow away the smoke)
In her bonnet
(Easter )
Everywhere
Easter
Easter
Easter
Easter
