 Experiment IV

We were working secretly for the military
Our experiment in sound was nearly ready to begin
We only know in theory what we are doing
Music made for pleasure, music made to thrill
It was music we were making here until

(chorus)
They told us all they wanted
Was a sound that could kill someone from a distance
So we go ahead and the meters are over in the red
It's a mistake in the making

>From the painful cries of mothers to a terrifying scream
We recorded it and put it into our machine

(chorus)

It could feel like falling in love
It could feel so bad
It could feel so good
It could sing you to sleep
But that dream is your enemy!!

We won't be there to be blamed
We won't be there to snitch
I just pray that someone there can hit the switch

(chorus)

And the public are warned to stay off.........



 Under the Ivy

It wouldn't take me long
To tell you how to find it
To tell you where we'll meet
This little girl inside me
Is retreating to her favourite place
Go into the garden, go under the ivy
Under the leaves, away from the party
Go right to the rose
Go right to the white rose
I sit here in the thunder
The green on the gray
I feel it all around me
And it's not easy for me
To give away a secret
It's not safe
To go into the garden, go under the ivy
Under the leaves, away from the party
Go right to the rose
Go right to the white rose
Go into the garden, go under the ivy
Go under the leaves with me
Go right to the r.ose
Go right to the white rose
I'll be waiting for you
It wouldn't take me long
To tell you how to find it



 December Will Be Magic Again

December will be magic again.
Take a Husky to the ice while Bing
Crosby sings 'White Christmas' -- he makes you feel nice.
December will be magic again...
Old Saint Nicholas up the chimney, just popping
up in my memory...Dropping down in my parachute
(the white city, she looks so beautiful!),
up on the black-soot-icicled roofs...Oh!
And see how I fall, see how I fall, like the snow,
come to cover the lovers (Don't you wake them up!),
come to sparkle the dark up, come to cover
the muck up with just a touch of
make-up (with a little luck).
See how I fall...
December will be magic again.
Light up the candlelights to conjure Mr.
Wilde into the silent night.
(Ooh! It's quiet inside, here in Oscar's mind!)
December will be magic again.
Don't miss the brightest star, kiss under mistletoe...
I want to hear you laugh --
Don't let the mystery go now!
December will be magic again...



 The Handsome Cabin Boy

It's of a pretty female as you may understand
Her mind been bent for rambling into some foreign land
She dressed herself in sailor's clothes,
or so it does appear
And she hired with a captain to serve him for a year

Her cheeks they were like roses and her hair all in a curl
The sailors often smiled and said he looked just like a girl
But eating all the captain's biscuit her colour did destroy
And the waist did swell of pretty Nell,
the handsome cabin boy

It was in the Bay of Biscay her gallant ship did plow
One night among the sailors was a fearful floorin' row
They tumbled from their hammocks,
for their sleep it did destroy
And they swarmed about the groanin'
of the handsome cabin boy

"Oh doctor, dear.  Oh doctor," the cabin boy did cry
"The time has come -- I am undone, and I will surely die"
The doctor come a'runnin' and a'smilin' at their fun --
To think a sailor lad should have a daughter or a son

The sailors when they saw the joke,
they all did stand and stare
The child belonged to none of them,
they solemnly did swear
And the captain's wife she says to him,
"My dear I wish you joy
For 'tis either you or me's
betrayed the handsome cabin boy"
