Swallowed whole and spat you out
Before you'd had a chance to blink
Just when you'd built a song
To change the way people think

I said, hey why now such a sudden surprise
After what they've done with the sixties
Where they wrapped up janice, jimi and joni sold them
Back to the hippies

Everybody loves you and then everybody left
In the end there was only ever you and me ever really you and me
And the music


I cried when I saw you as hollow as all the bones inside a bird
You looked like you might explode if someone said the word

And I said hey why now such a sudden surprise
After what they've done with the sixties
Where they wrapped up janice, jimi and joni sold them
Back to the hippies everybody loves you
And then everybody left
In the end there was only ever you and me ever really you and me
And the music
