Oh! You Pretty Things (Live Friars, Aylesbury, 25th September, 1971)
This is the number I wrote for myself and for the album
Uh, and somebody else did it, but say no more
But, uh, say no more or say no more
I'll do it anyway
Wake up, you sleepy head
Put on some clothes, shake up your bed
Put another log on the fire for me
I've made some breakfast and coffee
I look out my window, what do I see?
A crack in the sky and a hand reaching down to me
All the nightmares came today
It looks as though they're here to stay
What are we coming to?
No room for me, no fun for you
I think about a world to come
Where the books were found by the golden ones
Written in pain, written in awe
By a puzzled man who questioned what we came here for
All the strangers came today
It looks as though they're here to stay
Oh, you pretty things
Don't you know you're driving your
Mamas and papas insane?
Oh, you pretty things
Don't you know you're driving your
Mamas and papas insane?
Let me say it again
You gotta make way for the Homo Superior
Look out at your children
See their faces in golden rays
Kid, yourself they belong to you
They're the start of a coming race
The earth is a bitch
We've finished our news
Homo Sapiens have outgrown their use
All the strangers came today
And it looks as though they're here to stay
Oh, you pretty things
Don't you know you're driving your
Mamas and papas insane?
Oh, you pretty things
Don't you know you're driving your
Mamas and papas insane?
Let me say it again
You gotta make way for the Homo Superior
Uh, and somebody else did it, but say no more
But, uh, say no more or say no more
I'll do it anyway
Wake up, you sleepy head
Put on some clothes, shake up your bed
Put another log on the fire for me
I've made some breakfast and coffee
I look out my window, what do I see?
A crack in the sky and a hand reaching down to me
All the nightmares came today
It looks as though they're here to stay
What are we coming to?
No room for me, no fun for you
I think about a world to come
Where the books were found by the golden ones
Written in pain, written in awe
By a puzzled man who questioned what we came here for
All the strangers came today
It looks as though they're here to stay
Oh, you pretty things
Don't you know you're driving your
Mamas and papas insane?
Oh, you pretty things
Don't you know you're driving your
Mamas and papas insane?
Let me say it again
You gotta make way for the Homo Superior
Look out at your children
See their faces in golden rays
Kid, yourself they belong to you
They're the start of a coming race
The earth is a bitch
We've finished our news
Homo Sapiens have outgrown their use
All the strangers came today
And it looks as though they're here to stay
Oh, you pretty things
Don't you know you're driving your
Mamas and papas insane?
Oh, you pretty things
Don't you know you're driving your
Mamas and papas insane?
Let me say it again
You gotta make way for the Homo Superior
