Ever felt that you're stuck in the 60s?

lyrics

THERE GOES BILL

There goes Bill with a wibble and a wobble
And a creak in his stride today
All iced-up with the dumbers and the numbers
On a backroad to Tiger Bay

Poor old Bill, huddled in a muddle
With the joss-sticks and oolong tea
Can't tell his As from his Es in a puddle
Of remembrance and fantasy
Hey Bill

There goes Bill in a summer of love
With the headband and fairylights
Turned right on with the power of a flower
On a warm San Franciscan night

Bobalong Bill a-sneaking and a-freaking
Through the kaftans and jesus-boots
Grooving away to the Mamas and the Papas
And a homegrown bamboo flute
Hey Bill

Slow down, Bill, the sizzle in the swizzle
Is a long way away today
The fire has gone, doused in a drizzle
Of banality and worn cliches

Peripheral Bill, mumbling and a-grumbling
As the catheter drips away
This is the hour of the withering flower
And the wallpaper fades to grey
Hey Bill
