lyrics

WONDERWORLD

The dawn is breaking
And I awaken
Rubbing the sleep from my dreamy eyes
The dewdrops glisten
And I listen
To birdsong carried on the lightening skies.

Hair is combed
Teeth are brushed
Sleepyheads are being rushed
To find their place in the crush
Of trains and cars and buses
I wonder what the fuss is
In my big warm bed so snug and tightly curled
In my wonderworld.

I hear car doors slamming
Cursing and damning
The Monday-Friday chorus chimes bang on time
Housewives complaining
It's started raining
Hurry, get the washing off the line.

Pots to wash
Plates as well
Bin the bread crust and eggshell
Fix the ornament that fell
During a game of kiss chase
I still feel the kiss on my face
Warm as the sun that glowed and swirled
Over my wonderworld.

Workers returning
Streetlights burning
Sister Luna pulls her dark duvet on the day
Fill the slippers
Grill the kippers
Let the stereotyping pool drain away

Slip off guard
Go cold stream
You're lit by a flickering screen
Drift in and out of a close-of-daydream
No care where the next hit comes from
Schoolboy blade, madman bullet, governmental bomb
Take shelter where no hate bomb can be hurled
My wonderworld.
