Intro spoken-
'Thank you very much and welcome.
We have a new album out at the moment.
It was released 6 weeks ago.
Like to play you, play you something from that.'


Intro chorus-
(All through the night, stars shimmered bright)
(The stars would glimmer, it felt so right)
(When I was young, life was oh so wonderful)

When I was young
It seemed that life was so wonderful
A miracle, oh it was beautiful, magical
And all the birds in the trees
They'd be singing so happily
Oh joyfully, oh playfully watching me

But then they sent me away
To teach me how to be sensible
Logical, oh responsible, practical
And then they showed me a world
Where I could be so dependable
Oh clinical, how intellectual, cynical (cyn-i-cal)

There are times when all the world's asleep
(Cynical, when I fall asleep)
Questions run too deep
(cynical, who can I trust?)
For such a simple man
(Tell me a plan I can understand)


Won't you please (I never had a plan)

Please tell me what we've learned
I know it sounds absurd (I never knew)
But please tell me who I am?
(Tell me, please tell me, tell me the plan)
(Please won't you tell me, tell me, who I am?)

I said, now watch what you say!
They'll be calling you a radical
A liberal, oh fanatical, criminal
And won't you sign up your name
We'd like to feel you're acceptable
Respectable, oh presentable, a vegetable

Ooh dig-dig-dig it, yeah

1 - 2- 3 - 4 ready-go

In the night when all the world's asleep
(Fell asleep with the question)
The questions run so deep
(Fell asleep with no answer)
With such a simple man
(Simple plan won't you tell me, tell me)

Won't you please (oh won't you help me) please
Please tell me what all we've learned
(Did ya ever think it only sounds absurd?)
Won't you tell me (please tell me who I am)
(I won't attempt to tell you, follow your plan)
Who I am?
(I won't attempt to tell you, follow your plan)
Who I am?
(I won't attempt to tell you, follow your plan)
Who I am?
(I won't attempt to tell you, follow your plan)

woo!

Allright!

Do-da-da-da
Ooo, yeah, yeah!

Cause, I'm feeling so logical!

1234

So, dig-dig-dig-dig digital

Dig-dig sing (sax)

Dig-dig digital, yeah

Oh, oh, oh, so logical

Hey!

And don't you think it's unbelievable?

Ooo, yeah!

Woo!

Ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-Bloody Marvelous!
