The Bates

Hello

The Bates


Woke up this morning and the streets were full of cars 
All bright and shiny like they'd just arrived from mars 
And as I stumbled through last nights drunken debris 
The paperboy screamed out the headlines in the street 

Another war and now the pound is looking weak 
And tell me have you read about the latest freak 
We're bingo numbers and our names are obsolete 
Why do I feel bitter when I should be feeling sweet 

Hello, hello turn your radio on 
Is there anybody out there 
Help me sing my song 
Li-li-li life is a strange thing 
just when you think you know how to use it 
it's gone 

Woke up this morning and my head was in a daze 
A brave new world has dawned upon the human race 
Where words are meaningless and everything's surreal 
Gonna have to reach my friends to find out how I feel 

And if I taste the honey is it really sweet 
And do I eat it with my hands or with my feet 
Does anybody really listen when I speak 
Or will I have to say it all again next week 

Hello, hello turn your radio on 
Is there anybody out there
Help me sing my song 
Hello, hello turn your radio on 
Is there anybody out there
Tell me what went wrong 
Li-li-li life is a strange thing 
YEAH 
Life is a strange thing 
(Instrumental) 

Hello, hello turn your radio on 
Is there anybody out there
Help me sing my song 
Hello, hello turn your radio on 
Is there anybody out there
Tell me what went wrong 

Li-li-li life is a strange thing 
Just when you think you know how to use it 
It's gone
