This, among the earliest recorded versions of the song “Envelopes,” later released without vocals on Ship Arriving Too Late to Save a Drowning Witch, is similar to the one released earlier on Hammersmith Odeon. Only the introduction and small lyrical changes mark the difference.
All right the name of this song is "Envelopes."
That’s right. You like that song? You really like that song? You only heard it last night, right? And already you like that song? You never can tell what’s going to happen in a major metropolitan area. Well, ladies and gentlemen, this song features the succulent voice of Tommy Mars, and he will now take it away
You are my desire
You come to me in dreams through a garden wall
It is covered with a lot of dew
And I suppose you're covered too
Just slightly wet
Better yet you're a stew
You are my balloon
You come to me in dreams through a boob or two
It is covered with a lot of dew
And I suppose you're covered too
Just slightly wet
Better yet let's go screw!
I'm screwing you
I'm screwing you
I'm screwing you
I'm screwing you
Oh boy I'm doing it
I'm really neat, I'm really neat
You're really sweet, you're really sweet
In and out
In and out
In and out
In and out
It's divine
You are mine
You're so fine
Squat on my blaster
Make it go faster
Squat on my blaster
Make it go faster
