Unfortunately, the second side lets the listener (me) down a bit with a couple filler tunes like ‘Brand New Day’ (a kinda bland and chaotic ballad with no humor at all and not much to hang on to) and ‘Flying Junk’ (a pedestrian rocker) being the first potential hints at the band’s rapid descent into...
[Verse 1]
Ooh, he's a sly one
He's a razamataz man
He flew in from Singapore
On a flying junk man
Ooh, he's a devil
Ooh, and the devil's gonna bring you down
[Verse 2]
Ooh, he's a stalwart
With a heavy load on
He's got a finger in everyone's pie
And he's got what you want
Ooh, he's a salesman
Ooh, and his goods are gonna bring you down
[Bridge]
He's never got the stuff
If you ever come to him without money
He hasn't got the time
For the people who are down on their knees
But if the price is right
You won't be asking him where it came from
[Verse 3]
Ooh, he's a remnant
From the swingin' sixties
He pushed his load down the Kings Road
To the Chelsea Potter
Ooh, he's a snow job
Ooh, and his shovels gonna cover you
