Oh! You Pretty Things (Live Friars, Aylesbury, 25th September, 1971)

[Intro]
This is a number I, I wrote for myself and for the album
Uh, and somebody else did it, won't say anymore
But, uh, uh, say no more, I'll say no more
We'll do it anyway

[Verse 1]
Wake up, you sleepy heads
Put on some clothes, shake up your bed
Put another log on the fire for me
Made some breakfast and coffee
Look out my window, what do I see?
Crack in the sky and a hand reaching down to me

[Refrain]
All the nightmares came today
Looks as though they're here to stay

[Verse 2]
What are we coming to?
No room for me, no fun for you
I think about a world to come
Where the books were found by the Golden ones
Written in pain, written in awe
By a puzzled man who questioned what we came here for

[Refrain]
All the strangers came today
Looks as though they're here to stay

[Chorus]
Oh, you Pretty Things
Don't you know you're driving your Mamas and Papas insane?
Oh, you Pretty Things
Don't you know you're driving your Mamas and Papas insane?
Let me say it again
You gotta make way for the Homo Superior

[Verse 3]
Look out at your children
See their faces in golden rays
Don't kid yourself, they belong to you
They're the start of the coming race
Earth is a bitch, we've finished our news
Homo Sapiens have outgrown their use

[Refrain]
All the strangers came today
And it looks as though they're here to stay

[Chorus]
Oh, you Pretty Things
Don't you know you're driving your Mamas and Papas insane?
Oh, you Pretty Things
Don't you know you're driving your Mamas and Papas insane?
Let me say it again
You gotta make way for the Homo Superior
