“Sunny Goodge Street” foreshadows the jazzy feel and descriptions of life in urban London that Donovan would continue to explore over the next two years.
[Verse 1]
On the firefly platform on Sunny Goodge Street
A violent hash-smoker shook a chocolate machine
Involved in an eating scene
[Verse 2]
Smashing into neon streets in their stonedness
Smearing their eyes on the crazy Kali goddess
Listenin' to sounds of Mingus mellow fantastic
[Chorus]
My, my, they sigh
My, my, they sigh
[Verse 3]
In doll house rooms with coloured lights swingin'
Strange music boxes sadly tinklin'
Drink in the sun shining all around you
[Chorus]
My, my, they sigh
My, my, they sigh
[Flute Solo]
[Chorus]
My, my, they sigh
My, my, they sigh
[Verse 4]
The magician, he sparkles in satin and velvet
You gaze at his splendour with eyes you've not used yet
I tell you his name is Love, Love, Love
[Chorus]
My, my, they sigh
My, my, they sigh
My, my, they sigh
