"Technicolor UFO" lyrics - PHIL MANZANERA

PHIL MANZANERA
"Technicolor UFO"

There's Kevin Ayers
Sitting in a corner
Singing from the bottom of a well
Robert Ellidge pouring the drinks
And I must say that he's looking swell
Captain Beefheart's sweeping the floor
Pickin' up the bottles and the butts
Bill and Ian toking in the corner
Two Brians standing at the jukebox

It's a tripped out scene
Burroughs, Soft Machine
And it all takes place
At the Middle Earth
It's a happening scene
There's a Beauty Queen
And it's all going down
In a technicolor UFO

At the Saville
Back in the 60's
I'm watching
The Beatles and the Stones
Ike and Tina playing marracas
Jimi Hendrix on xylophone

OZ and IT
Syd and Hoppy
Zappa's at the ICA
Beads and bangles
At Ally Pally
And I'm still reading
'Naked Lunch'

It's a tripped out scene
Burroughs, Soft Machine
And it all takes place
At the Middle Earth
It's a happening scene
There's a Beauty Queen
And it's all going down
In a technicolor UFO

When will the bubble burst
And wake up from this dream
Am I at the Albert Hall
Or is it
'Christmas On Earth'

It's a tripped out scene
Burroughs, Soft Machine
And it all takes place
At the Middle Earth
It's a happening scene
There's a Beauty Queen
And it's all going down
In a technicolor UFO

Technicolor UFO
Technicolor UFO
Technicolor UFO
Technicolor UFO
