Watch Me Go - Live

Lyrics

One day the monkey jumps aboard, one day the black dog gets you
 One Day the demons write your name in blood upon a ledger
 But see the sun is shining as I step down on the pike
 So pretty in my uniform of anti-look-alike
 And goodbye halls of academe, I never could respect you
 And loved ones, I'll say fare you well, I surely will neglect you.
 Watch Me Go
 Into the wide blue yonder
 Watch Me Go
 Like a human cannonball
 Watch Me Go
 With a mighty peal of thunder
 And I'll keep shouting till they lay me low
 If it wasn't for Dalwhinnie and all his reckless crew
 I never would have learned to shake my fist and hullabaloo
 If it wasn't for the company I'd be talking to myself
 Inside a padded 8 by 12, all on the National Health
 And friends and kind relations, I'll be writing very soon
 The next time that you see me I'll be halfway to the moon
 Thank you dear Professor, for refocusing our eyes
 And thank you Captain Sensible, so eloquent and wise
 And Fotherington-Thomas, now you're singing with the choir
 But you gave us beef when we had none, of wood and string and wire
 And for those who choose the twisty road, prefer it to the straight
 Let joy beat out old misery, as love will conquer hate
