Technicolor UFO - Phil Manzanera

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
