Honeytrap
Jubilee (Reprise)
[5.27]
(Words by David Fisher, Music by David Fisher and Neil McCarthy)

Bombing down the Chalk Hills riding on a tea tray, happy as the day is long
Tune in as Stewpot spins another song
Up in the tree house, bangers and a Gat Gun sucking on a Humphrey Straw
I’ll show you a soaking rotten Mayfair, shop lift a Whimsey for a Double Dare

Tomorrow’s nothing like it used to be
When flying saucers made the whole world dizzy
And ancient astronauts with ESP
Came to market their theology
I’ve seen the future coming out of my TV
Those spooky movies made it look so pretty
A bunch of space cadets in PVC
Bending teaspoons for the Jubilee

Chiz chiz it’s football in the morning, standing in the freezing rain
Latin, Maths, Latin, Double Maths, English, Music, French again
Cunning stunt men revving up their Hot Wheels to make some kind of Evel jumps
Little drummer boy banging on a OXO tin - What’s that Bionic Woman cooking?

Tomorrow’s nothing like it used to be
When flying saucers made the whole world dizzy
And ancient astronauts with ESP
Came to market their theology
I’ve seen the future coming out of my TV
Those spooky movies made it look so pretty
A bunch of space cadets in PVC
Bending teaspoons for the Jubilee

Asleep in the classroom
Dream of walking on the Moon

Tomorrow’s nothing like it used to be
When flying saucers made the whole world dizzy
And ancient astronauts with ESP
Came to market their theology
I’ve seen the future coming out of my TV
Those spooky movies made it look so pretty
A bunch of space cadets in PVC
Bending teaspoons for the Jubilee

Notes:

More of the same 1970's fetishing, this time in the company of Molesworth, Evel Knievel, Junior Choice D.J. Ed "Stewpot" Stewart and Jaime Sommers. There's even a genuine nightmare timetable from my posh and fascistic primary school - "Latin, Maths, Latin, Double Maths, English, Music, French" and, of course, my unattainable dream car - the Mercedes C111 as featured on the cover of the album.
