In the corner of the morning in the best
I would sit and blame the master first and last
All the roads were straight and narrow
And the pearls were small and yellow
And the rumours spread that I was aging fast
Then I ran across a monster
Who was sleeping by a tree
And I looked and frowned and looked again at me
Ooh
Well I said hello and I said hello
And I asked why not and I replied I don't know
So he asked a simple black bird
Who was happy as can be
Where they laughed and said a quip's called Helga Brown
So I cried for all the others
Though their day was nearly through
For I realised that God's a young man too, yeah, yeah
And that was called the "Width of Circle"
Are you going to be doing gigs with this band?
Huh, well looking at them, no, yes, we're going to do some gigs
Aren't we Michael?
Michael doesn't really know, he's just come down from Holland
I met him for the first time about two days ago
Through John the drummer who's worked with me once
I see, but you, you are planning to go on the road as it were?
Yes, yes, very shortly
Well, let's hear a little bit more of this band
And this is another song called "Unwashed and Somewhat Slightly Dazed"
