Life is an endless succession of waves
You're happy and you're sad
And you don't appreciate good times
Until you're in the bad
You wake up one morning, W
And you're twice as unhappy as you've ever been before
In your life
You wake up, go to the window
But you see smoke billowing across the lawn
You pick your feet up
Drag yourself downstairs, and you're gone
You wake up some morning, W
And you're twice as unhappy as you've ever been before
In your life
You wake up, look to your left
But you see no reassuring head
You stay in bed all day
And at six o'clock you realise you're dead
And that was another desolate Vandegraaff Generator landscape
It was called "W", and, er, is to be the B-
Side of their forthcoming single, so I'm told
And it's almost the end of this week's concert as well, too
And our thanks to Vandegraaff Generator, of course
This next one, er, is on the group's most recent LP called "
H to H.E. Who Am The Only One", and it's going to be retired fairly
Soon, so this may be the last chance you get to hear it live
It's about a shark, and it's called "The Killer"
