E=MC2 Lyrics

[00:23.85] Why don't you play the tune now
[00:27.05] I don't like music
[00:28.40] Come on, you little geezer
[00:31.06] You'll look funny when you're fifty
[00:36.98] Somebody I never met
[00:38.61] But in a way I know
[00:40.38] Didn't think that you could get
[00:42.26] So much from a picture show
[00:44.51] Man dies first reel
[00:45.94] People ask what's the deal?
[00:47.71] This ain't how it's supposed to be
[00:49.57] Don't like no aborigine
[00:51.60] Took a trip in Powis Square
[00:53.20] Pop star dyed his hair
[00:55.20] No fans to scream and shout
[00:56.82] When mobsters came to flush him out
[00:58.83] Gangland slaying underground
[01:00.48] New identity must be found
[01:02.45] On the left bank for a while
[01:04.45] Insanity Bohemian style
[01:06.01] Ritual ideas relativity
[01:10.09] Only buildings, no people prophecy
[01:13.42] Time slide, place to hide, nudge reality
[01:17.09] Foresight, minds wide, magic imagery Oh, ho, oh, ho
[01:23.87]
[01:28.85] Met a dwarf that was no good
[01:30.22] Dressed like little red Robin Hood
[01:32.22] Bad habit taking life
[01:33.83] Calling card a six inch knife
[01:36.09] Ran off really fast
[01:37.77] Mumbled something 'bout the past
[01:39.46] Best sex I've ever seen
[01:41.14] As if each moment was the last
[01:42.91] Drops of blood, colour slide
[01:44.95] Funeral for his bride
[01:46.60] But it's him who's really dead
[01:48.79] Gets to take the funeral ride
[01:50.76] Ritual ideas relativity
[01:54.39] Only buildings, no people prophecy
[01:57.74] Time slide, place to hide, nudge reality
[02:01.49] Foresight, minds wide, magic imagery
[02:06.24]
[02:17.33] You know, I don't think I'm gonna let you stay in the film business
[02:28.05] I like a bit of a cavort
[02:30.06] I don't answer solicitor's letters
[02:32.61] I apply a bit of pressure
[02:35.16] Space guy fell from the sky
[02:36.95] Scratched my head and wondered why
[02:38.53] Time slides into time
[02:40.59] Across international dateline
[02:42.25] Scientist eats bubblegum
[02:44.49] Hall of fame, baseball
[02:45.82] Senators are Hoodlum
[02:47.84] Big chiefs in the hall
[02:49.48] Ritual ideas relativity
[02:53.26] Only buildings, no people prophecy
[02:56.93] Time slide, place to hide, nudge reality
[03:00.63] Foresight, minds wide, magic imagery Oh, ho, oh, ho
[03:05.41]
[03:11.99] Stray thoughts, fear to tread
[03:13.66] Placed upon the screen instead
[03:15.66] She's my flame too hot to hold
[03:17.27] Had to settle for her cold
[03:19.22] Bloodlust, Greek God, Gold discovery
[03:22.81] Gone bust, tight wad, slow recovery
[03:26.52] Axe job, flame thrower, iron bar and gun
[03:30.55] Betting shop, new owner, a walk in the sun
[03:33.86] Ritual ideas relativity
[03:38.12] Only buildings, no people prophecy
[03:41.22] Time slide, place to hide, nudge reality
[03:44.94] Foresight, minds wide, magic imagery Oh, ho, oh, ho
[03:49.64]
[03:56.12] Spread the news the Maestro's back
[03:57.98] With a beat-box soundtrack
[03:59.82] The king of brains, queen of the sack'
[04:01.84] Executives have heart attack
[04:03.53] It's assault course celluloid
[04:05.48] The money makers would avoid
[04:07.45] Sometimes notions get reversed
[04:09.19] Centre of the universe
[04:10.84] Ritual ideas relativity
[04:14.79] Only buildings, no people prophecy
[04:18.48] Time slide, place to hide, nudge reality
[04:22.08] Foresight, minds wide, magic imagery Oh, ho, oh, ho
[04:26.58]
[04:37.89] (Who do you think you are, the lone ranger)
[04:45.21] (You're Jack the lad)
[04:48.61]
[05:10.74] Ritual ideas relativity
[05:13.67] Only buildings, no people prophecy
[05:17.37] Time slide, place to hide, nudge reality
[05:20.96] Foresight, minds wide, magic imagery, Oh, ho, oh, ho
[05:32.32] Ritual ideas relativity
[05:35.74] All these buildings, no people prophecy
[05:39.43] Time slide, place to hide, nudge reality
[05:43.17] Foresight, minds wide, magic imagery
[05:46.41] Oh, ho, oh, ho
[05:53.76]
