"Venus In Flares" Lyrics

Venus in Flares
Half Man Half Biscuit
A million housewives every day, pick up a can of beans and say
'What an amazing example of synchronisation�

He looked out of the aeroplane and he saw the Alps way down below
He fixed his gaze upon the white terrain and he could
see a portrait in the snow
And he shouted 'Hey look down there. I can see Robert Powell
That's an ominous example of the power of TV�

And I went la la la la la la la
La la la la la la laaaaaa
I went la la la la la la la
Just like everyone else does when they can't think of any more words

Yeah ok I had a Kojak mac, by Christ they were trendy at the time
I got it into my head that I had to stamp out crime
The man behind the mask at C&As was quite polite
He said that when I wore my mac I wouldn't have to fight

And I went yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah
Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah sure George
Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah
Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah oh God

Well, The Grand Old Duke Of York
Well, he had ten thousand men
And he marched them up to the top of the hill
And he had them all again
