About the Artist
Lyrics
I can see very well There's a boat on the reef with a broken back And I can see it very well There's a joke and I know it very well It's one of those that I told you long ago Take my word I'm a madman don't you know Once a fool had a good part in the play If it's so would I still be here today? It's quite peculiar in a funny sort of way They think it's very funny everything I say Get a load of him, he's so insane You'd better get your coat dear It looks like rain We'll come again next Thursday afternoon The in-laws hope they'll see you very soon But is it in your conscience that you're after Another glimpse of the Madman across the Water I can see very well There's a boat on the reef with a broken back And I can see it very well There's a joke and I know it very well It's one of those that I told you long ago Take my word I'm a madman don't you know The ground's a long way down but I need more Is the nightmare really black Or are the windows painted? Will they come again next week Can my mind really take it? We'll come again next Thursday afternoon The inlaws hope they'll see you very soon But is it in your conscience that you're after Another glimpse of the Madman across the Water
