Arnold
Layne had a strange hobby
Collecting clothes
Moonshine washing line
They suit him fine
On the wall
hung a tall mirror
Distorted view, see through baby blue
He dug it
Oh, Arnold
Layne
It's not the same, takes two to know
Two to know, two to know
Why can't you see?
Arnold Layne,
Arnold Layne, Arnold Layne
Now he's caught, a nasty sort of person
They gave him time
Doors bang, chain gang
He hates it
Oh, Arnold
Layne
It's not the same, takes two to know
Two to know, two to know
Why can't you see?
Arnold Layne,
Arnold Layne, Arnold Layne
Don't do it again
Oh
my girl sitting in the sun
Go buy candy and a currant bun
I like good to see you
Lay flat
Oh talk, talk
sweet
Please just talk with me
Please you know I'm feeling frail
It's true, sunshine is very bright
It's you, I'm gonna love tonight
Ice cream, taste good in the afternoon
Ice cream, taste good if you eat it soon
Oooh, don't touch me child
Please you know you drive me wild
Please you know I'm feeling frail
Don't try another cat
Don't go a lot like that, you must know
I'm very very very bad
Oh my girl sitting
in the sun
Go buy candy and a currant bun
I like good to see you
Lay flat
Emily
tries but misunderstands
She's often inclined to borrow somebody's dreams till tomorrow
There is no
other day
Let's try it another way
You'll lose your mind in play
Free games for may
See Emily play
Soon after
dark Emily cries
Gazing through trees in sorrow hardly a sound till tomorrow
There is no
other day
Let's try it another way
You'll lose your mind in play
Free games for may
See Emily play
Put on a gown
that touches the ground
Float on a river forever and ever, Emily
There is no
other day
Let's try it another way
You'll lose your mind in play
Free games for may
See Emily play
Got
a fliptop packet of cigarettes in her pocket
Feeling good at the top shopping in shop shoes
Walking in the sunshine town feeling very cool
But the butchers and the bakers in the supermarket stores
Getting everything she wants from the supermarket stores
Apples and
oranges
Apples and oranges
Cornering me as she trips up sweetly
To meet the people
She's on time again
And then
I catch her by the eye then I stop and have to think
What a funny thing to do 'cause I'm feeling very pink
Apples and
oranges
Apples and oranges
I love she
She loves me
See you, see you
Thought you might like to know
I'm the lorrydriver man
She's on the run
Down by the riverside
feeding ducks in the afternoon time
Apples and
oranges
Apples and oranges
Apples and oranges
Last
night I had too much to drink
Sitting in a club with so many fools
Playing to rules
Trying to impress but feeling rather empty
I had another drink
What a way to spend that evening
They all turn up with their friends
Playing the game
Here in the scene or I should have been
Far away
Getting up
first without remembering this scene before
I open the door to an empty room
Then I forget
The telephone rings and someone speaks
She would very much like to go out to a show
So what can I do, I can't think what to say
She sees through anyway
Out of the front door I go
Traffic's moving rather slow
Arriving late, there she waits
Looking very angry, as cross as she can be
Getting up
first without remembering this scene before
I open the door to an empty room
Then I forget
