It's my Iceland
No it's my Iceland
It's Bjork's Iceland
No it's my Iceland

Out in the country
Yeah we're driving high
petting the sheep all day
out in the country
yeah we're fiving high
feeding the ducks yeah way

How many Lion bars does it take to get to Gullfoss?
Well that's easy
It's 46 miles away
23

Out in the country 
woo the road has stopped
driving on gravel yay
out in the country
yeah we're driving in 
alien landscape play

Is there a good hamburger stand with girls working in 80's makeup around here?
Oh yes
just up the gravel

It's my Iceland
No it's my Iceland
Bjork will have your head
No it's my Iceland

Out in the country 
yeah we're driving high
petting the sheep all day
out in the country 
yeah we're fiving high
feeding the ducks yeah way
out in the country
yeah we're flying high
out in the country 
yeah we're fiving high
feeding the ducks all day

Wondrous water for your eye ailment 
trickling down

My Iceland

Mr Wiggly
I think there's something wrong
My head it had the funnies
the funnies they have gone
the same old scene is really bringing me down
Mr Wiggly turned to say

Have a rainbow drop
it'll cure your head
and float you off to sleep
riding a bouncing sheep
till you're awake
below your skin
a big top tent
and contained within 
a smile
happiness again

Uncle Wiggly's rainbow drops

Deirdre found her mother's crystal ball
in an attic box
Dropped it down the cellar stairs
It kept going through the magma

Popped up in a 
Japanese bowling alley ball return
Akira spotted it
and swooped on in

Popcorn popping in the butter bag
trampoline walls and laser tag

I'm taking you home to turn you on
whisper your words from way beyond

Beeline for a feline


(Tascam 4 track cassette demo)

Mother's crystal ball

Cuckoo, cuckoo
don't come calling 
lose an hour or two
head on down past gears and pulleys
pinecones now in view
Hopping deer need time to rest
and dancing ladies too
Cuckoo, cuckoo
don't come calling 
hide away cause 
Sunday evenings
want to murder you

Cuckoo

I wanna go
with dark hearts 
to rock candy mountains 
sunshine and chocolate bars
spinning owl heads
and doorbells to the dead
installed in attics of the joyous
just to be a real annoyance
to those who 
kicked your pet in the head
to those who 
haven't heard what you've said
sunny and 77

Take us to the 17th floor
the one with the glass
never ending hall
forbidden fruit to the untrained eye
swirling pools for you and I
sunny and 77

To those who

Rolling down a hill
in the fresh cut grass yeah
we're rolling down a hill for free

Light rain falls 
in my 1803 TV
Flanked by furriness 
and a cup of tea

Race you to the shuttlecock court..

Welcome to my backyard shrubbery maze
no one behaves around here
Listen for the owls
up in the trees
they give a hoot
you're traveling this route 
today

1803 TV

She shook and launched
a bug from the lake of her eye

Hanging off the ice cream truck
watching all the barns blur by
they flicker and they flash 
reflections of the sky

Lake of her eye
Wooden ships they sail below
the creature in the sky
Lake of her eye

Over 1.2 million square feet
of pure shopping pleasure awaits you
Shop like you mean it

Chess king boy
meets Merry go round girl

Saw you walking
through the mall
Escalator etiquette 
applies to all
You kept moving
I'm enthralled
VCR fast forward 
to my floor

Saw you walking
through the mall
Def Leppard tee
with the cut off sleeves
You changed direction
as I strolled by
The sound of my store
lured the aminals inside

And now we stroll
stroll towards the distant sound

Chess king boy
meets Merry go round girl

Theodore in platforms
stepped on to the dance floor
like a centaur
Fog dispersed 
in his cool stride 
like ghosts in fear
of leg warmers

Chess king boy
meets Merry go round girl

Lake of her eye
Wooden ships they sail below
the creature in the sky
Lake of her eye

Lake of her eye

Run with me

Upside down house

On a spinning ride with you girl
long hair for my face
on a lengthy seesaw 
don't you look so good in space
till everybody knows 
about your sale
kites and tiny orchids peeking pails
till everybody knows

Leafy Nowhere
