| White line fever
|
| I got it off the children of Captain Beefheart
|
| They’d been locked in the forest for many years
|
| They could not help it
|
| They were retards from the Los Angeles district
|
| There was Tim
|
| There was Tim 2
|
| There was Rob
|
| There was Dave the Eagle
|
| And the mad Greek woman, The Hydra
|
| It was White Line Fever
|
| Over and over again
|
| Over and over again
|
| They had us trapped in the hills
|
| Playing their Los Angeles music over and over
|
| It sounded like Amon Duul at first
|
| But in fact it was a plot by three of them
|
| We thought they wore masks
|
| Until we asked them to take them off
|
| They took the trout replica a bit too far
|
| They would copy Darkly My Love
|
| They were cool cats
|
| They were White Line Fever
|
| They were a bunch of twats
|
| White Line Fever
|
| White Line Fever
|
| Often on the beach they would play for ever and ever
|
| In the sandy surf of L.A. County
|
| One day they put their sandals on
|
| And decided to go in to Rochdale
|
| They were pretty outta sight
|
| Orpheo, the ancient name from Greece
|
| Orpheo, Tim Presley… how many names did they have?
|
| Nobody knew
|
| Was it Latin?
|
| Was it Yamaha?
|
| Nobody knew
|
| So they traveled like the born again Christians
|
| Or the Jehovah’s Witnesses
|
| So they traveled and traveled
|
| Till they reached the holy town of Ro’dale
|
| And Nob End
|
| And Ramsbottom
|
| To find their true wagon, Christianity
|
| They were so happy!
|
| They were so happy, they could not describe it themselves!
|
| Festivals
|
| Sauna in the hotels
|
| Fantastic views of the English countryside
|
| They were besides themselves with happiness
|
| Their tour guide, Dave
|
| Put a stocking over his head, and you couldn’t tell the difference
|
| Following their leader blindlessly and obeying in all goodness
|
| The long trail to the Lancashire hilltops
|
| Happy in their fulfillment
|
| Little did they know they were paying by the minute
|
| For the tape they were wasting |
