Dogboy John - Original Genius

Lime and limpid green, a second scene, a fight between the blue you once knew
Emily tries but misunderstands
When we grew up and went to school
We don't need no education
Overhead the albatross hangs motionless upon the air
Hey you, out there in the cold


Little by little the night turns around
Money, get away
There's a silence surrounding me
Harmlessly passing your time in the grassland away
The sweet smell of a great sorrow lies over the land
Remember when you were young
Ticking away the moments that make up a dull day
Take all your overgrown infants away somewhere
Hello
It was just before dawn

Us, and them
Into the distance, a ribbon of black
Arnold Layne had a strange hobby
So, so you think you can tell
It's awfully considerate of you to think of me here
Beyond the horizon of the place we lived when we were young
I've got a bike, you can ride it if you like
