lyrics

Alias in wonderland
Don’t eat your shipmates when you’re stranded on an island
Don’t ask the natives for a recipe
Sooner or later comes down to human nature
They’ll all have contracts with the BBC
Wait for the cavalry to save the day

And take an alias in wonderland, if you’ve got nothing better planned
Make your dreams suit their demands and take an alias in wonderland

Don’t shine a light in the eyes of your redeemer
Don’t push too hard in case the walls fall down
They’ll tell you Gabriel blew his horn for freedom
That’s just old Satchmo playing way down town
And kimosabe blows himself away

Chorus
Locked in the cowshed here’s some good advise
Step in it once, why not step in it twice

Don’t sell your soul unless you’re sure to make a profit
Throw away your crutches and we’ll all fall down
Don’t pay your bill relax you’re on vacation
Stand by the sea and watch the fishes drown
