Smartie Mine
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
The paint is not yet dry
The clothes are not yet on
Only one place where I could
Go to be understood
Only one place
Only one face
Smartie mine
Smartie mine
Smartie mine
Smartie mine
I wanna go
Deep down smartie mine
Down a shaft of green
Down a shaft of blue
I have a paint brush
I wanna spread my colors around
Not to be careless, though
Only one place to go
Smartie mine
Smartie mine
Smartie mine
Smartie mine
Deep down under the ground
There's a place where it's always sun
Deep down under the Earth
There's chocolate for everyone
There's chocolate for everyone
Down a shaft of red
Down a shaft of red
Not be too nervous though
We've come too far
Smartie mine
Smartie mine
Smartie mine
Smartie mine
Smartie mine
Smartie mine
Smartie mine
Smartie mine
I wanna go
Deep down smartie mine
Smartie mine
Smartie mine
