Tooting Bec Wreck

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.

People tell me I'm too high when I'm around,

And when I'm not I'm closer to the ground

Well, I do anything whenever I want,

And I want to do it here and now

I'm on a one-way street, I can't retreat,

'Cos my mind and I play hide and seek

They want to make a problem out of me,

'Cos they want their own problems unseen

My mind's a gallery of memories, I reflect the history

I'm the sort of case of the human race,

That people find hard to face

I'm the living wreck, I live in Tooting Bec,

I'm the Cosmic Ted spaced out of my head

I'm the living wreck, I live in Tooting Bec,

And I'm equal to anyone I've met

I'm the second door on the third floor,

If you've got the key then please unlock me

But hey, don't talk to me, I'm not what you see,

I'm not here today, I'm miles away

It's twice as much reality when you're,

Face to face with history

Yeah its been a long trip, it made me flip

now i'm crawling on your bedroom floor

now i'm climbing up your bathroom wall

and i search i search in this shit i search for the eternal party

is it in my head or is it in my bed?

baby, please baby, I said baby is it here or is it there?

what? the second door on the the third floor

tell me more

I'm the living wreck, I live in Tooting Bec,

I'm the Cosmic Ted spaced out of my head

I'm the living wreck, I live in Tooting Bec,

And I'm equal to anyone I've met

and I'm better than anyone you've met!

I sing la la la la la la la la la

well i just got back from the outer space, they call me the

Flashing Psychedelic Kid

cos i'm spaced out of my head

you know it feels so good when i reappear, and its so sad

to see yourself disappear, i disappear, when i disappear

well its too bad....well, here i go again!
