Big Fat Silver Aeroplane
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.
Big fat silver aeroplane is shufflin' through the sky
Full of big fat people it's a wonder you can fly
I don't like you
And you wanna know the reason why
It's because I don't
Eternal East-West hedge walker turn the Sunday joint...
Laughing gas is more than mete for any pointless point...
Spliff me plenty
And you wanna know the reason why
Well turn again Whittington...
Shiny demon firework-eater tell me what you see
I see a Siamese twin universe a'growing out of me...
I believe you
And you wanna know the reason why
It's because you're right
Pop-eyed rabbit medal sucker, whirlwind living drowned..
Sinkin' in the splinters of the ecstasy of sound
You'll be blind soon
And you wanna know the reason why
It's because your head'll fall off
Cuckoo-headed journeyman inside your rubber Zen
The i-Ching in your buttonhole was painted with a pen...
The fire is cold now
And you wanna know the reason why
It's because I watered it
Polystyrene obelisk your man is on the ground
His tinsel gaze is blazing an illusion he's not found
But he's not dead yet
And you wanna know the reason why
It's because he's breathing
He's breathing
