Lyrics
The Perfect Dose
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.
Yesterday the martians came
They weren't yellow green or grey
They looked a bit like us with a funny nose
Linguistic problems never occurred
Dyslectic creatures, mocking birds
They talked a little strange
A bit like Mo
More tempting than Julianne Moore
More funny than Carry Grant
Yesterday the martians came
The trip had made them a little pale
They came from very far but yet so close
Not closer than the corner shop
But still they were so on top
Saving their own ship with a fire hose
Using the perfect dose
Turning the river dry
More tempting than Julianne Moore
More funny than Carry Grant
