Peter Hammill - Birthday Special Lyrics
I've got something to say,and it ain't the usual sob-storythat you hear every day,I've got something to ask,and I know that now's the time,now all the rooms of the party are dark. Proffer me the candy, yes, I understand ees fine; blow another candle out and throw another line....Birthday girl, I've got something for you,there's ice in the cauldron, look out now;birthday girl, here come a speciallike Hansel and Gretel never had.There's parrots in the pantryand there's lizards in the loothere's bloaters in the bathroomand this party is a zoo;I'm sitting in the kitchentrying hard to talk to youBirthday girl....I just wanted to saythat I'd like to make this the happiest of your birthdaysand if that means turning the keythen I'll turn it with you and there'll be no doubtabout the way I agree,Birthday girl....--------------------------------------------------------------
