Here comes lightbulb head The Water Board are looking for leaks The market trader are selling their onions Here comes lightbulb head Solar energy panels recharging the future Taking his pet robot out for a walk whilst wearing his hover shoes So he don’t wear the soles out Running for an electronic bus with flat feet Lightbulb lightbulb lightbulb head Lightbulb lightbulb lightbulb head Lightbulb lightbulb lightbulb head Switch him on mama he’s got a Lightbulb on his head Acting the dunce and trying to be brainy Collecting the raindrops when it’s raining His brain always aches from the things he’s been thinking But most of them don’t make sense He’ll make a mint after 8 When his ideas sell But you know we’re always exchanging William for Willam Tell Lightbulb lightbulb lightbulb head Lightbulb lightbulb lightbulb head Lightbulb lightbulb lightbulb head Switch him on mama he’s got a Lightbulb on his head Switch him on mama he’s got a Lightbulb on his head Switch him on mama he’s got a Lightbulb on his head Switch him on mama he’s got a Lightbulb on his head Switch him on mama he’s got a Lightbulb on his head

Death Scare 03:54
Death Scare Sitting in an English Garden Sitting here just waiting, watching time go by Time go by Someone calls they break the spell You nearly left your empty shell Your empty shell Your empty shell Ah Ah Death Scare Ah ah Death Scare Death Scare Death Scare And when I die there’ll be no I Just the ticking of the ticking clock The ticking clock I face the black I face the grave I face the one the one that said he would be saved Would be saved Ah Ah Death Scare Ah ah Death Scare Death Scare Death Scare So I walk around pickup photos and putting in bags Sitting in an English Garden Sitting here just waiting, watching time go by Time go by Someone calls they break the spell You nearly lost your empty shell Your empty shell Your empty shell Ah Ah Death Scare Ah ah Death Scare Death Scare Death Scare

England in the Rain Sometimes dazzled by the world again Rain falls softly on old England again Paths cross rather like two incidents Jigsaw puzzling away alone again Children playing in the rain again England, England in the rain Sunday yawns sleepy day of forget me nots England , England in the rain, again Strangers passing in the street again Thoughts lost in trampled pools of Indigo Umbrellas arched up to the sky again Sometimes life is rather magical Sometimes things feel far too tragical England, England in the rain Sunday yawns sleepy forget me nots England , England in the rain, again

Skimming Stones I’ve spoken to you I spoke yesterday But I didn’t have too much to say Just skimming stones Wasting my time Wishing that you would one day be mine There was something in my head All those things that are unsaid Meet me down by the beach cafe We could watch the tide roll in I’ve spoken to you but it’s hard to say Why some people look so grey Just skimming stones wasting my time Wishing that she would one day be mine There was something in my head All those things that are unsaid Meet me down by the beach cafe We could watch the tide roll in skimming stones skimming stones skimming stones skimming stones

Suddenly September Ah ah We kinda knew This thing would end ‘Cos in July you were my friend We found a haven By the sea A special place For you and me The sea shells found From sandy ground The nights we shared along the beach Suddenly quite suddenly Its September Suddenly quite suddenly It’s September Ah ah You said you’d write which of course you did But August left and then you never did Photographs I have of you Are reminders of the time Spent with you Summer days have gone away We’ll never capture those days again Suddenly quite suddenly Its September Suddenly quite suddenly It’s September suddenly September

Hair-do Curly ,short and long suits you Blowdried, crimped or dyed Hair-do Suits you Plaited twirled hair sprayed perfumed squirmed Hair-do Suits you Eyes turn don’t be surprised Short shape long cascading Bleached by the sun Hair-do Suits you Frizzy and dizzy Auburn black or pink The hairdresser asks you exactly what you think Punkified ,prim and proper Your hair do is an absolute party stopper Beaded Cropped Extended befriended Hair do Suits you Hair-do Suits you well Hair-do Suits you Hair-do Suits you well Oh Yeah

about

Christopher John White Kingston Upon Thames, UK

Chris White lived in Kingston for most of his life. He went to Latchmere school and then to Rivermead Boys School, which was definitely the hardest school in Surrrey. At 15 he had a nervous breakdown and then recovered for a couple of years; and this pattern repeated for most of his life. Along the way he created some interesting music. He finally died of a rare form of cancer, still singing. ... more
