Lyrics

Gerald, Gerald! It’s not your birthday, it’s mine!
In your mind were all philistines
and we don’t really understand the things you do
Please bear in mind that we’re limited and may re-use
‘cause our lexicon of words and themes and musical ideas
is not big, so let’s do our bit, boy, to recycle.
Ooh, look at you!
Finally, you’ve made the grade - yeah -
Pour it from the plastic and then sip it from the styrofoam
Married and handsomely paid - right -
Top it off with cow juice and some oil from the halcyon days
There’s not enough time to repair what is broken
from our tawdry youth
The poison and slime, the culmination weighs and strains
and the sun will glow, the rain will flow
the temperature grows little by bit
So enjoy the heat, boy
I will keep you warm at night
You will be my moon
You will be my dandelion
I will be your ruse, your ruse
That’s what you get when hide from your mother
run with your lover to another place
Wouldn’t you like to grow? Oh no!
That’s what you get when you hide undercover
run from us on a summer holiday
Wouldn’t you like to grow? Oh no!
That’s what you get when you pillage and blunder
crush all that’s under for a photo frame
That’s what you get when you blast us asunder
laugh at the thunder and his company
That’s what you get when you smash blip and plunder
crash, tip and wonder where you’re gonna stay
That’s what you get when you flash, trip, fall under
Leave now and never, ever come again
That’s what you get when you sing for your supper
you’ll sing for it on your summer holiday
Well now, wouldn’t you like to know?!
Gerald, Gerald! It’s not your birthday, it’s mine!
All the growing we’ve done in the burning sun
I still know that we’re heading for a fall
On such a sunny afternoon I really hope we’re gonna make it soon
Really think we’re gonna make it, too
Try to embrace it, try to stay alive
Try not to waste it, life’s still on your side
Try not to fake it, you’ll be paralysed
Pass it on
Glad you could make the show
