The Adventures Of Albatross and Doggerel

The albatross is fading fast

He's falling through the looking-glass

And as the world he knows recedes

No one can hear his fervent pleas

Ah ah, ah ah, ah ah, ah ah, ah ah

His loyal friend the doggerel

Was holding court but here he fell

He sees his life go slipping past

Until he says with his last gasp

Ah ah, ah ah, ah ah, ah ah, ah ah

I can see everything

I can hear everything

But I can't do anything for you

Ooh

They come ashore seeing trees serene

And face an ocean's fractured green

Now in the distance they'll swell

Around a tune they know so well

Ah ah, ah ah, ah ah, ah ah, ah ah

I can see everything

I can hear everything

But I can't do anything for you

Ooh

And albatross and doggerel

Imagine life before they fell

You were the emblem of her truth

Now we are bark without the tooth

Ah ah, ah ah, ah ah, ah ah, ah ah

I can see everything

I can hear everything

But I can't do anything for you

No I can't do anything for you

No I can't do anything for you

Ooh
