W (BBC Radio One John Peel Concert / 1971)

Life is an endless succession of waves

You're happy and you're sad

And you don't appreciate good times

Until you're in the bad

You wake up one morning, W

And you're twice as unhappy as you've ever been before

In your life

You wake up, go to the window

But you see smoke billowing across the lawn

You pick your feet up

Drag yourself downstairs, and you're gone

You wake up some morning, W

And you're twice as unhappy as you've ever been before

In your life

You wake up, look to your left

But you see no reassuring head

You stay in bed all day

And at six o'clock you realise you're dead

And that was another desolate Vandegraaff Generator landscape

It was called "W", and, er, is to be the B-

Side of their forthcoming single, so I'm told

And it's almost the end of this week's concert as well, too

And our thanks to Vandegraaff Generator, of course

This next one, er, is on the group's most recent LP called "

H to H.E. Who Am The Only One", and it's going to be retired fairly

Soon, so this may be the last chance you get to hear it live

It's about a shark, and it's called "The Killer"
