WINDOWS

the sky is red, and sea-gulls are flying east

if it wasn't for Wednesdays, there'd only be six days a week

bricks lie on top of each other, but don't seem to know it

windows are windows are windows are windows are windows

windows are windows are windows are windows are windows

 

magazines lie, on tables and chairs and floors

when I get up out of bed, I think I'll go and watch some telly

it's half-past three now, but in an hour's time it'll be half past four

windows are windows are windows are windows are windows

windows are windows are windows are windows are windows

 

we mow the lawns, then water then to make them grow

the noise of the city is too loud, so I turn on the radio

soon I'll be moving, but still I'm standing still

windows are windows are windows are windows are windows

windows are windows are windows are windows are windows

 

floors hold up walls ~ hold up ceilings ~ hold up floors ~ hold up walls

worms squirm, rats scavenge, birds fly

I like to think, that you like to think, that I think

windows are windows are windows are windows are windows

windows are windows are windows are windows are windows

 

one, two, three, four, five

six, seven, eight, nine, ten

eleven, twelve, thirteen, fourteen, fifteen

windows are windows are windows are windows are windows

windows are windows are windows are windows are windows
