[00:02.557] Did you believe those things
[00:05.015] We read in the papers?
[00:08.169] And never mind that, can you meet me
[00:10.298] Down at the Time Warp tonight?
[00:13.016]
[00:13.646] Oh you look divine,
[00:15.692] That suit would get you into anywhere.
[00:19.718] Tonight I'll be, as you can see,
[00:22.434] The idol of an island far, far away
[00:24.579]
[00:25.612] A man of straw in cloth of gold,
[00:32.127] Look into his eyes at the days of old,
[00:37.365] And bow to the cloth,
[00:43.861] And bow to the cloth.
[00:49.097]
[00:52.211] Can you believe those things
[00:53.803] We've seen in the papers?
[00:58.086] And never mind that, can you get
[00:59.720] to the bar before the next egg starts?
[01:02.123]
[01:03.070] The word goes round the eyes of a wife,
[01:06.180] And magazines with shiny pages,
[01:09.275] And my hay-head where will it stop?
[01:12.220] And the boys in the shop continue to bop
[01:15.012]
[01:15.493] A man of straw in cloth of gold,
[01:21.481] Look into his eyes to the days of old,
[01:26.923] And bow to the cloth,
[01:33.064] Bow to the cloth.
[01:38.948]
[01:54.129] Heading down, getting further down,
[01:57.334] And we've hit an iceberg,
[02:00.104] But I don't care what the people think,
[02:03.368] I will drink and drink till the damn ship sinks
[02:06.009]
[02:06.263] A man of straw in cloth of gold,
[02:12.390] Look into his eyes to the days of old,
[02:18.301] A drowning man in a metal coat,
[02:24.053] The prince has fallen into the moat,
[02:29.857] To the cloth, to the cloth.
