[UnicornisAlba]: 67.Whimsey.Number 22

Number 22

There’s an old man sitting up there in an apple tree,
with a long disjointed finger, and he’s pointing it at me,
he said You have to be more like the second son,
he took all the money and went on the run.
Hey go
Go Billy go go go
go Billy go go go
driving North along the M1

There’s a woman who’s expecting to be told she’s wrong,
she’s waiting for a taxi to come right along,
the driver says I might not be the one you need,
but if you wait much longer you will go to seed.
Hey go
Go Sally go go go
go Sally go go go
hitch-hiking along the M1

Seven seals to open right along the way,
and every one is brighter than the light of day,
one by one they’re cleaning up the seven seas,
seven candles lighting up the olive trees.
Hey go
Go Johnny go go go
go Johnny go go go
flying South along the M1

Number twenty-two is driving me insane,
better get the hell out of the shipping lane,
I live the life I want to live the life I choose,
if I remain my only truth I cannot lose.
Hey go
Go Frankie go go go
go Frankie go go go
sailing out along the M1
