"Who Built The Pyramids?" lyrics
"Who Built The Pyramids?"
Who built the Pyramids?
Who built Stonehenge?
Who built Mount Rushmore
And made them look friends
Who put the walls up?
Who built the dam?
Divided the loved ones
From number one fan
Who filled the rivers?
The oceans as well
Who put the crack in
The Liberty Bell?
Must have been angels
You have to agree
Made it imperfect
A little like me
Apart from the bridges
That took us across
Every invention
Caused more of a loss
The ferry, the aeroplanes
The rocket to Moon
Took us away from
Our lovers too soon
Who built the railroad?
Who laid the track?
Sold them a single
So they ain't coming back
Swine to the abattoir
Horse to the cart
Freedom of movement
Has forced us apart
But just who designed the
Centennial Light
Well over a century
Through day and through night
While other lights faded
It's still shining through
Made to perfection
A little like you
Apart from the bridges
That took us across
Every construction
Was more of a loss
The ferry, the aeroplanes
The rocket to Moon
Took us away from
Our lovers too soon
Each brave new invention
Is greeted as such
But for love and affection
It never does much
Tried to divide us
So rarely to meet
Sent satellite signal
Right through our street
Little old me
Little old you
Who took our hearts
And broke them in two?

Babybird - "You're Gorgeous" Remember that tank-top you bought me?
You wrote "You're gorgeous" on it
You took me to your rented motor car
And filmed me on the bonnet
You got me to hitch my knees up
And pulled my legs apart
