Evil Eye Lyrics

Evil Eye
In a tumble-down of moon-dust
and the rain was falling fast
and a panther started
crawling ‘round the bend
There was Len and there was Cherry
and the Pope was making merry
Signing papal bulls
while chatting to a friend
In a bluster of confusion
down the red-brick colonnade
came a crowd of martyred saints
with all their wives
Life is short, but life is happy:
You can dance, but make it snappy
Or you’ll finish

with a stomach full of knives
Evil Eye, evil oh
Now you see it, now you don’t
Turn it ‘round,
flying down in the mirror
See a glimmer in the watch-glass
and a shimmer in the lens
See the telescopic flashing in the sky
Watch the Moon Man’s ugly sister
Watch the sun and see it blister
See the answer
in the crackling of an eye
Evil Eye, evil oh
‘round the corner watch it go
Asking why live a lie
in the mirror
Evil Eye, evil oh
Leave a lie, live alone
Evil Eye, evil oh
in the mirror
