Andy Partridge, a Hello Selection, November 1994

"All instruments played by Andy Partridge and recorded in his garden shed."

Prince of Orange

Look at these hands
Spokes of the Sun God delay you, Spray you
Prince of Orange, climb the ladder
Prince of Orange will die.

Brass robinettes
Trumpet and drums for the taking, baking
Prince of Orange, climb the ladder
Prince of Orange will die.

All the food he steals is all right
Far the tall and gentle poplar
Causing fanfare to those listening
Now

Drape 'round your head
Mischief and secrets in green kelt, all hell
Prince of Orange, climb the ladder
Prince of Orange will die.

Look at these lands (--- --- ---)
You'll get no books for your dinner
Sinner
Prince of Orange, climb the ladder
Prince of Orange will die.

It's Snowing Angels

It's snowing angels, on my front porch
Take a broom and sweep one in
I'm such a lucky guy, such a lucky guy
Even though my shoes have broken
I can't deny my toes
The right to fresh air
And the joy of poking through
It's snowing angels
Hope I'll catch me one

It's snowing angels
By my window
Take a net and fish one in
I'm such a lucky guy, such a lucky guy
Even though I got no money
This bear won't be hibernating
Or I'd miss the sight of all the honey strolling by
It's snowing angels
Hope I'll catch me one

I'm such a lucky guy, such a lucky guy
Even though my shoes have broken
I can't deny my toes
The right to fresh air
And the joy of poking through
It's snowing angels
Hope I'll catch me
Hope I'll catch me
Hope I'll catch me one

Candymine

Dig, dig down...
Dig, dig down...

(Chorus)
Candymine, candymine, tunnelling to honey for a girl so fine
Candymine, candymine, tunnelling to honey for a girl so fine

Wake up every morning when the clock strikes six
Pick up my girlfriend and we pick up sticks
Digging for her sweet love and I can't waste time
Working down that candymine

(Chorus)

Finish every evening when the clock strikes five
Home to my queen bee and our private hive
Digging for her sweet love and I can't waste time
Working down that candymine

(Chorus)

Dig, dig, down...

(Spoken)
We've got to get the candy out of the candy mine!
Let's get working!

(Chorus x 4)

Some Lovely (My Brown Guitar)

In my heart, in my heart

You want some lovely, I got some lovely
I've got some lovely in my head, in my head
Where the lions, wear the right eye,
where the jems (?) roar, there be lovely

You want some lovely, I got some lovely
In my bed, in my bed
Where the ocean wears the shore down
Where's the on switch?
There be lovely laying waiting naked for you

(Chorus)
We can play every day
We can play at being lovers
We can play every day
We can play on my brown guitar

(Repeat Chorus)

You want some lovely, I got some lovely
In my yard, in my yard
There be inchworm, there be footlong
There be yardstick stir some lovely
Laying waiting naked for you

You want some lovely, I got some lovely
In my field, in my field
There be green grass, there be big sky
There be blue birds come and nest there

(Chorus X 2)

You want some lovely, I got some lovely
In my heart, in my heart for you
