1 Girl on the Tube next to me Talks in a cute Tennessee Bag in her lap Checking the wrap On some Eau de Cologne She leaves a message for Steve Sounds like he got a reprieve Says things will look up Tells him they'll hook up at Mary Lebone (At six thirty-three) And she's melted right into the crowd And she's turning her headphones to loud And I'll never see under that cloud Or learn how it turns out Got to find out what the deal is Got to know who the schlemiel is 'Cos somebody ought to be Taking her home From Mary Lebone 2 Tuesdays I swear every line rings Customer care isn't my thing Slam it to mute 'Cos I'm planning a route Back to Mary Lebone Highsider blocks up the street Cab driver stops for a leak Finally arrive By six forty-five At Mary Lebone (And what do you know) There's a hint of a tear on her dress There's a glint of a tear on her face But she's still sitting there nonetheless And she's all All alone Aubergine eyes might unhinge me Looks like she dropped the Givenchy Says that she's clumsy - She just let it fall I say 'it happens - Don't worry at all 'Cos I'll pick up the pieces if ever you call And it's only a stone's throw from my home - To Mary Lebone' © 2012 The Tracy Boys, Puppet State Media All Rights Reserved

SELF MADE MAN www.thetracyboys.com/lyrics 1 She moved from Leyton 'cos it lost the appeal She's relocating to estate that is real That little bijoux in Manhattan's a steal Throws in a kilo just to sweeten the deal She's a self-made man She's a self-made man 2 She raises dust with a banker from Rio He's on the cusp but she'd prefer a Leo She's looking out for an alpha romeo To play some doubles or perhaps just a trio She's a self-made man She's a self-made man She's Daddy's daughter He took them all in He made a fortune Savvy offshoring Her big supporter Bought her a Breitling Didn't she oughta Oughta be more like him? 3 She's tired of Necker, now she goes European The air is better and it's easier skiing Puts in an offer on a sanatorium She's sending Legal to Geneva to see 'em She's a self-made man She's a self-made man She's a self-made man She's a self-made man Smarter than midi Part of the city She's a self-made man Sweeter than Sugar Hard as a Luger She's a self-made man Small residences All on expenses She's a self-made man Hotter than Ryan in a suit and a tie, and She's a self-made man ©2012 The Tracy Boys, Puppet State Media All Rights Reserved

1 Last sight of Sumatra Ragged steamer running heavy on the leg First night out of harbour Eight bells and a champagne bar is set His suit's black as java Pink feathers and a pearl around her neck She swings with Sinatra And he smiles... 2 Bright moon on the water Light gown that she found in old Quebec Sips Syrah he poured her Now they're wound like chain on the weatherdeck She's a spark in the tinder He's powder in the keg She danced Like De Carlo And he smiles... Like Gregory Peck 3 White foam off the larbord Jagged reef splits the waves in silhouette Helm down, hard to starboard One breach and the iron queen's in check Deep calls to the deepest Your sons must come and pay respect She clings like Dietrich And he smiles... Like Gregory Peck ©2012 The Tracy Boys, Puppet State Media All Rights Reserved

PADAWAN www.thetracyboys.com/lyrics 1 He's selling merchandise Convention capes with a lamé lining, He had to hike the price To get a table near the all-star signing Her Lincoln just arrived White leather seats with some rhinestones shining She's got a Gotham vibe She's got a minder who is short but frightening She's a screen queen She beamed From a celluloid world From a Chromakey galaxy He's reading Her telepathy She's got his systems overheating... 'I know about a thing called love I know it's what you're thinking of So show you've got a Minuteman I know that you're my Padawan' 2 He's hardly one for fights You'd never call him a Man of Steel He's not so great in tights - His taco habit's an Achilles heel But when their worlds collide, He sees the truth, and the truth is blinding There's something loose inside His alter-ego's done with hiding, and He's a ray gun On stun See him pushing past the Wookiee From Copenhagen Now he's closing Locked on But her gorilla is a killer Gonna terminate his fun... 'I know about a thing called love I know it's what you're thinking of So show you've got the iron, man I know that you're no Padawan' He's bending time to get near To cross that final frontier Security freaks Now they're out their seats As he quantum leaps She breathes a word in his ear 'I know about a thing called love I know it's what you're thinking of So show you've got a Minuteman I know that you're my Padawan' ©2012 The Tracy Boys, Puppet State Media All Rights Reserved
