I saw him coming through the town Riding on a donkey The wild cheering children throwing Flowers for this flunkies The men were crying 'HALLELUJAH' Fair women crying softly Fair women crying softly The granary was overflowing With manna for the hungry A phantom stole my amplifier And fed it to the lonely The men were crying 'HALLELUJAH' United states of mind And a pint of brown And my head is floating away David drove me to the Rex Hotel Many shores ago When I was back in Whitley Bay And all our friends are being tortured By blind maggots from The News Of The World Shala shalo o bide o rarona Shala shalo o bide o rarona Da da da da da Werewolves at the traffic lights A vampire in the foundry A run a run a running down The wires like The centre to the boundary The men were crying 'HALLELUJAH' This place is stranger than Carlisle There is a French girl And nun upon the beach A. J. Cronin's round the corner And Oh I'm sorry I know my head and heart Are out of reach Raerona to corona then back To my quiet lonely bed To my quiet lonely bed Werewolves at the twilight junction Gazing in the window Would like to see your body burning Till early morning gun glow The men were crying 'HALLELUJAH'
