She said "Meet me in the secret garden, Below the observatory I'll be waiting on that wooden bench Beneath the spreading chestnut tree." I swear I was truly on my way Walking up past the nurses home Heading for the gates to Greenwich park I really wanted to rendezvous with her Ah but you know how it goes When you’re headed for the secret garden That's right, you know how it goes I got waylaid by a powder monkey As I passed Oscar Wilde's old den And five hours later, as the sun went down I crawled from that basement, rainbows in my eyes That powder monkey spiked me with angel dust My brain was mimsy, hardly knew who I was I needed something to drink, just to liven me up I stumbled into the saloon bar of the Rose and Crown I ordered a tequila sunrise from a crazy kiwi girl Watched as the terrapins practiced cannibalism The Red Lights played a Space Invaders marathon And I tried hard to pull my mind back together Ah but you know how it goes When you’re headed for the secret garden That's right, you know how it goes At eleven thirty Vic chucked me out the pub I stumbled past that old Spreadeagle shop In my head I heard a loud south London song I looked at the park gates and all of them were locked Ah but you know how it goes When you’re headed for the secret garden That's right, you know how it goes I never saw her ever again I have no idea what happened I sometimes sit on that old wooden seat Beneath the spreading chestnut tree I wonder how it might have been If I’d kept that secret garden date Ah but you know how it goes When you’re headed for the secret garden That's right, you know how it goes No matter how hard you try You will never make it That’s how it goes, That's right, you know how it goes

Look for the hidden path Search out the hidden path Run down the hidden path True love the hidden path Love is something we all can find Love is something for all mankind Love is something, feels much better Love is somewhere in a letter Love is something when it is found Love is something which will turn around Love is something to make us laugh Love is somewhere down a hidden path Look for the hidden path Search out the hidden path Run down the hidden path True love the hidden path Love is something we cannot hide Love is something a blushing bride Love is something within our head Love is somewhere inside our bed Love is something we want so much Love is something, a gentle touch Love is something with which to heal Love is somewhere we can reveal Look for the hidden path Search out the hidden path Run down the hidden path True love the hidden path

On the road to Barlogie Cove With an old friend of mine I drive past that house of yours That overlooks Lough Ine We’re off to empty lobster pots On his old clinker boat I hear a single seagull sing A very plaintive note You’re sitting in the window Of that upstairs room You look with longing at that Hill where bluebells bloom That hill Where bluebells bloom That hill Where bluebells bloom Where you took me in the springtime Through the woodland glade so blue To the summit of your universe And swore that you were true I see that his flash car is back Parked up in the drive The way that I was feeling He’s lucky to be alive I guess that I’ll keep driving Down to Barlogie Quay And let all of last year’s fantasies Fade into memory I hope you’ll not be crying In your lonely room As you look out that window Onto Knockomagh Hill There where bluebells bloom!

You’ve really gone and blown it this time, Now I’m sure that you’re his and not mine, ‘Cos when I took you out the other day, You slipped and called me by his name, And at the time it really hurt, Deep down inside I could feel my heart spurt, I know, now, I don’t need that kind of pain, So here am I, telling you, I’ll always remain Unfaithfully Yours, Unfaithfully Yours, You closed All the doors, Unfaithfully yours Somebody new I’m gonna find, Someone who won’t be so unkind, And even though I’ll still think of you, It’s the only thing that I can do, Yeah, You really gone and blown it this time, Now I’m sure that you’re his and not mine, You slipped and called me by his name, So, Here am I, Telling You, I’ll Always Remain Unfaithfully Yours, Unfaithfully Yours, You closed ALL the doors, Unfaithfully yours

I watch spiders weave webs in the fennel In my garden in the morning, A sudden storm begins, without any warning, The raindrops remind me Of that soggy traffic jam On the road out of Amsterdam When we shared a mellow joint Where I reached the tipping point The Tipping Point of love Point of love, Point of love That’s where I fell over The Tipping Point of Love Point of love, point of love That was when I knew That I would stay with you A Rainy Night by Tony Joe Playing softly on the radio You looking into the night Singing sweet "It's All Right" Passing on another joint That was my tipping point The Tipping Point of love Point of love, Point of Love That’s where I fell over The Tipping Point of Love Point of love, point of love The spiders wait for the sun to shine They can’t wait to spin another line I watch them hide under leaves of green I can see how good things have been Since we reached the tipping point The tipping point of love Point of Love, Point of Love The tipping point, Point of Love The tipping point, Point of Love
