  1. The 3 first singles (1967)

    Last night I had too much to drink
    Sitting in a club with so many fools
    Playing to rules
    Trying to impress but feeling rather empty
    I had another drink Drink - a - drink - a - drink - a - drink
    What a way to spend that evening
    They all turn up with their friends
    Playing the game
    But in the scene I should have been Far far
    Away - away - away - away - away
    Getting up, I feel as if I'm remembering this scene before
    I open the door to an empty room
    Then I forget
    The telephone rings and someone speaks
    She would very much like to go out to a show
    So what can I do - I can't think what to say
    She sees through anyway Away - away - away - away - away
    Out of the front door I go
    Traffic's moving rather slow
    Arriving late, there she waits
    Looking very angry, as cross as she can be
    Be - a - be - a - be - a - be - a - be
    Getting up, I feel as if I'm remembering this scene before
    I open the door to an empty room
    Then I forget


  2. Relics (1971)

    Last night I had too much to drink
    Sitting in a club with so many fools
    Playing to rules
    Trying to impress but feeling rather empty
    I had another drink
    Drink - a - drink - a - drink - a - drink

    What a way to spend that evening
    They all turn up with their friends
    Playing the game
    But in the scene I should have been
    Far away
    Away - away - away - away - away
    Getting up, I feel as if I'm remembering this scene before
    I open the door to an empty room
    Then I forget

    The telephone rings and someone speaks
    She would very much like to go out to a show
    So what can I do - I can't think what to say
    She sees through anyway
    Away - away - away - away - away
