Lyrics from Men From When's
About Time
(Side 2)
Queen of The Sun
I see you dressed in your regal gown, adoring subjects all around
Your lovely handmaids by your side, you climb the throne in the gleaming bright
You're my little omnipotent one, you're a little vainglorious, hon
Your Queen of the Sun
I see you with the knight so brave, and to your right, a gentle knave
The daylight streaming from your eyes, the flames are flying through the sky
You're my little omnipotent one, you're a bit of vainglorious fun
Your Queen of the Sun
Queen of the Sun (8X)
As you rise to take your throne, the crown of fire in the stone
Reflects my cap of jester's green, you turn to me a face serene
You're my little omnipotent one, you're a little vainglorious, hon
Your Queen of the Sun
Queen of the Sun (16x)
You're sundial shade betrays the time
Under your eyes a little line
The angle on your golden hair
The solar markings are all there
Let them eat cake, your Queen of the Sun

Silvertone Transistor Radio
It's the summer of '65 and I've got somewhere to go
Walking past the burning bush with my music box in tow
Got my Silvertone transistor radio, everything's in there I used to know
The girls are singing in the street "Stop In The Name of Love"
The boys are playing two hand touch, the sky is blue above
In my Silvertone transistor radio, everything's in there I used to know
Somewhere it's a 5 o'clock world, I know a place where Plymouth Valiants unfurl
My brother's entertaining friends, my dad is laughing long
I have to turn the volume up so I can hear my song
It had a silver speaker, silver dial with knobs of gold
It still sits inside a drawer tucked away from days of old
The boys are playing two hand touch, the sky is blue above
The girls are singing in the street "Stop In the Name of Love"
Somewhere it's a 5 o'clock world, I know a place where Plymouth Valiants unfurl 2x
Somewhere/I know/Ford Falcons unfurl
The turmoil days of happiness
The turquoise days of innocence
Somewhere

Downtown
Why do you always have to go downtown?
What is it that's got a hold on you?
Why are you always busy running around?
How come you never get where you're going to?
I hear you know some people like to stay out all night long
Fill their ears with music played too loud to hear the song
Like to wallow in the decadence, and crawl across the street
Stay so slim and beautiful don't need to sleep or eat
Why do you always have to go downtown?.....
I hear you know some people, they got holes in their holes
So nothing matters anymore, they're numb from nose to toes
From fingertip to forehead there's no feeling there
Pretend it's all excitement, pretend that water's air
Why do you always have to go downtown?....
I hear you know some people deep behind your sunken eyes
Kindess is all out of place inside your house of lies
No good deed goes unpunished, no hurtful act unsung
From the comfort of your darkness you can't abide the sun
Why do you always have to go downtown?...
Why do you always have to go downtown?

The Sweet Marie
T'was a sunny day
Far far away
We went up feeling free
Saw her in the clear
In the wind swept hills
The Sweet Marie
It was a wondrous crystal morning
That should have lasted a lifetime
Through the sparkling sun
Laughing on the run
We went up to the sky
The day became the night
No fear no fright
We could never cry
It was a wondrous crystal morning
That should have lasted a lifetime
Somewhere near the clouds
She finally ran aground
And hit a rainbow iceberg
She sank in the air
Pot of gold flung everywhere
But it was a wondrous crystal morning
That should have lasted a lifetime
Now if you're young
And you look up in the sun
To where your eyes should never be
You might see a light from a distant height
The Sweet Marie
Yes up in the sky are those things that cannot die
And those things that cannot be
Up in the air beyond our hopes and our fears
Flies the Sweet Marie
The Sweet Marie
