about

We played this in front of our school friends back in school. It didn't sound as good as it does now (for real).

lyrics

The drunken dwarf squirts some LSD from his fake flower,
The monkeys are playing little naughty games in the shower,
The manager screams, ‘We’re going on the air!’
(‘Flying through the air!’)
But they don’t seem to care…

The beer is hidden in the magic box,
You won’t get high from sniffing in the showgirl’s last week socks,
The elephants are stamping on the grass,
The juggler’s got the balls to make a pass,

Everybody’s laughing as the tiger’s smoke the hay,
Nothing really matters to the girls who fly away,
Oooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh woohoo
Oooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh woohoo

The drunken dwarf is sobering up,
The drunken dwarf is sobering down,
The drunken dwarf is sobering sideways,
The drunken dwarf is sobering no ways,
‘No ways…’

about

Headless London, UK

As teenagers, long-time friends David Goo and Aner Rabinovitz got together and wrote a number of madcap songs that bridged the gap between pop, rock, cabaret and psychedelia, before just as quickly parting ways as life took them in different directions.
Now over two decades later the pair have come back together as Headless to give those tunes a chance to shine
