Lyrics

Absolutely Awesome Afternoon

Verse 1
It's half past two on a glorious day;
I feel like leading someone astray.
I've had a drink, or four, or five;
I'm celebrating being alive.

Verse 2
The type of day when dreams are made,
And the schemes of mice and men are laid.
I need a project, a plan, a purpose.
I'm thinking 'protest march' meets 'travelling circus'.

Chorus 1
One should never fail to notice all the nuances of nature,
Or overlook occasions opportune,
To acknowledge and appreciate an atom of adventure
On an absolutely awesome afternoon.
At the risk of riding roughshod over rules and regulations,
I am manning my own mission to the moon.
I seldom saw a circumstance as sure of salutation,
As this absolutely awesome afternoon.

Verse 3
My blueprint scribbled on a napkin,
I assemble my squad and appoint myself captain.
As thick as thieves we treason and plot;
Excepting gunpowder we've got the lot.

Verse 4
If everything goes according to plan,
We'll raise up the people and take down The Man.
You'll paint your wagon and I'll release the hounds.
I'm hazy about the bit with the tigers and clowns.

Chorus
One should never fail to notice all the nuances of nature,
Or overlook occasions opportune,
To acknowledge and appreciate an atom of adventure
On an absolutely awesome afternoon.
At the risk of riding roughshod over rules and regulations,
I am manning my own mission to the moon.
I seldom saw a circumstance as sure of salutation,
As this absolutely awesome afternoon.

Mid 8
I could be in an 80s kids' cartoon, battling the evil oil tycoon, travelling in my bullet-proof balloon - it's all possible on this awesome afternoon.

Last Chorus (diff lyrics)
So unless I learn to live by all their laws and legislation,
I can safely say my summer will end soon.
To invert an ideology I indulged imagination
On an absolutely awesome afternoon.
Carefully considering the chaos I've created,
I believe I've been a beautiful buffoon.
And after all the aggro and the anger had abated,

'Twas an absolutely awesome afternoon.
