Lyrics


1. THE STAIRCASE (MYSTERY)

Staircase lying face up
Stare cat sat on the mat
Looking down, looking down

Slide down the banister
Take the escalator
Slide down the banister
Or try the elevator

I was standing on the landing
Now I'm standing in the hall
Looking up, up, up, up

Won't someone assist me
Solve this mystery
Somebody assist me
Arrange the symmetry

Muffled footsteps on the carpet
Spiral steps start spinning
Around me

Which floor, which ceiling
You're off balance
Which floor, which ceiling
It's all upside down

Staircase lying face up
Stare cat sat on the mat
Looking down, looking down, down


2. 20TH CENTURY BOY

Friends say he's fine
Friends say he's good
Everybody says he's just like Robin Hood

I move like a cat
Talk like a rat
Sting like a bee
Babe, I wanna be your man

Well it's plain to see you were meant for me
I'm your toy
Your 20th century boy
20th century toy
I wanna be your boy
20th century toy
I wanna be your boy

Friends say he's fine
Friends say he's good
Everybody says he's just like Robin Hood

Fly like a plane
Drive like a car
Hold out your hand
Babe, I wanna be your man

Well it's plain to see you were meant for me
I'm your toy
Your 20th century boy
20th century toy
I wanna be your boy
20th century toy
I wanna be your boy
