“Sunset Strip”    (Waters)

I like staying with my Uncle Dave,
And I like playing with his Great Dane,
But I don't fit,
I feel alien and strange - kinda outa range.

I like riding in my Uncle's car,
Down to the beach where the pretty girls all parade.
And movie stars and paparazzi play,
The Charles Atlas kicking sand in the face game.

And I sit in the canyon with my back to the sea,
There's a blood red dragon on a field of green,
Calling me back………
Back to the Black Hills again.

Ooh, ooh, Billy come home.

Billy is searching for his native land,
Flicking through the stations with the dial in his head.
Picking up (feed back effect) and.
A male voice choir on the short wave band.
Billy taps out Jim's number on the 'phone,
Sits shaking as he waits for Jim's answering tone.
Come on my friend, speak to me please,
The land of my father’s is calling to me,
And I sit in the canyon with my back to the sea,
There's a blood red dragon on a field of green,
Calling me back, back to the Black Hills again.

Ooh, ooh, Billy come home
Come on home.
He sits in the canyon with his back to the sea,
Sees a blood red dragon on a field of green,
He hears a male voice choir singing Billy come home.
Billy, Billy, come home
Come on home.

(Californian Weirdo): "I don't like fish".

(Jim): "You are listening to KAOS here in Los Angeles".

(Californian Weirdo): "I don't like fish".

(Jim): "Yes, we've established that. Ah! Do you have a request?"

(Californian Weirdo): "Shell fish, guppy, salmon, shrimp and crab and lobster, flounder. I hate fish, but I think most of all I hate fresh fish, like trout. I hate fresh trout. My least-hated, favourite fish would be sole. That way you don't have to see the eyes. Sole has no eyes".

(Jim): "Oh no!"

(Californian Weirdo): "I'd like to be home with my monkey and my dog".

(Jim): "Thank you".

(Californian Weirdo): "I'd like to be home with my monkey and my dog I'd like to be home with my monkey and my dog I'd like to be home with my monkey ..."

(Jim): "They don't care. Shut up. Play the record".
