I’m in love with the Mona Lisa
Through plate glass they let me see her
Winning smile millions feed her
I’m in love with the Mona Lisa
Take your plastic money your color T.V.
Sell it with your house if you want to go see
A Leonardo Da Vinci
Well that’s good enough for me
Sold my house sold my car
I even sold my Martin guitar
Sold my house sold my car
I even sold my Stratocaster
I was going to get to see a Leonardo Da Vinci
It’s good enough for me if it’s good enough for you
Cruising high in a 747
Cruising high feeling like I’m in 7th Heaven
Air Hostess pours a G & T I’m feeling right friendly
But you’re not (the) Madonna
Got to Paris took a taxi to the Louvre
Feeling jet lag (but just like Madonna I’m in the groove)
And there’s Japanese Cantonese Lebanese
Vietnamese Taiwanese Siagonese Ceylonese
Turning into Sri Lankese Kiwis & god damn Yankees
They’re not singing my song they’re singing Paul Simon . . . They’re singing
I got a Nikon camera
Gotta take a photograph
Momma don’t take my Kodachrome away . . . cause
When I got to see that picture
cut those social financial strictures
When I got to see her
She was just a . . . Like that national TV Commercial
With a crack in the plate glass
But she’s got no arse . . .
. . . I’m in love with the Mona Lisa
I’m in love with a Leo Nardo Da’Vinci
I’m in love with a British Airways Hostess
Who’s nice to me
I’m in love with Madonna
In the groove
Jet lagged dirty yeah
See you later

There is a time
For everything
There is provision
For everyone
There is a sun
There is a moon
For every race
There is room
Make room
There is a nation on the verge of war
So many million
Could die now
They can sing songs
Instead of make bombs
White man there
Can not go on
Unless he makes room
USA USSR
Lone gone days
of the tyrannous czar
Send all your acorns
Send all your flowers
To quell the thirst of the major powers
Make room
There is a time
For every thing
There is provision
For Every whim
There is a sun
There is moon
Every race
There is room
Make room

Low flying
Low flying
and all the crew and
all the passengers
kind of lost their lives
0049
Greenwich meantime
Two degrees is not far wrong now
two degrees out and she'll be right
two degrees out is not far wrong now
two degrees out and the country's sinking
so they had an investigation
orchestrated a "litany of lies"
and they blamed it on the captain
with the perfect record, why?
when we know he didn't change the flight path
he wasn't told of the deviation
programmed into the computer
they didn't pass on the information
two degrees out is not far wrong now
two degrees out and she'll be right
two degrees out
is not far wrong now
two degrees out
give or take away
all their lives
big mountain
in the flight path
only high ground
continent of ice
if it was just one in a million
why did they have to cover up with lies
and on the day that they buried the captain
that they blamed fro the polar crash
somebody broke into his office
maybe stole a few vital facts
two degrees out is not far wrong now
two degrees out and she'll be right
two degrees out if not far wrong now
two degrees out
two degrees out
there's corruption in high places
government airlines
system abuse
who will guard the guardians
when they own the legal process too
two degrees out is not far wrong now
two degrees out and the country's changed
two degrees out what a huge disaster
two degrees out
who's naming names

I love that the guys' harmonies have more focus in this album; it's a very different balance than Expert In A Dying Field, but I like it!
