I can see very well
There s a boat on the reef with a broken back
And I can see it very well
There s a joke and I know it very well
It s one of those that I told you long ago
Take my word I m a madman don t you know

Once a fool had a good part in the play
If it s so would I still be here today
It s quite peculiar in a funny sort of way
They think it s very funny everything I say
Get a load of him, he s so insane
You better get your coat dear
It looks like rain

We ll come again next Thursday afternoon
The In-laws hope they ll see you very soon
But is it in your conscience that you re after
Another glimpse of the madman across the water

I can see very well
There s a boat on the reef with a broken back
And I can see it very well
There s a joke and I know it very well
It s one of those that I told you long ago
Take my word I m a madman don t you know

The ground s a long way down but I need more
Is the nightmare black
or are the windows painted
Will they come again next week
Can my mind really take it
