 And there's a bunch of lyrics that I can't quite make out....
And  all the world  is football shaped
It's  just for me  to kick its face
And  I can see,  hear, smell, touch, taste
And  I've got one, two, three, four, five
 Senses working o  - ver  - time
Trying  to take  this all  in, I've got one, two, three, four, five
 Senses working o  - ver  - time
Trying  to taste the difference  between a lemon  and a lime
Pain  and pleasure  and the truth  will softly chime
 Chords:
 hey, hey the clouds are whey
 there's straw for the tinkers and
 the innocents can all sleep safely
 all sleep safely
 my, my,sun is pie
 there's fodder for the cannons and
 the guilty one's can all sleep safely
 all sleep safely
 and all the world is football-shaped
 it's just for me to kick in space
 and I can see, hear, smell, touch, taste
 and I've got one, two, three, four, five
 senses working overtime
 trying to take this all in
 I've got one, two, three, four, five
 senses working overtime
 trying to taste the difference
 between a lemon and a lime
 pain and the pleasure and
 the church bells softly chime
 hey, hey, night fights day
 there's food for the tinkers and
 the innocents can all live slowly
 all live slowly
 my, my, the sky will cry
 jewels for the thirsty and
 the guilty one's can all die slowly
 all die slowly
 and all the world is biscuit-shaped
 it's just for me to feed my face
 and I can see, hear, smell, touch, taste
 and I've got one, two, three, four, five
 senses working overtime
 and birds might fall from black skies
 and bullies might give you black eyes
 but to me they're very very beautiful (englands glory)
 beautiful (  striking beauty)
 and all the world is football shaped
 it's just for me to kick in space
 and I can see, hear, smell, touch, taste
 and I've got one, two, three, four, five
 senses working overtime
 trying to take all this in
 I've got one, two, three, four five
 senses working overtime
 try to tell the difference
 between the goods and crimes
 dirt and treasure and there's
 one, two, three, four, five
 senses working overtime.......
