Medley: Wild Eyed Boy from Freecloud / All the Young Dudes / Oh! You Pretty Things (Live 1973)

Lyrics

[Part I: Wiled Eyed Boy From Freecloud] [Audience Cheering] [Verse 1] Solemn faced The village settles down Undetected by the stars The hangman plays the mandolin before he goes to sleep And the last thing on his mind Is the Wild Eyed Boy imprisoned Beneath the covered wooden shaft Folds the rope Into its bag Blows his pipe of smolders Blankets smoke into the room And the day will end for some As the night begins for one [Verse 2] Staring through the message in his eyes Lies a solitary son From the mountain called Freecloud Where the eagle dare not fly And the patience in his sigh Gives no indication For the townsmen to decide So the village Dreadful yawns Pronouncing gross diversion As the label for the dog Oh "It's the madness in his eyes" As he breaks the night to cry [Verse 3] It's really me Really you And really me It's so hard for us to really be Really you And really me You'll lose me though I'm always Really free [Part II: All The Young Dudes] [Verse 1] Billy rapped all night about his suicide How he'd kick it in the head when he was 25 Don't want to stay alive when you're 25 [Verse 2] Wendy's stealing clothes from unlocked cars Freddy's got spots from ripping off stars from his face honey A funky little boat race [Pre-Chorus] The television man is crazy Saying we're juvenile delinquent wrecks But, man, I need a TV when I've got T. Rex Hey, brother, you guessed I'm a dude man [Chorus] All the young dudes Carry the news Boogaloo dudes, yeah Carry the news All the young dudes, yeah Carry the news Boogaloo dudes, yeah Carry the news [Part III: Oh! You Pretty Things] [Verse 1] Wake up you sleepy head Put on some clothes, shake up your bed Put another log on the fire for me I've made some breakfast and coffee Look out my window and what do I see A crack in the sky and a hand reaching down to me All the nightmares came today And it looks as though they're here to stay [Chorus] Oh you Pretty Things Don't you know you're driving your Mamas and Papas insane Oh you Pretty Things Don't you know you're driving your Mamas and Papas insane Let me make it plain You gotta make way for the Homo Superior 1, 2... Oh you Pretty Things Don't you know you're driving your Mamas and Papas insane Oh you Pretty Things Don't you know you're driving your Mamas and Papas insane Let me make it plain You gotta make way for the Homo Superior [Audience Applause]
