In Like Flynn

(album: Fishing For Luckies - 1994)

Ah yes, it's just like the time
Back in '89
They said "you'll be fine"

God bless The Wildhearts!

In like Flynn, in out in, in like Flynn
In like Flynn, in out in

In like Flynn, in out in

Now you pick out the fence from your arse
And you dream of pop stars
In our souls we trusted...

In like Flynn, in out in, in like Flynn
In like Flynn, in out in
In like Flynn, in out in, in like Flynn
In like Flynn, in out in
In like Flynn, in out in, in like Flynn
In like Flynn, in out in
In like Flynn, in out in, in like Flynn
In like Flynn, in out in
In like Flynn

But guess what? Once upon a time there was a bitter man named Sweet. Perhaps the greatest philologist and phonetician: the greatest language expert in the world… For weeks thereafter, Georgie walked about in an idolatrous daze, the brilliant but sour Mr. Sweet died of pernicious anaemia, the misanthropic scholar had to enjoy his new-found admiration, from his grave"
