Omnibus

XTC · Coat Of Many Cupboards [2002]

Hey yeah

Hey yeah, yeah



Climb up here beside me

We can ride and find a friend unfound

Put your foot upon the laughing gas

And drive your grin around



Omnibus, take all of us

All of us, take Omnibus

Ain't nothing in the world like a white skinned girl

Make your Union Jack and make your flag unfurl



You can't say you've ridden

'Til you've given up your heart and seat

Man that lady clippie rip your ticket

Make your trip complete



Omnibus, take all of us

All of us, take Omnibus

Ain't nothing in the world like a black skinned girl

Make your Shakespeare hard and make your oyster pearl



Hey yeah, yeah

Don't let horses pass you by

Take a run and leap on

Pull the blinkers from your eyes

Before big bus has gone



We'll be stopping off

In every shop until you find that mate

Don't waste time, go on and taste them all

Why don't you fill your plate?



Omnibus, take all of us

All of us, take Omnibus

There's nothing in the world like a gold skinned girl

To make your bonsai weep and make your bamboo curl



Omnibus, take all of us

All of us, take Omnibus

Omnibus, take all of us

All of us, take Omnibus



Ain't nothing in the world like a green skinned girl

But that don't mean to say you can't look



Omnibus, Omnibus, Omnibus

Omnibus, Omnibus, Omnibus
