0:01Stella Matter light is failing
0:07Making such a fool of thee
0:11When you'd love to be someone
0:17This is the time I've set aside
0:26From selling old rope
0:28And telling bad jokes
0:30And Cul De Sac pride
0:35I've learnt today
0:39While falling apart
0:43The most eloquent way
0:45To speak or to pray
0:48Is straight from the heart
0:52Oh but to shine like Joan of Arc
0:57You must be prepared to burn
1:09Forget the style
1:14And choose from twelve notes
1:18In itself it's a joy
1:20Whether it soothes or annoys
1:23A song starts in the throat
1:27Take two kinds of look
1:31And one wedding day
1:36Now isn't it clear
1:38There's nothing they'll hear
1:40That you'd want to say
1:44And if you've no new clothes to wear
1:49Then simply wash and comb your hair
1:55And little Green Isaac
1:59You're gonna walk backwards
2:01Through the room
2:03Does that mean I won't see you
2:06It means you're walk backwards
2:08Through the room
2:10And little green Isaac
2:14I hear you're still wet
2:16Behind the ears
2:18Isaac's a soft name
2:21It sounds like a pocketful of rain
2:29Well up that stairway he rose
2:32And down that stairway he goes
2:36And little Green Isaac
2:40You're gonna walk backwards
2:41Through the room
2:44Does that mean I won't see you
2:47It means you're walk backwards
2:49Through the room
2:51And little green Isaac
2:55I hear you're still wet
2:56Behind the ears
2:59Isaac's a soft name
3:02It sounds like a pocketful of rain
3:09Well up that stairway he rose
3:12And down that stairway he goes
3:16Green Isaac
3:19Green Isaac
3:22Green Isaac
