Don`t look to the left, don`t look to the right
just follow that strait old line...
This could be heaven, or this could be hell
Life could be falling down a bottomless well
I stumble to the left, I stumble to the right
I fumble for the switch, of a disconnected light
Stay with it, don`t let temptation be your load
Stay with it, but there are bandits on the road
[chorus:]
Don`t look to the left, don`t look to the right
Just follow that strait old line
Don`t look to the left, don`t look to the right
Just follow that strait old line
The road of ambition, it`s a casualty trail
Press gangs wait to ambush
The weak and weary
(stay with it)
I had to explore the light and dark
to see the sharp and flat
There`s a hundred or more good reasons
not to ever turn your back
[chorus]
[Neil:] Take it Eddie!
[chorus]
don`t move!
[`The women that loves you` spoon solo from Noel - the most
beautiful piece of music in the world!]
[Noel:] Don`t look to the left, don`t look to the right
just follow that strait old line.... wait for it!
[Tim:] That Crombie Man - this is for the children`s children
not something that we did necessarily well just, this evening
but, well I, I was moved, I`m always moved by the sound of those
spoons, they`re sort of, smooth, sort of
[Noel:] Best silverware for the night Tim, you would have note,
noted the quality ring. I`m sure the audience did.
(pick up on that???)
Stainless steel, it`s ok but... sort of where it`s at
[Tim:] He`s talking! Ladies & Gentleman, I I don`t know if you
appreciate what we just experienced, but oh my
[Noel:] I think it`s your turn for a little
[Tim:] I don`t know if you realise what just happened
[Noel:] Well Tim, I think it`s your turn for a little story now
[Tim:] Well that Crombie man, he`s just..
[?:] well anything could happen
[Noel:] You`re getting, you`re jumping in on top of me, no look
it`s just not good enough
[Tim:] Excuse me, uh Noel....
[Noel:] They wouldn`t like to hear it
[something about `a break`]
[Tim:] Sometimes you just have to wail and shout
[snippet of `Wail`
(E Rayner)]
[Tim:] Here we go!
Thank you Neil, I do need calming down, I got a bit excited then
[Neil:] I think we left the stratosphere then
