Song lyrics

I can see very well,
There's a boat on the reef with a broken back
And I can see it very well;
There's a joke and I know it very well,
It's one of those that I told you long ago,
Take my word, I'm a madman, don't you know

Once a fool had a good part in the play,
If it's so, would I still be here today
It's quite peculiar in a funny sort of way,
They think it's very funny everything I say;
Get a load of him, he's so insane,
You better get your coat, dear,
It looks like rain.

We'll come again next Thursday afternoon,
The in-laws hope they'll see you very soon;
But is it in your conscience that you're after
Another glimpse of the Madman across the Water

I can see very well,
There's a boat on the reef with a broken back
And I can see it very well;
There's a joke and I know it very well,
It's one of those that I told you long ago,
Take my word I'm a madman, don't you know

We'll come again next Thursday afternoon,
The in-laws hope they'll see you very soon;
But is it in your conscience that you're after
Another glimpse of the Madman across the Water

The ground's a long way down but I need more,
Is the nightmare black
Or are the windows painted
Will they come again next week -
Can my mind really take it
