Honeysuckle Highway

Ian Dury And The Blockheads

Exploring every avenue of love

On the Honeysuckle Highway

Eschewing every vestige of regret we gaily slip along

Displaying all the evidence of mirth

On the Daffodyllic Byway

And needing no excuse to have a laugh

Cos we're doing nothing wrong



You want magic?

I'll provide it

You want daydream?

I'm inside it

You want mystery?

It will find you

You've got a moonbeam

Right behind you



Cruising down Carnality Canal

In my canoe can I canoodle?

Rounding every bending that

We're wending in a loopy disarray

Evincing all the properties of rapture

With a sybaritic splendour

And shedding every nagging little footle

That is getting in the way



You want magic?

I can do it

You want lovelight?

Nothing to it

You want everything to be groovy?

You got me now,

Let's get moving



Come with me where the air is free

And spirits can in harmony unite

Swim with me in the Rainbow Sea

We're strangers to catastrophe tonight



Where all the clocks tell different times

And no-one finds the time to be uptight

Where sweet suggestions grow on trees

And love explodes as well indeed it might



Exploring every avenue of love

On the Honeysuckle Highway

And needing no excuse to have a laugh

Cos we're doing nothing wrong



You want magic?

Well, you've got it

You want licence?

I forgot it

You want romance?

Let's get busy

I've got magic

To make you dizzy



Come with me to the special place

The first thing you get on your face, a smile

As secrets flourish in their space

So love will cherish every grace and style



When pressure's on another case

We get along without a trace of bile

Though memories we'll ne'er erase

Our happiness can run apace meanwhile



You wore a bandana,

I wore navy blue

We met in Havana

At quarter past t
