[Verse 1]
Picking up scales and broken chords
Puppy dog tails in the house of lords
Tell me darling, what can it mean?

[Verse 2]
Making up moons in a minor key
What have those tunes got to do with me?
Tell me darling, where have you been?

[Chorus]
Once upon along ago
Children searched for treasure
Nature's plan went hand in hand with pleasure
My pleasure

[Verse 3]
Blowing balloons on a windy day
Desolate dunes with a lot to say
Tell me darling, what have you seen?

[Chorus]
Once upon along ago
Children searched for treasure
Nature's plan went hand in hand with pleasure
Such pleasure
[Verse 4]
Playing guitars on an empty stage
Counting the bars of an iron cage
Tell me darling, what can it mean?

[Verse 1]
Picking up scales and broken chords
Puppy dog tails in the house of lords
Tell me darling, what does it mean?

[Chorus]
Once upon along ago
Children searched for treasure
Nature's plan went hand in hand with pleasure
Such pleasure

[Verse 4]
Playing guitars on an empty stage
Counting the bars of an iron cage
Tell me darling, what can it all mean?

[Verse 1]
Picking up scales and broken chords
Puppy dog tails in the house of lords
Tell me darling, oh, what can it mean?
[Chorus]
Once upon along ago
Children searched for treasure
Nature's plan went hand in hand with pleasure
Such pleasure
