1. PORTABLE PEOPLE



See them at the airport with their cases in their hand
Got a ten day package in another land
They're the jet age gypsies with a super-sonic sound
They're the portable people, and they take themselves Around

Portable people, flyin' in the air
Portable people, goin' everywhere
Por....ta....ble - Peo....ple!

See them at the window with a panoramic view
It's the only time they've noticed that the sky is colored Blue
One will have a cloak and a pair of wooden clogs
He liked the avocado, but he didn't like the vase

Portable people, flyin' in the air
Portable people, goin' everywhere
Por....ta....ble - Peo....ple!




2. THE SOUNDS


The sounds are in my head, I can't hear what is said
The sounds are all around, from the sky - from the ground
All I want is just to live, I have everything to give
But the sounds are on my mind, and the answer I can't Find

Rhythm of rain, haunts my brain
Mowing of lawns, hooting horns
There's no silence I can find, to give me time to rest my Mind

The sounds are in my head, I can't hear what is said
The sounds are all around, from the sky - from the ground
All I want is just to live, I have everything to give
But the sounds are on my mind, and the answer I can't Find

The sounds, the sounds, the sounds, the sounds!
Baby the sounds, sounds on my mind, oh!
Mowing of lawns, hooting horns!
Telephone bell, the sounds of hell!
Trains and planes, rushin' and pushin'
Hustle and bustle, Sounds! Sounds!
Babe, the sounds, the sounds, the sounds - sounds, Sounds, sounds!
Don't let the sounds in......telephone Ringing.......Stop!
