Now I lay me down to sleep
Knowing that your lenses peep
Now I eat my daily bread
And into the tape spool I'll be fed

— Andy Partridge Drums and Wires (1979)

More quotes by Andy Partridge

People will always be tempted
to wipe their feet
on anything with 'welcome'
written on it.

English Settlement (1982)

Now that I'm out and I'm shouting in doorways
Freed from a love more like murder
I should be singing but in liberation
Feel like a ship with no rudder.

Mummer (1983)

For a heart without love is a song with no words
And a tune to which no one is listening
So your heart must give love and you'll find that
You shine like rain on the leaves you'll be glistening.

Mummer (1983)

If you let 'em push you in the
Playground, every day ground
There's no escaping,
Escaping from their big square world
You may leave school but it never leaves you

Wasp Star (Apple Venus Volume 2) (2000)

Brain gets bent, heart gets broken
You can't jump off once the pages turn
School is out but never over
That's the only lesson you can learn

Wasp Star (Apple Venus Volume 2) (2000)
