XTC - Omnibus lyrics

Climb up here beside me
We can ride and find a friend unfound
Put your foot upon the laughing gas
And drive your grin around

Omnibus, take all of us
All of us, take Omnibus
Ain't nothing in the world like
A white skinned girl
Make your Union Jack and
Make your flag unfurl

You can't say you've ridden
'Til you've given up your heart and seat
Man that lady clippie rip your ticket
Make your trip complete

Omnibus, take all of us
All of us, take Omnibus
Ain't nothing in the world like
A black skinned girl
Make your Shakespeare hard and
Make your oyster pearl

Don't let horses pass you by
Take a run and leap on
Pull the blinkers from your eyes
Before big bus has gone

We'll be stopping off
In every shop until you find that mate
Don't waste time, go on and taste them all
Why don't you fill your plate?

Omnibus, take all of us
All of us, take Omnibus
There's nothing in the world like
A gold skinned girl
To make your bonsai weep and
Make your bamboo curl

Omnibus, take all of us
All of us, take Omnibus
Omnibus, take all of us
All of us, take Omnibus
Ain't nothing in the world like
A green skinned girl
But that don't mean to say you can't look

Omnibus, Omnibus, Omnibus
Omnibus, Omnibus, Omnibus
