Alan’s Psychedelic Breakfast Lyrics
[Spoken Intro]
Oh, uh, me flakes, then uh, scrambled eggs, bacon, sausages, tomatoes... toast, coffee... marmalade, I like marmalade. Yes, porridge is nice. Any cereal, I like all cereals... oh God. Kickoff is 10am
[Part I: Rise And Shine (1:00 - 3:34)]
[Spoken Break]
Breakfast in Los Angeles, macrobiotic stuff
[Part II: Sunny Side Up (4:29 - 7:44)]
[Spoken Bridge]
I don't mind a barrow, I like barrowing the stuff in
I've got a terrible back. When I work, it hurts me
D'you know what I mean, John?
Well he's sort of, err… when driving on the road he has a sleep, gets ready for the gig
I don't know
He does all the electrical stuff. I can't be bothered with that, it's so fiddly
[Part III: Morning Glory (8:17 - 13:00)]
[Spoken Outro]
All my head's a blank
Oh, uh, me flakes, then uh, scrambled eggs, bacon, sausages, tomatoes... toast, coffee... marmalade, I like marmalade. Yes, porridge is nice. Any cereal, I like all cereals... oh God. Kickoff is 10am
[Part I: Rise And Shine (1:00 - 3:34)]
[Spoken Break]

[Part II: Sunny Side Up (4:29 - 7:44)]
[Spoken Bridge]
I don't mind a barrow, I like barrowing the stuff in
