lyrics

Clive, the Revelation Man

Clive, he’s at it again, he’s got plenty to say, and he’s writing it down,
Clive, he stands in the tube, shouts out everything rude, thinks that he runs the town,

The world is ending now, The world is ending now,
You listen to me now, The world is ending now

[over the big trumpets]
oh, and he does what he can,
oh, cause he’s a revelation man

Clive, he protests alone, he’s cold to the bone, but he’s quick on his feet,
Clive, he’ll stop for some tea, he’ll sit there til 3, then he’s back on the beat

The world is ending now, The world is ending now,
You listen to me now, The world is ending now
hear what I have to say, the end is on its way,
you know what’s really meant, lets blow up parliament

[over the big trumpets]
oh, and he does what he can,
oh, cause he’s a revelation man.

Well Clive has always has the grandest of the plans,
Whenever Britain's darkened, then he takes it in his hands,
And all the signs and placards, they always read the same,
While he’s sitting in the caf, trying to figure out who’s to blame

The world is ending now, The world is ending now,
You listen to me now, The world is ending now

Clive, he always in black, he lives in the back, a one-bedroom in Slough
Clive, he once met a girl, she showed him the world, but he’s no time for that now

Cause world is ending now, The world is ending now,
You listen to me now, The world is ending now

about

The Hoovers Petaluma, California

Bill and Paul met at 17 years of age when Bill answered an ad in Melody Maker for a lead guitarist. It was love at first sight and now after too many years to mention they find themselves thousands of miles from their homeland, still writing and performing songs with the same enthusiasm and energy as ever. Unique observers of everyday life and emotions with an irreverent nod to authority. ... more
