Sally
Anthony Phillips

29 in Highgate, P.R. queen

So socially unattainable

Down the line in Balham Johnny's keen

Pursuing the unobtainable

I said 'Hey, you, up in the clouds

She's spinning you like a circus wheel.'

By moonlight, scheming all his moves

Detectives at her heels


Sally, what's your game?

What are you trying to do?

Sally, I'm miles away

I can't take my eyes off you


Tea with the Princes, dinner with the stars

She's cool amongst High Society

Johnny takes her to a wimpey bar

And acts with perfect sobriety

I said 'Hey, you, up in the clouds

She's spinning you like a circus wheel.'

Call the airforce, call the C.I.A.

She won't escape this time


Taking off for ten weeks on the Nile

The nights will be rich with mystery

Johnny's swimming with the crocodiles

But he's gonna teach her some history

I said 'Hey, you, up in the clouds

She's spinning you like a circus wheel.'

He's in the gym, he's on the driving range

She won't escape this time
