Manning - Palace Of Delights lyrics

As a young boy I can still remember clearly seeing the line of gla** jars filled with magnificent sweet things amongst the stack of Airfix models were coloured packets of stamps to transport me away to more exotic climes Wrapping paper packages & cards of many colours Greetings from your nearest dearest kin Rubber bouncing balls & pots of plastic snakes & spiders to frighten baby brothers out their skin Welcome to the Palace of Delights everything you wanted & more. Welcome to the Palace of Delights the real World is stopped by the door Scouring pads & Ajax powder Kitchen knives & forks Paper plates, balloons & silver clowns Sellotape, elastic bands, pencils with a bright red stripe the most magical place in town Welcome to the Palace of Delights everything you wanted & more. Welcome to the Palace of Delights the real World is stopped by the door Cowboy hats & holstered six guns, Man from U.N.C.L.E. bubble cards As Collectors we all had the set A paperback on training budgies complete with offered bell & mirror Hung by 'wanted' postcards & fishing nets Welcome to the Palace of Delights everything you wanted & more. Welcome to the Palace of Delights the real World is stopped by the door
