1984 B-sides & Extras Lyrics

Happy the Man — B-side to The Caterpillar UK 7”/12” singles

I’ll never understand
(Come closer and I’ll whisper)
Who was that standing in the rain?
If only I could remember
What he said…
(And how it all began)

Happy the man
With the face that smiles!

But it has to have a name
(Something strong
Something faithful
Something pure…)
How does he look so safe?

He’ll never
Never turn away
Happy the man…

Throw Your Foot — B-side to The Caterpillar UK 12” single

It’s funny how your face gets bigger
Gets bigger in this atmosphere
And your mouth goes dry
With every move you try
It’s so funny here!

Jumping around
Click click click
When you’re so slow
It’s like the world is stopping

Fifteen times I try this
And every time I faint
You look at me and
Start to tell the joke
About the man who couldn’t stop
Hiccuping…

It would be so perfect
If you would just fall out the window!
Throw your foot away!
You’re tired and your face is grey
Like the sad old fool
You groove…
Hey hey hey!!!
