The Day the World Turned Day-Glo Lyrics by X-Ray Spex

Germ Free Adolescents

1978

[Verse 1]
I clambered over mounds and mounds
Of polystyrene foam
And fell into a swimming pool
Filled with fairy snow
[Chorus]
And watched the world turn day-glo
You know you know
The world turned day-glo
You know
Oh-oh
[Verse 2]
I wrenched the nylon curtains back
As far as they would go
And peered through Perspex window panes
At the acrylic road
[Chorus]
And watched the world turn day-glo
You know you know
The world turned day-glo
You know
Oh-oh
[Verse 3]
I drove my polypropolene
Car on wheels of sponge
Then pulled into a Wimpy bar
To have a rubber bun
[Chorus]
And watched the world turn day-glo
You know you know
The world turned day-glo
You know
Oh-oh
[Sax Solo]
[Chorus]
The world turned day-glo
You know you know
The world turned day-glo
You know
Oh-oh
[Verse 4]
The X-rays were penetrating
Through the latex breeze
Synthetic fibre see-thru leaves
Fell from the rayon trees
[Chorus]
The day the world turned day-glo
You know you know
The world turned day-glo
You know you know
The world turned day-glo
You know you know
The world turned day-glo
You know
Oh-oh
