There's an old Australian stockman, er, rock band Trying, but dying They get themselves up onto their collective elbows Revert to their sixties instrumentation And they try again There's a lady who's sure all that glitters is gold And she's buying a stairway to heaven All together now, and she's buying a stairway to heaven When she gets there she knows, if those stores are all closed With a word she can get what she came for All together now, with a word she can get what she came for Ooh and it makes me wonder (How does it affect you blokes?) Ooh and it makes us wonder (That's interesting that, yeah) There's a sign on the wall, but she wants to be sure 'Cos you know words sometimes have two meanings All together now, 'cos you know words sometimes have two meanings (A lot of words have two meanings Um, like in this song the word to buy Buying a stairway to heaven, bought [pause] oh no, that's brought isn't it Well, er, there's lots of words have two meanings) In the tree by the brook, there's a songbird who sings Sometimes all of our thoughts are misgiven All together now, sometimes all of our thoughts are misgiven (Miss Given? Just change instruments now. Thankyou very much. Miss Given ladies and gentlemen. Isn't it nice to have your name mentioned in the song? Isn't that good. Lovely lady) [didgerydoo instrumental] (Quick burst of applause for Ross there, on the free trembler - good one Can I change instruments again? Thank you. [clears throat] Nearly finished [laughs]) There's a lady I'm sure that I've mentioned before (yes I did, yes) And she's buying a stairway to heaven All together now, and she's buying a stairway to heaven Ooh and it makes me wonder Ooh and it makes us wonder Ooh and it makes us wonder It makes us wonder [laughs]
