The Rubettes - The Family Affair lyrics

There's a starry oasis, in the middle of the sand Where the old cantina lights are shinning brightly There's a starry old nomad from the city by the lake Sits enthroned in the splendour of the king And the stars shine so bright and they just come out at night And they sparkle in the nomad's kingly hair They'll be frank as the dean who each evening makes the scene In his ultra cosy family affair To his sons, God the father is the daddy of them all To his subject's he's the lord of iron and fire To the tired weary traveller he's the bringer of the light He's their paid benefactor and supplier And the stars shine anew and they shine for me and you And he smiles upon the silver we will share He brings youth to the old and the promises of gold In his ultra cosy family affair Oh, see the light in his eyes See the gun in his hand It's for you Oh, see the whites of their eyes See the boys in the band And the cases they hold make them bold Cause they're calling the tune And the stars shine anew and they shine for me and you And he smiles upon the silver we will share And his smile really mean, is the silver really green In his ultra cosy family affair.
