Tin Foil Shoes | Track 13-15 | 1976

(horn blasts) [Verse 1 — Colin] Tin foil shoes on a rainy street Left foot talking with the right-hand beat Dog in a necktie riding the bus Nobody staring but all of us Mailbox ringing like a tambourine Lady in green in a submarine Taxi driver chewing lemon glue Laughing loud at the evening news [Horn Break] (BWAAH! BWAAH!) [Hook — Group Vocals] Tin foil shoes! Don’t blow a fuse! Tin foil shoes! Everybody move! Tin foil shoes! Shake the floor! Tin foil shoes! Give us more! [Verse 2 — Ben half-spoken] Telephone soup in a paper cup Somebody said “turn the ceiling up” Man on the corner selling square balloons Kids all dancing with kitchen brooms Parking meter started keeping time Old man singing in a straight-line rhyme Girl with roller skates painted gold Trading comic books for casserole [Hook — Group + horns louder] Tin foil shoes! Spin around! Tin foil shoes! Off the ground! Tin foil shoes! Bang the drum! Tin foil shoes! Here we come! [Verse 3 — Mick melodic] Bluebird taxi in a traffic jam Mayor wearing strawberry jam Radio humming a marching tune Somebody howling at the moon Window washer with a pirate hat Playing chess with a laundromat Marching band in a swimming pool Everybody acting beautiful [Breakdown — weird section] [spoken — Ben] Left! Right! Left! Right! Don’t step on the satellite! [spoken — Colin] Watch the toaster! Watch the sky! [Mick high harmony] Everything is passing byyyy— (horns explode) [Instrumental Chaos Section] (horn riffs + whistles + piano hits) [Verse 4 — fast trade-off vocals] Coffee cup full of rubber bands Chicken wire marching with the band Sidewalk preacher on roller blades Throwing glitter in the lemonade Fire escape full of tambourines Everybody talking through magazines Man in a cape with electric socks Dancing circles around the clocks [Final Hook — FULL CHAOS] Tin foil shoes! Shake the room! Tin foil shoes! Boom boom boom! Tin foil shoes! Jump the line! Tin foil shoes! Feel alright! Tin foil shoes! Don’t sit down! Tin foil shoes! Paint the town!
