What Charlie Said

Be as honest as you can be

Question orders, accept ideas

Make a meal of what you're eating

Don't be scared of social fears

Oh that's what Charlie said

Pass the plate before it gets heavy

Have what's given, give what's gained

Spot the gaps but know connections

See how freedoms are retained

And that's what Charlie said

Play with work and work with play

Make it all come back some day

Be more entrance than departure

Know somehow something you're after

Oh that's what Charlie said

Under the influence

It turns the senses to directions

Never known before

It sets us up and keeps the score

Provides a point to reach then we've got there

And start again

Provides a point to reach then we've got there

And start again

I don't agree with it

I think it's really good

Here's something else to fit

And now it's understood

My head's struck in advice

Under the influence

I had to ask him twice

And then it all made sense

Come here and pull up an edge

And tell me your name

I'm no longer sure I've met you before

And I'd like to meet you again

Under the influence, under the influence

Under the influence, under the influence

Under the influence, under the influence
