Editor's note: This line is actually disputed. Christopher actually sounds like he's clearly saying "All of his life, his master's toys", but most lyrics sites have the line listed as "...he's mastered choice". Until I see the liner notes of the album, I'm leaving this one as it is.

If the wind is right you can sail away, find virility
...
It's not far to never-never land - reason to pretend
And if the wind is right you can find the door of innocence again
...
Sailing takes me away to where I'm going, doo dit
Just a dream, the wind to carry me
...
Well it's not half bad for sanctuary, at least it's not for me
And if the wind is right you can sail away and find tranquility
...
It's not far to never-never land, no reason to pretend
And if the wind is right you can find the joy of innocence again
...
Sailing takes me away to where I've always heard it could be
Just a dream and the wind to carry me

If the wind is right you can sail away
And find some wells of tea
Oh, the candles can do miracles

Save your love for someday, girl,
Someday'll come soon
You may not want to publish this, it's ok if you don't, but I was interested to know if anyone else misheard this one in the same way, or am I just haunted by the ghost of some fat racist comedian from the 1970s.

Think of Laura, but laugh, don't cry
Afraid of a friend
A friend of a friend
I know she wanted that way
I know she'd want it that way
That's the kind of curl she wants
That's the kind of girl she wants
Tinker Bell
Think of Laura
When you think of Laurel
When you think of Laura
When you think of woman
or
When you think of robots
When you think of Laura
Without a mourning
Without a warning
