Songs That Make Sophie Fizz - Martha Tilston

we were the wild wild child of the street

we rollarskated everywhere

Jason and the Argonauts, with festival hair

we were taught to catch our dreams if you can

and put the babies wellies on and help them in the back of the van

oh and I remember

Sophie dancing round the room

singing 'here it comes,

here it comes,

this is the best bit of the tune'

she waves her fingers in the air

says 'doesn't it make you fizz?'

and I understand that Sophie knows

what magic is

I understand that Sophie knows

what magic is

sometimes I go back in my dreams to Bristol

you can hear Jamaican music and taste the Asian sweets

then to the adventure playground

running through the streets

we were both slow readers

we could make a bow and arrow

from the wood and flint with twine

and we cut the lawn with scissors

made sense at the time

oh and I remember

Sophie dancing round the room

singing 'here it comes,

here it comes,

this is the best bit of the tune'

she waves her fingers in the air

says 'doesn't it make you fizz?;

and I understand that Sophie knows what magic is

I understand that Sophie knows what magic is

so now she pours me a glass of pink wine

she takes the babies wellies off

and whispers to him 'bed time'

when he’s sleeping she hunts through the CD pile

she says 'you've gotta hear this one, gotta hear this one'

she starts to smile

so now I’m watching Sophie dancing round the room

singing here it comes here it comes this is the best bit of the tune

she waves her fingers in the air

'doesn't it make you fizz?'

understand that Sophie knows what magic is

now I am reminded

what music is

so I get up with her,

dancing round the room

here it comes

here it comes

this is the best bit of the tune

we wave our fingers in the air

'doesn't it make you fizz'

I understand that Sophie know what magic is

you must understand that Sophie knows what magic is

though I am taller in many ways I’m smaller

then my big sis
