Story behind the song
The symbolism of drinking a solution which unlocking the hidden man within - written with Lucy in mind - the song is in 4 parts : 1) Rocking start as the doctor, the story unfolds and then... 2) Changes to a dark, sinister gothic type toon as he undergoes the change then 3) Drifty (with rotary organ (hello Lucy)) as he drifts away from consciousness into another realm... 4) Back to the rockin start toon as he comes round he is himself again. Ends with a twist that takes you straight back in.....
Lyrics
There once a doctor long ago Whose name was Jeckyll - yeah Poor old doc J. he let himself go One day he bacame a right pair! Playing around with mind altering things He stumbled across oh something quite new Ooh the effects his concoxion did bring He didn't quite know just what to do After just a sip he started to churn His heart did skip, he started to burn Icy chills ran feet to his head "Don't stop now!!" a voice said He staggered to the mirror above the sink Splashed some cold water to help himself think But looking up he hardly recognised The face grinning back with glowing green eyes Hair grew like wild fire from everywhere And muscles started swelling he didn't even know were there His lab coat split and hung in shreds below 'Get a grip' he thought but a voice argued "No!!" In a panic so blind he threw acid all over the floor He wanted a cure, Mr Hyde just wanted more Broken test tubes lay here and there Chemicals reacting smoked into the air Losing his grip on consciousness, reality impared He felt himself succumb to the monster whose body he shared Felt him jump through the window to the ground far below Lost control of his senses as he let himself go go go go go........... Oh Mr Doppelganger - where art thou?! Oh Mr Doppelganger - where am I now?! When the doc came to beneath a willow tree His blank mind sensed a very strange dream 'Am I Mr Hyde or am I me?!' It was all so strange, where had he been...?! Now he was lost for all it was worth As he stodd in tatters scratching his head Then he felt a bottle in his pocket - what on earth...?! "Go on drink it!!" a familiar voice said go on drink it! go on drink it!! go on drink it!!!
