Lyric Pick

 For the benefit of Mr. Kite

For the benefit of Mr. Kite
There will be a show tonight on trampoline
The Hendersons will all be there
Late of Pablo-Fanques Fair
Have you seen it? Its great. They got stuff.

Over men and horses hoops and garters

Lastly through a hogshead of real fire!
In this way Mr. K. will challenge the world!
With the blue people! They're great! They're just... chilled out!

The celebrated Mr. K.

Performs his feat on Saturday at Bishopsgate.
Nice neck of the wFor the benefit of Mr. Koods.
The Hendersons theyre gonna dance and sing
As Mr. Kite flies through the ring don't be late.
Mrs. K and H. assure the public
Their production is second to none baby.
And of course Henry The Horse gonna do the waltz!

Oh you gotta see it, its genius! I mean shes brilliant, shes got the stuff and movements and squats. Horses how do they

do that
stuff? You gotta give her sugar, you know, and shes called Henry and its a lot of explanation but dont worry about it kids.
Ok?
Just tune in, turn off, drop out, drop in, switch off, switch on, and explode.

The band begins at ten to six

When Mr. K. performs his tricks without a sound
And Mr. H. will demonstrate
Ten somersets he's gonna do on solid ground.
Whatever they are!

Having been some days in preparation

A splendid time is guaranteed for all
And tonight Mr. Kite is topping the bill baby! Across the universe.

It's me! I'm on top of the bill! I spent years getting to this point! Im bloody brilliant. This is golden, you gotta see

what I do man. I got horses, and dogs, and cats, and monekys, and blue people. Its just , its such a collection. I spent
years putting it together. You gotta watch it. You gotta see it. Its me. In the thing! 
...Yeah!



General idea/story inference:
I think this song is not really about any one thing.  But it explains how crazy things can be when you are tired or had a little to much fun last night.  When people hear this song I believe the first thing they do is get confused and maybe a little scarred, because its different and strange, but what we all need to know is, that is how life is, and we need to get use to it.

Quote inferences:
For the benifite of Mr. K. I think that line shows us how we do things blindly.  No one knows who Mr. K is, but we just keep going
The band begins at ten to six. This line shows how random and unpredictable life is. I mean, ten to six? Who does that?!
Its me! In the thing! .  This line shows that we never really know whats going on.  He says a few times that he spent years putting it together, yet he doesn't even know what the "thing" is.
And tonight Mr. Kite is topping the bill baby! Across the universe.  It's me.  This line is when he revels that the one singing is actually Mr. K and he was singing about him self the whole time.  It shows we all like to take credit for stuff and be prideful.
Just tune in, turn off, drop out, drop in, switch off, switch on, and explode.  We are all random and have no idea what the heck is going on in our lives in the long run... or now
