lyrics

Close Encounter (With A UFO)
(Cardier)

I had a close encounter with a UFO,
UFO, UFO -
Close encounter with a UFO -
Didn't tell nobody though.

It come outa the sky and I dunno why,
Dunno why, and I dunno why -
It come crashin' down in my backyard -
I was eatin' a sandwich at the time.

It was a situation I did not like -
A flying saucer had just busted my bike -
A funny little guy stuck his head outside -
He said, 'Excuse me, where the hell am I?’

Well, he looked at me, and I looked at him,
And he looked at me, and I looked at him -
I said, 'Why do you look like a parkin' meter?'
He said, 'I dunno why. And I don't care either!’

I had a close encounter with a UFO,
UFO, UFO -
A close encounter with a UFO -
Didn't tell nobody though.

He said he had a message from outer space -
He had the secret to eternal happiness -
He said, 'Hop inside. We'll take a ride
And maybe spread the word to the human race!'
Well, I said, 'No thanks. That's ok. That's ok. Thanks anyway.'
He said, 'You wouldn't know what happiness was like!'
I said, 'I'd be happier if you hadn't busted my bike!'
So he took off. He said, 'Adios!'
I said, 'Adios!' He said, 'Adios!'
Left me here to count the cost
And everything went back to the way it was.
I had a close encounter with a UFO,
UFO, UFO -
Close encounter with a UFO -
Didn't tell nobody though.

Glenn Cardier image

Glenn Cardier Sydney, Australia

Post 2000, Glenn Cardier’s re-emergence as a songwriter/performer of real distinction has been nothing short of extraordinary. In typical single-minded fashion, he writes, performs and produces his music. Onstage, there are the trademark flashes of dark humour and thumping rockabilly/blues. But underlying it all are the songs. Happy/sad songs. Sweet/crazy songs. Cardier songs. CDs on the website. ... more
