Les Fleur De Lys appear to have borrowed the lyrics for this song from Edward Lear's poem "Dong With The Luminous Nose". Released in 1968 on Polydor records, this track really rocks. Just listen to the guitar work and you'll be impressed!! Lyrics below:
Ten long years ago, the Gong was happy and gay
'Til he fell in love with a Jumblie girl who came to shore one day
Wandering through the forest was the Gong with the Luminous Nose
Playing his pipe with silvery sqeaks, looking for his Jumblie girl
But she's gone away in a plastic sieve to quite another world
Over the hills of Shankley Bore, was the Gong with the Luminous Nose
Landing at eve near the Zemmery Fidd, just where the Jumblies live
Oblong oysters growing in that Grambolian sieve
Over the hills of Shankley Bore was the Gong with the Luminous Nose
The Gong with the Luminous Nose
The Gong with the Luminous Nose
Said the Gong with the Luminous Nose
Gong with the Luminous Nose
Gong with the Luminous Nose
Gong with the Luminous Nose
