Name that Tune!

[Platypus]

Post as much of the lyrics as you can make out.

One man's got that picture in his head,
is his Alison (something rival/survival?)
trying to decide if he loves(?) her(?)
and the girl child (something)

Chorus: The wind cries Alison
The wind tries to make him see her (???)
where's that (????) called Alison
(???)

Next verse:
One man's got that picture in his head,
(??)
I was there in Germany
Out in the winter of forty three

Chorus.
Instrumental

Next verse: one man sat there and smiled (??)

sorry I've lost the will to live after listening to it about 20 times




EDIT: Thanks MrRobin, you did a much better job.

No probs... A fair bit of mine didn't make any sense... I think your interpretations are better

I'm the originator of this song. It's from the Friday Rock Show's Friday Night Connection about 30 years ago. You had to identify three pieces of music and the connection between them. The connection was things nautical, so ferret is most likely ferry.

I also think that Alison is the name of a place, not a person, because I think the lyrics contain:

This is Alison my home. Try to describe the beloved pines....

The other two songs were My Friend by The Steve Miller Band from the album Sailor and The White Ship by H.P. Lovecraft. At the end of the three songs, Tommy Vance, the DJ, says: There are two songs in there that you might know if you really remember the Sixties, but there's one song in there that I don't think anybody will know and it's not that old either.

I have a feeling that it might be called Oceans 11 but this is impossible to search because of the film. There must be somebody out there who knows what it is.
