there's a watch in my pocket
|
and its hands are broken
|
the face is blank
|
but the gears are turning
|
confusion is a fundamental
|
state of mind
|
it doesn't really matter
|
what I'm figuring out
|
I'm guaranteed to wind
|
up in a state of doubt
|
and sanity is a full time job
|
in a world
|
that is always changing
|
and sanity is a state of mind
|
that you believe in sanity
|
<Interlude>
|
there's a shadow on the wall
|
where the paint is peeling
|
my body's moving forward
|
but my mind is reeling
|
depression is a fundamental
|
state of being
|
it doesn't really matter
|
how my day has turned out
|
I always end up living
|
in this world of doubt
|
and sanity is a full time job
|
in a world
|
that is always changing
|
and sanity is a state of mind
|
that you believe in sanity
|
<Interlude>
|
and sanity is a full time job
|
in a world
|
that is always changing
|
and sanity is a state of mind
|
that you believe in sanity
|
cked down
|
and they put you first in line
|
And so you finally ask yourself
|
just how big you are
|
and take your place in a wiser
|
world of bigger motor cars
|
<Intelrude>
|
So Where the hell was Biggles
|
when you needed him
|
last Saturday
|
And where were all the sportsmen
|
who always pulled you though
|
They're all resting down
|
in Cornwall
|
writing up their memoirs
|
for a paper-back edition
|
of the Boy Scout Manual
|
See there! A man born
