See the statues in the square
|
They almost look alive
|
It's amazing after all these years
|
How they've survived
|
Two young children gazing at them
|
Faces so forlorn
|
One is saying to the other
|
I wonder how they're born
|
|
It's funny how we always tend
|
To look back on our past
|
As if they were the only good times
|
That we're ever going to have
|
|
See the river heading outwards
|
Watch the ships sail in
|
Notice how despite their size
|
They very rarely sink
|
|
Tell the man who's watching with you
|
His shoelace is undone
|
When he looks pretend you didn't notice
|
You were wrong
|
|
And anytime there's trouble up ahead
|
Don't get into a state
|
Where you wish you were dead
|
Just take your time and do
|
What you believe is right
|
It could turn out to be
|
A blessing in disguise-disguise-
|
|
It's funny how we always tend
|
To overlook the bad
|
Doesn't anybody know that
|
It's so easy to be sad
|
|
Talk about doing what you do best
|
Seems to me the more you do
|
The less you get
|
All told I would say that it was pretty grim
|
Although on the other hand
|
I've got a ring
|
|
Mass unemployment's at an all time best
|
Why not quit your job and take a well earned rest
|
Grow old on the dole
|
That's the life I need
|
Everybody's doing it so why not me
|
