And it's all a game
I know we'll stay the same

Now, red is urgent, green's a let off

Whose golden tongue she will believe
Defies the order

When I was a child
I held you in my d...

When I was born I was running
As my feet hit the ground
Before I could talk I was humming

Slowly walk the sacred fool
Countenance sublime
Shining in the light of love

I come from the tin pan valley and I'm moving right along
I live on former glory, so long ago and gone
I'm turning down the talk shows, the humour and the couch
I'm moving up to higher ground - ...
Good morning!
What we have in mind is breakfast in bed for four hundred thousand!
