After All |
| Please trip them gently |
| They don’t like to fall (Oh by jingo) |
| There’s no room for anger |
| We’re all very small (Oh by jingo) |
| We’re painting our faces and dressing in thoughts from the skies |
| From paradise |
| But they think that we’re holding a secretive ball |
| Won’t someone invite the |
| They’re just taller children |
| That’s all |
| After all |
| Man is an obstacle, |
| Sad as the clown (Oh by jingo) |
| So hold on to nothing |
| And he won’t let you down (Oh by jingo) |
| Some people are marching together and some on their own |
| Quite alone |
| Others are running |
| The smaller ones crawl |
| But some sit in silence |
| They’re just older children |
| That’s all |
| After all |
| I sing with impertinence |
| Shading impermanent chords |
| With my words |
| I’ve borrowed your time and I’m sorry I called |
| But the thought just occurred |
| That we’re nobody’s children |
| At all |
| After all |
| Live till your rebirth |
| And do what you will (Oh by jingo) |
| Forget all I’ve said |
| Please bear me no ill (Oh by jingo) |
| After all |
| After all |
