| Call this the nothing song, the nothing man am I
|
| I dream of bowler-hatted men in clear blue skies
|
| Sweet rain falling up instead of falling down
|
| Make something of me if you will or turn around.
|
| Cry die, dance tonight,
|
| What’s yours is mine is yours by right
|
| Call them the nothing men, the nothing words are theirs
|
| They like Sunday hats and walk about in pairs
|
| I’d like to be discreet, just in one sense of course
|
| Or out with a lady doing a Viennese waltz.
|
| I agree we never see the sense
|
| We laugh at them as mother pours the tea
|
| On Saturdays I wear my Sunday best
|
| On Sundays stay in bed till two or three.
|
| Song of the morning is ours at the sunrise.
|
| Dream, floating on a silver shoes out across candlewick skies.
|
| Clean light washing the sleep from our eyes, our eyes.
|
| She is nothing girl he a nothing man
|
| They go out for walks but never find the time
|
| We play another song but for a choir
|
| Led by a briarwood flute played by a Jesuit friar.
|
| I agree we never see the sense
|
| We laugh at them as mother pours the tea
|
| I’m quite austere for one of my degree
|
| But does the hatter really laugh with me? |
