Lyrics The Mind Boggles - Gilbert O'Sullivan

The Mind Boggles

Hard not to know when I know what I’m seeing
The mind boggles
Cars on the road, no driver is needing
The mind boggles
Two out of three isn’t quite as bad as
One out of four making me as mad as
I always get when the ball’s in the net
Yet through my vein it’s been
No man’s an island, thank God for that
Imagine the where, you just have to laugh
Women at night on the island of their dreams
Watching repeats of repeats, they’re repeating
The mind boggles
Where’s the surprise, have you seen what you’re seeing
The mind boggles
Show me a world where the people on it
Don’t live in fear someone near will bomb it
Don’t set aside that this ain’t for those
Looked upon as poor
Show me a film where the violence doesn’t
Glorify scenes you would think it mustn’t
And yet we will for the thrill, cry out for more, more
The mind boggles
The mind boggles
Watching a team that you know won’t deliver
The mind boggles
How can they not stop the rut getting bigger
The mind boggles
A nation that thrives on its independence
We’ll have our leader to represent them
Take in the values we all respect, do they harm at all?
Not one of these things is God almighty
Being abusive and only slightly
Doing for us what we must while on His throne
Stretching a face so you look even younger
The mind boggles
Eyes you can now barely see out from under
The mind boggles
Now when it comes down to what you are thinking
The mind boggles
Sat in a boat that you know could be sinking
The mind boggles
Watching a show that you know is a bummer
The mind boggles
How could they not know that boss be your brother
The mind boggles
Where there’s a will, let Him know, He delivers
The mind boggles
Burning them up as quicker
The mind boggles
