Lyrics Everybody Says - Kevin Coyne

Everybody Says

But it’s not easy, not easy to change
When you’ve always seen the world in color of black and grey
Everybody says, yes, hold your hands right up and smile (x2)
But I’m not smiling although I try
Show me the wretched of the world and I am liable to cry
Everybody says, yes, why do you always weep and moan (x2)
It’s because I don’t expect a change
I’ve gone round this ballroom so many times now I can’t dance
So everybody says, yes, believe in yourself now, try and try
Kiss your best friend, kiss him long
I will try to kiss him but I won’t feel so very strong
I’m weakening now, I’m weakening down
Yes I’m weakening, falling around, bury my head once again into that solid
barren ground
