| I know it’s the same old song I’m singing
|
| But this time these words are just for you
|
| That’s the only thing that’s new
|
| I know that I’ve sung about a million
|
| Borrowed lines and phrases from a few
|
| This one’s till as good as new
|
| Without the fanfare I love you
|
| By day I move words around like flowers
|
| I deliver by the afternoon
|
| «Cause the piper calls the tune
|
| Today I made full use of the hours
|
| I explored the smallest avenue
|
| And that feeling still came through
|
| Without the fanfare I love you
|
| Sure I’ve lost my way sometimes
|
| But I’ve had to pay
|
| Sometimes I’ve gone completely overboard
|
| Moved a million phrases round, tried to make them leave the ground
|
| Still the only line that’s soared
|
| Bidding all the rest Adieu
|
| Sounding still as good as new
|
| Without the fanfare I love you
|
| Hello, do I still have your attention?
|
| I forgot to mention thanks again from the captain and the crew
|
| And so without the sweet perfume or roses
|
| I hope you can still believe it’s true
|
| Stripped of all that much ado
|
| Without the fanfare I love you
|
| Without the fanfare I love you |
