Lyrics Shape of Things - Roger Chapman

Shape of Things

Crazy night bordello’s in the heart of town
Me in my tuxedo you a pretty gown
Now you’re nestling down under another’s wing
I forgot to take accountings for the shape of things.
We danced away the orchestra played on and on
The last waltz came around and then we’d head for home
Now you’re nestling down under another’s wing
I forgot to take accountings for the shape of things
Loneliness it held me in its tiny frozen clutch
I’d walk the streets of the city
Or I’d catch the midnite bus
I’d walk the darkened alleys
Held by the city lights,
Neon signs above my eyes
Repeat the same phrase twice, the same phrase.
Your eyes were warm we stood beneath the harbour lights
A foghorn whistle moaned and stole away the night
Now you’re nestling down under another’s wing
I forgot to take accountings for the shape of things
I didn’t see it coming through those tender days
Like smoke caught in the wind you left me all ablaze
Now you’re nestling down under another’s wing
I forgot to take accountings for the shape of things.
