| Vanities |
| Big bad man's law doesn't carry much sway When you come around here You can still scratch my back And I can still change sides Don't carry no torch 'til you have it in type That I'm doing okay It's only one man's outlook It could be one more lie Look at it closely Counterfeit mostly Yesterdays's brushwork Using yesterdays' paint And everything that I believe And every note that you receive They're just vanities to you Hear that Liverpool wind as I'm making my way For the very last time Is this a resurrection? And do you really care? I can't relish no kiss 'til I happen to hear Your honeycomb nouns Let you down so often I'll do the same again Look at it closely Counterfeit mostly Yesterday's stories It's the same all over the world And everything that I believe And every note that you receive They're just vanities to you Busy little bodies have a story to tell Even if it goes against the grain Tiny little seeds have got an ocean to swell But who am I to rock the boat And everything that I believe And every note that you receive Look at it closely Counterfeit mostly Yesterday's brushwork Using yesterday's pain Look at it closely Counterfeit mostly Yesterday's stories It's the same all over the world |
