How could we not notice it before?Well you may as well have pinned it to my doorWell lately I'm oh so slowly coming roundTo the fact that this friend is a friend no more And if you think you're right then you are wrongNo one ever really knew what's going onNow we're all so slowly coming roundAnd this friend of a friend was no friend all along The penny drops from the top of Tour EiffelThrough the boulevards to Taj MahalA penny more through the floor of Sacre CoeurFrom the Spanish main to Yorkshire moors

In nights of old, they lie in the roads.Off with their heads, and always lead opinion polls. Going in and out of, another state of, try not to be obvious, with the ringside seats. In uniforms, of green and gold,Like crocodiles they march in files of unison. Going in and out of, another state of, try not to be obvious, with the ringside seats.Going in and out of, another state of, try not to be obvious, you get the first one free.

The one thing you can't have, you like too much.You look but you cannot touch. Like dominoes, one only goes. They all will fall, sail the ship, rock the boat.
