Nothing New Under The Sun

Song Nothing New Under The Sun
Artist Thomas Dolby
Album A Map Of The Floating City

Lyrics

There is nothing new under the sun
Hippocratic oath
Apathy on toast
Psilocybin nutroast
Panic on the seas
Mozzarella cheese
Diplomatic deep-freeze
Stuck for a line
You grovel for a rhyme
God is nearly vocal time
Head without a spine
Why am I surprised
To find you supine
Hey any fool can write a hit
Loop me a breakbeat baby
I'll tweak it till it fits
During the bounce
I can sniff my own armpit
There is nothing new under the sun
From a little germ
Incubator worm
Watch a chrysalis emerge
Lord of the flies
Human genocides
Lyrically justified
You could have quit while you're on top
I know, there is no fool like a fool
That don't know when to stop
Live long enough
You begin to question
There is nothing new under the sun
Fiddle with a stapler
Spin a paperweight
Watch the market fluctuate
Suddenly a tune
Bolt from the blue
Music is in love with you
Somehow the cancer found a lung
You woke up to hear your words
On the tip of every tongue
Now go learn to live
The legend you've become
There is nothing new under the sun
There is nothing new under the sun
There is nothing new
