Don't be fooled by appearances, |
|
It only shows what the world already knows |
|
Don't rely on the physical evidence |
|
Of what the x-ray pictures show |
|
Because inside every straight upright citizen a tormented |
|
Emotionally impaired psycologically damaged personality resides |
|
And beside every crooked man stands an angel with wings |
|
And the spirit can do truly wonderous things |
|
As I watch the hump-backed man hobble down the high street |
|
I say a silent prayer for myself |
|
I was taken to the local doctor |
|
For a consultation about my physical health |
|
I heard him ask about my family - history |
|
"You see, Mrs. Davies, it might be hereditary. Yes it might" |
|
Maybe think about my family, 'cause socially could be |
|
"You were a physical deformity" |
|
'Cos the world only sees what it believes and is revealed in the x-ray |
|
It only knows what it knows, photographs, video and the printed word |
|
Yes/But there is more in this heaven on earth |
|
Than (what)/(what those scientists now and) is revealed on/in the x-ray |
|
Ev'ry morning I got up and looked in the mirror to see if the hump had |
|
Appeared on my back. To my disappointment I was not a freak. |
|
You see, maybe there'd be side benefits to become in a cripple, |
|
Side benefits like prioroty seating at football matches. And I thought |
|
"If I'm gonna be a cripple, I'll go all the way" |
|
They could photograph reality, |
|
But they can't picture your fantasy |
|
'Cos the world only sees what it believes and is revealed in the x-ray |
|
It only knows what it knows, photographs, video and the printed word |
|
Yes/But there is more in this heaven on earth |
|
Than (what)/(what those scientists now and) is revealed on/in the x-ray |
|
'Cos the world only sees what it believes and is revealed in the x-ray |
|
It only knows what it knows, photographs, video and the printed word |
|
Yes/But there is more in this heaven on earth |
|
Than (what)/(what those scientists now and) is revealed on/in the x-ray |
