swallowed whole and spat you out before you'd had a chance to blink
just when you'd built a song to change the way people think


i said, hey why now such a sudden surprise
after what they've done with the sixties
where they wrapped up janice, jimi and joni sold them

back to the hippies

everybody loves you and then everybody left

in the end there was only ever you and me ever really you and me
and the music


i cried when i saw you as hollow as all the bones inside a bird
you looked like you might explode if someone said the word


and i said hey why now such a sudden surprise
