Flogging a rocking Horse
Getting nowhere
We are a pair to behold

You like a funeral me like a fair
Nobody cares for the show


These days the rapids may drag us from here
And I do not care where we go
And you say that love is what we are my dear

But I just pretend not to know

If it's the be all and end all

Then come on now love lets make a start
When love calls then it's time to play ball
But starting's the easiest part


Counting my blessings like stars in the sky
The sleep walking moon watching on

And she's seen how lovers before us have tried
My darling lets not get it wrong


If it's the be all and end all
Then come on now love lets make a start
When love calls how sudden the fall

But fallings the easiest part

I've had love come to nothing before

But it's alright it's alright
I've welcomed it in
And I've shown it the door

But it's alright it's alright
