It's easy sometimes we just coast along
Cm7 F9 Cm7 F9
But like it or not something always seems to go wrong
Cm7 f9 Cm7 F9
Sometimes people build you up just so they can knock you down
Cm7 F9 Cm7 F9
Sometimes they will have you there because they need someone around
Cm7 F9 Cm7 F9
Perhaps you'll receive invitations for tea
Cm7 F9 Cm7 F9
or perhaps you will laugh and you will make them all smile
Cm7 F9 Cm7 F9
Or maybe you'll join them cause they have to be
Cm7 F9 Cm7 F9
Perhaps you'll forget that you forgot for a while
Cm7 F9 Cm7 F9
Birds of a feather are flocking outside (4x)
Cm7 F9 (4x)
like whippets they dance in a curly queue dance
of pulses and ringing and campfire chants
of ritual drumming although at first glance
you thought you could run but you won't take a chance
it's not an experience if they can't bring someone along
they hang on emotions they bottle inside
they peck at the ground and they strut out of stride
[chorus]
