[INTRO] They say opposites attract… bound like strong magnets… It takes inner strength and understanding… not getting crushed by those unseen forces. Yin and Yang… Two sides of the coin… Each of us pushing… Both of us pulling… Turmoil and tension of two contrasting lifetimes… constantly fighting… moving parallel… ever tightening. How did this happen… what keeps us still going… Miracle is… nearly fifty years on… and still no way of knowing. [VERSE] A chance glance in a basement brothel… Getting cheeky in Auld Reekie… Fancy wigs, cocktails and cigs… in arty student digs. Loud music, excitement, feeling smart… heady mix of hormones and art. [VERSE] An old chap says: Wonderful eyes, Hen… they’re just like my dug Then George says: This’s Dave… Bin everywhere, dun eveything He said: Nice intro, but there’s more I’d like to try She thought: He’s a clever hunk… gotta keep his trunk outta my junk [CHORUS] Life flies by, lots of highs and deep sighs… A life spent dancing on egg shells We must all dare to scribble and scheme… Mama told me about boys and that thing We have to let go, to let life flow… Paint me a picture and see the river glow Lodger, lover, loather… A shoulder to cry on Comfort, compass, keeper… A warm soul to rely on [VERSE] Walking the Camino inside us… looking for the path to Enlighten us. Seeking the stairway to heaven… Trying zipwires to hell. Wanting to be grown ups… then acting like toddlers. Fearing losing control… trying daily to stay strong. [VERSE] He became an old man… ranting at the radio She became a bold woman… dancing in the studio We swam across the river… always hand in hand Now we’re near the other bank… hoping for a promised land. [CHORUS] Life flies by, lots of highs and deep sighs… A life spent dancing on egg shells We must all dare to scribble and scheme… Mama told me about boys and that thing We have to let go, to let life flow… Paint me a picture and see the river glow Lodger, lover, loather… A shoulder to cry on Comfort, compass, keeper… A warm soul to rely on [OUTRO] And so we go… on with the show… I hope you like my tune… It’ll end all too soon! Catchy little ditty… Keep trying Einstein… Mama told me about boys like you… See you on the flip side.
