If it's meant to be a party, then I don't know why I came
I haven't got a funny hat, and the jokes are kind of tame
Whoever drew this guest list up has got to be insane
Won't someone please explain?
Just don't talk to me of governments, don't talk to me of law
My eyes have seen the changes, and I've heard it all before
Talk to me of promise, and the stars are shining bright
And this good old dog will rise again tonight
Fate spun me round, and blew me down, like a snowflake on the run
I turned around, and I held my ground, throwing pebbles at the sun
It's six o'clock, all seemed lost, but the tide had turned by one
So I made towards the door, saying what for?
Just don't talk to me of governments, don't talk to me of law
My eyes have seen the changes, and I've heard it all before
Talk to me of promise, and the stars are shining bright
And this good old dog will rise again tonight
If you think that life's a circus, then the whole world's not a clown
Better thinking that away, than smiling as you drown
Me and my mind is made up, I don't want to bring you down
It's the least that I can do, if I love you
Just don't talk to me of governments, don't talk to me of law
My eyes have seen the changes, and it bores me to the core
Talk to me of promise, and the stars are shining bright
Of sunny days and summer nights, and beaches filled with white
Of swimming pools and barbecues, kissing games and tennis shoes
Brand new sports car, hard to use, and what went on when the lights all blew
Talk to me of big eyed girls, with the love light in their eyes
And this good old dog will rise again tonight
