Edwyn Collins - You Poor Deluded Fool lyrics

What in the world's it coming to? There was a time i felt you knew So in desperation i followed you They said you were wise beyone your years Not for yourself you cried those tears But no one asked you for your sympathy He rides into town astride a mule Pity the poor deluded fool It's not that no one wants you It's just your past that haunts you When you broke every rule Ignored every cue You were so headstrong and so proud How could they think that you'd cow tow? That's the one thing You could not allow You were the first, you'll be the last Something's that's far beyond their grasp No matter. What's pa**ed has pa**ed He rides into town astride a mule Pity the poor deluded fool And if they should reject you You know i'll still respect you When they're playing it cool So unspeakably cruel Good luck you crazy fool You Poor Deluded Fool You Poor Deluded Fool You Poor Deluded Fool You Poor Deluded Fool You Poor Deluded Fool
