[Jasper]
I am not myself these days - for all I
Know I might be you
There's more than room enough for two inside my mind
[Sapsea]
I am likewise in a haze of who I am from
Scene to scene;
What's more we two, (we four, I mean)
Are in a bind!
[Jasper]
For is it I or is it me?
[Sapsea]
And if I'm him and if I'm he, each on of us might not
Agree on what to do
[Jasper]
And if I take opposing sides within myself
Then who divides up what is right or wrong?
[Sapsea]
I'll go along with you
[Both]
Ha'penny, one penny, tupenny, thrupenny
Twelve to a shilling, twice that to a florin
And would you not fancy the currency foreign
To find the same face on both sides of the coin?
Bob is your uncle from pennies to guineas
The two-sided mint is the rule, not exception
And would you not quite feel quite the fool of deception
To find the same face on both sides of the coin?
[Sapsea]
Odds or evens, it's high or low
It's up or down or night
[Jasper]
Heads or tails, or black and white
Or left and right or day!
[Sapsea]
Nature seldom ever fails to most obligingly provide
An undisclosed opposing side to one's dismay
[Jasper]
There's shadows on this shining morn
[Sapsea]
If there's a rose it bears a thorn
[Jasper]
You're as good as dead as soon as born
[Both]
And yet we smile!
[Sapsea]
But luck's division is perverse
[Jasper]
It seems to work more in reverse
[Sapsea]
If things are better, they'll be worse in just a while!
(Repeat Chorus)
