Oh you send all your loving to the girl of your dreams
only to fi nd she ain’t all that she seems
lost in an ocean full of sympathetic beer
I tried to make it all disappear
But oh no what have I done
I’ve got my head so far up I can’t see the sun
an old fossil said to me
I know it’s hard but that’s part of life’s little recipe
They are safe in the knowledge of whoever they are
but things they really want to say wont get them very far
politically correct yes they play it so well
they all know the rules and no one’s going to tell
They don’t know what they’ve done
they’ve got there heads so far up they can’t see the sun
that old fossil said to me
I know it’s hard but that’s part of life’s little recipe
Oh I spend most my time doing things I despise
someday they say you will fi nally get wise
living in a world of materialistic minds
I long for yesterdays beautiful times
I don’t know where they’ve gone
I’ve got my head so far up I can’t see the sun
that old legend says to me
I know it’s hard but that’s part of life’s little recipe
you look at me
call me square I don’t care this is how I want to be
you that’s what he said to me
yes it’s true everybody got there own little recipe
