Kevin Ayers - Ballad Of A Salesman Who Sold Himself lyrics

There was moonlight and laughter That danced on the sands And bloodstained pianos Are played without hands Such a promising music Sweet whispers and dreams From a travelling window, The salesman who screamed. Moonlight, saturday night It's now or never Oh play stormy weather, For me, for me. I lived in the flower shop Called "love is so sweet!" And i get all my kicks From the customers' feet. Well, i'm just a stranger, None stranger than i. My head in the quicksand My feet in the sky. I was carefully crazy When playing the game. 'cause business is business And i'm not to blame. Climb on my back It's a wet afternoon ; A bottle of booze, A bit of a tune to sing; Goodbye, everything; Goodbye, everything....
