Roy Harper - Sophisticated Beggar lyrics

I'm just a sophisticated beggar living underneath your summer day Counting all my blessings as I'm counting all the money I've accumulated on my way I don't want your plastic Gods Tin-pot religions and silly ideas All I want is your money I listen to you but I know you have nothing to say I'm just a sophisticated beggar living underneath your summer day I'm an emancipated firework exploding on your busy street Strumming my guitar as you pa** in your car always trying to knock me clean off my feet I don't care if you own the whole world The stars in the sky Or a heavenly body You're wasting your time if it's only that that you're trying to convey 'Cos I'm just a sophisticated beggar living underneath your summer day I'm an emaciated hipster drinking dreams and eating consciousness Standing in the gutter in the middle of a splutter hiding horrors underneath my largesse I'd be hoarse for a million years Trying to rescue my brain from the flood of my mind And all that I need, seems to me, to be needless to say 'Cos I'm just a sophisticated beggar living underneath your summer day
