Rupert Holmes - Both Sides of the Coin lyrics

[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)
