An orphan lyric and a homeless tune managed to find each other...
Lyrics
You think I'm crazy
And I think you're sweet
Well, sometimes…sometimes
A harmless conclusion,
A simple conceit
The elegant theory remains incomplete
You think I'm clever
And I think you're strong
Well, sometimes… sometimes
And all the surprises I knew all along
Most of the time it’s so hard to be wrong
An implausible picture and thousands of bits
Some edges and corners – a battle of wits
We rummage and stare but nothing seems to fit
Recalcitrant keys in immovable locks
We’re reading the time from inaccurate clocks
And using a compass that points straight for the rocks.
You think I'm feckless
And I think you're cruel
Well, sometimes… sometimes
All our old certainties – follow the rules
Everyone's actor and nobody's fool
