Kevin Coyne Everybody Says Lyrics

Everybody says, yes, I'll be flying high one day (x2)

But it's not easy, not easy to change

When you've always seen the world in color of black and grey

Everybody says, yes, hold your hands right up and smile (x2)

But I'm not smiling although I try

Show me the wretched of the world and I am liable to cry

Everybody says, yes, why do you always weep and moan (x2)

It's because I don't expect a change
I've gone round this ballroom so many times now I can't dance

So everybody says, yes, believe in yourself now, try and try

Kiss your best friend, kiss him long

I will try to kiss him but I won't feel so very strong

I'm weakening now, I'm weakening down

Yes I'm weakening, falling around, bury my head once again into that solid barren ground
