Van Morrison Social Climbing Scene Lyrics

[Chorus]
He doesn't belong
In the social climbing scene
He sees through it all
And the superficiality
He's a Belfast boy
And he knows just where he's from
Doesn't need no folderol
And no la-di-da

[Verse 1]
Gotta go back to connect
Where he belongs
And it's all out in the street
Then he's gotta put it into a song
It's all quiet
On the eastern front
Keep your eye on the ball (Eye on the ball)
Keep your feet on the ground (Feet on the ground)

[Verse 2]
And it's all quiet
On the eastern front
Have to say what you mean
Havе to know what you want
Have to say it all out (Say it all out)
Have to keep it all in (Keep it all in)
Have to go with thе flow (Go with the flow)
If you wanna win

[Verse 3]
Got to get away from the phony
Everything seems to be closing in
Maybe that's the reason it feels lonely
The workload is doing him in A nice time to pull up the drawbridge
Now it's time to assess
Reassess what's next
Reassess what's best

[Keyboard Solo]

[Verse 4]
It's all quiet
On the eastern front
You don't mean what you say
If you say what you want
Can't take it away (Take it away)
If they know how it feels (Know how it feels)
Keep the go with the flow (Go with the flow)
Keep spinning the wheels

[Chorus]
He doesn't belong
On the social climbing scene
'Cause he sees through it all
And the superficiality
He's a Belfast boy
And he knows just where he's from
Don't need no folderol (Folderol)
He don't want no la-di-da (La-di-da)

[Outro]
Oh, don't need no folderol (Folderol)
He don't want no la-di-da (La-di-da)
Oh, don't need no folderol (Folderol)
Don't need no la-di-da (La-di-da)
Oh, don't want no folderol (Folderol)
Don't need no la-di-da
