You keep writing clues on my palm,
Then you wipe the pen marks with a brush.
You say that you ain't afraid of no man,
that if they get us, you'll eat them alive.
That's you all over.
Leaves keep falling butter-side down,
You've been wearing the same jacket for six years.
At gigs you're shouting: "Rock on!"
You start losing your sight from reading in the bath.
You're the cure for all evil
And the hope for the coming year.
You're the star in the darkness.
A world happiness champion.
That's you, that's you all over.
You're the cure for all evil
And the hope for the coming year.
You're the alpha and omega
A hymn, a carol.
That's you, the inscrutable you.
When folly and poverty align to bring me down,
You monkey about and the house is in full swing.
The flames in my eyes spark again
If only for you, I want to live again.
You're the cure for all evil
And the hope for the coming year.
You're the star in the darkness.
A world happiness champion.
That's you, that's you all over.
You're the cure for all evil
And the hope for the coming year.
You're the alpha and omega
A hymn, a carol.
That's you, the inscrutable you.
