It's one thing to say
another thing to do
you say you love me
well i love me too
You say you're sorry
well I'm sorry too
and one of us is missing
but we don't know who
+
It's one thing to say
another thing to know
the voices ring out
like the stones we throw
the path that we're leading
is the smoke that we show
is the path of the dove
or the path of the crow
+
one thing to say
a truth to a power
and those in the ivory tower
hate those in the golden tower
The man in the golden tower
hates those of the ivory tower
and he likes a golden toilet
probably likes a golden shower
+
It's on thing to say
another thing to do
i got it all worked out
gonna sing it to you
The only piece that doesn't make sense
is one blue shoe
and the thing that you left
in the portable loo
+
it's one thing to say
another thing to cry
+
He says he'll take good care
of your things while you're away
leave it with him
while you go out and play
Well my advice is to not believe
one word that he'll say
Cause he will sell everything
on the very first day
+
She said I'm leaving
I said well I'm coming too
She said I'm leaving
He said well I'm coming too
Cause my life
is without nothing without you
Cause my life
is without nothing without you
+
you drove the tanker
to the city at dawn
i'll wait by the tree
for the smoke or the horn
my body is bare
and my clothing is torn
and burned and bloody
from the rose and the thorn
+
one thing to say
anther to understand
Cause i may be young
but not too young to understand
Before you cross the road daddy
take my little hand
that life is what happens
when you're in a big rock band
+
All of your wishes
are blowing around
O all of your wishes
moaning and dying
I'd sooner vote for him
than be lying here crying
and into all our ointments
this fly is aflying
+
She said I
I love you
He said I think we're going
to have to see this whole thing through
