Flogging a rocking Horse Getting nowhere We are a pair to behold You like a funeral me like a fair Nobody cares for the show These days the rapids may drag us from here And I do not care where we go And you say that love is what we are my dear But I just pretend not to know If it's the be all and end all Then come on now love lets make a start When love calls then it's time to play ball But starting's the easiest part Counting my blessings like stars in the sky The sleep walking moon watching on And she's seen how lovers before us have tried My darling lets not get it wrong If it's the be all and end all Then come on now love lets make a start When love calls how sudden the fall But falling's the easiest part I've had love come to nothing before But it's alright it's alright I've welcomed it in And I've shown it the door But it's alright it's alright
