Raconteur, Troubadour Lyrics - Octopus - Gentle Giant

Gather round the village square 

Come good people both wretched 

and fair 

See the troubadour play on the drum 

Hear my songs on the lute that I strum. 

I will make you laugh, 

Revel, Merry-dance 

Throw your pennies, then you'll hear 

more of 

the story-telling half 

There's no other chance, 

Always move on 

Raconteur, troubadour

Take the face that you see for the man, 

Clown and minstrel, I am what I am 

All my family, not of my kin 

Home, wherever, the place that I'm in 

Humors give me wage, 

Favors for my art 

Rising, falling 

Everyone struggle on 

All the world's a stage 

All can play their part 

I have chosen 

Raconteur, troubadour

Dusk is drawing my story is spun, 

Dawn is falling my day's work is done 

Morning, rested I set on my way 

Find new faces to offer my play 

I will make you laugh, 

Revel, Merry-dance 

Throw your pennies, then you'll hear 

more of 

The story-telling half 

There's no other chance 

Always move on 

Raconteur-Troubadour
