Rambling On Lyrics - Singles - Procol Harum

A local picture house 

Was showing a Batman movie 

You see this guy fly up in the sky 

Thought to myself, "Why shouldn't I?" 

Bought a pair of wings 

Went upon the wall 

Was about to jump into the air 

When a man from the street called, he said: 

"Hey wait a minute! 

Don't you realize the danger? 

What do you think you are 

Some kind of angel?"

5 Totally Underrated Christmas Songs 

I considered for a minute 

Thought "He only speaks the truth" 

For the barbells on my eyelids 

Only emphasized my youth 

And the sawdust in my plimsolls 

Means the same to him as me 

But that's neither here nor further 

So I spoke considerately 

"If you understand 

Just what I'm trying to say, 

Whatever you do, don't grin, 

You'll give the game away!" 

Photos 

By now a crowd had gathered 

And it seemed that all was lost 

In the anger of the moment 

I had diced with death and lost 

It seemed to me the time was right 

So I burst into song 

In the anger of the moment 

The crowd began to sing along 

I could not see a way out of this predicament 

Just then a breeze 

Cruised through the trees 

And up in the air I went 

I must have flown a mile 

Or maybe it was eight 

Thought to myself pretty soon 

I'd hit the Golden Gate 

Just then a passing bird 

For no reason I could see 

Took a peck at my wings 

And that was the end of me 

I went down, hit the ground 

Faster than the speed of sound 

Luckily I broke no bones 

Only tore my underclothes 

...
