Mr. Soft Lyrics - Steve Harley

Mr. Soft, turn around and force the world 

To watch the things you're going through 

Mr. Soft, believe everything they tell you 

And be dammed if they'll thank you 

You paint everything so cruel, 

Coming on like Mr. Cool; 

Paint your face and shout the gate, 

No one's coming home till late 

Don't you know, life gets tedious enough 

Without this extra grudge to bare 

You, so slow, shift your ideas, make your mind up 

In a jiffy, let' s be fair 

We'll be taking off tonight, 

Turn off your eyes and shut the light, 

You're the most, you're so unreal, 

We'd all be dead without your spiel! 

Mr. Soft, go to town and bring the dawn in, 

In the morning on your way 

Mr. Soft, put your feet upon the water 

And play Jesus for the day 

You begin to hear them mumble, 

Spot the Starman, rough-and-tumble, 

Fight the good fight, sling your axe, 

Watch the speaker lead the packs
