SING A SONG OF SYMPATHY

It’s cold outside as the sun burns down

In the distant land there is a crying sound

If we turn up the amp and sing a song

We can all declare we can do no wrong

With the stars on board and a glass of wine

A pic shoot and they’ll sing a line

I’ll give up my time it’s all for free

But don’t touch my bank cos I don’t have the key

A superstar with time to spare

Will give you half a glance

I know what ideal to save the rest

I’ll give them all a chance

We’ll sing our song it will not be long

Till your feeling at your best

My band will roar with another score

And you can do the rest

CHORUS

Why can’t you see that what they need

Is more than a cheerful song

You hide your wealth and promote yourself

As their savior all along,

So sing a song of sympathy

A pocket full of stars

Four and twenty limousines

Shined and polished cars

And when the show is over

They all go on there way

With a pat on the back

We can all relax

They’ve saved the world today

So all dig deep to fill the pot

And watch it over flow

Can’t find my cheque and my pens run out

But my band is ready to go

From behind my shades a vision in light

I know what to do I know what is right

The large mans spoke and I’ve been told

Look at me mar I’m on top of the world

Apersonal whiz who sits on the gate

With more money to spend than a crumbling state

I watch my mouse as it runs around

Amused to death by its crying sound

There’s a football star who’s paid to far

Has finally lost the plot

I’ll kick a ball and look real cool

But then I’ll have to stop

Cos this sparkling bling just doesn’t sing

The tale I want to tell

Its way too small and to top it all

The cheapness is a hell

No time to waste I must make haste

I’m off to a fund raising heist

With suit to boot the charity loot

Will never match its price

Its cut real clean it must be seen

But you can’t have one too

At the end of the night if the price is right

Can I send an I.O.U?

CHORUS

So sing a song of sympathy

For the bride and groom the wedding looms

As they startto panic now

The coloured blooms that fill the room

Just do not project some how

250K on there special day

For flowers cannot be right

They wanted more to fill the floor

But hey they’ll last the night

The vicar stares with gasps of air

As he reads their wedding lines

You’ve got the lot yet lost the plot

If this is a sign of the times

The collection tin will rattle thin

And there is still a hole in the roof

But that’s just fine I’ll skip the wine

Or I’ll end up speaking the truth

The vows you take will crack and brake

Cos your cares about just not that strong

And that rock you wear I must disappear

There’s just something seriously wrong

It could feed the earth but for what its worth

It might not last that long

CHORUS

So sing a song of sympathy..

A silent stroll but the bell will not toll

To the sound of a shaking can

Who stands alone without a moan

To the fact that they do not get a hand

And when it done they’ll count the fund

And bless it on its way

Across the land salvation stands

And sends some hope this day

CHORUS

So sing a song of sympathy.
