Don't be fooled by appearances,

it only shows what the world already knows

Don't rely on the physical evidence

of what the x-ray pictures show

Because inside every straight upright citizen a tormented

emotionally impaired psycologically damaged personality resides

And beside every crooked man stands an angel with wings

and the spirit can do truly wonderous things



As I watch the hump-backed man hobble down the high street

I say a silent prayer for myself

I was taken to the local doctor

for a consultation about my physical health

I heard him ask about my family - history

"You see, Mrs. Davies, it might be hereditary. Yes it might"

Maybe think about my family, 'cause socially could be

"You were a physical deformity"



'Cos the world only sees what it believes and is revealed in the x-ray

It only knows what it knows, photographs, video and the printed word

Yes/But there is more in this heaven on earth

than (what)/(what those scientists now and) is revealed on/in the x-ray



Ev'ry morning I got up and looked in the mirror to see if the hump had

appeared on my back. To my disappointment I was not a freak.

You see, maybe there'd be side benefits to become in a cripple,

side benefits like prioroty seating at football matches. And I thought

"If I'm gonna be a cripple, I'll go all the way"



They could photograph reality,

but they can't picture your fantasy

'Cos the world only sees what it believes and is revealed in the x-ray

It only knows what it knows, photographs, video and the printed word

Yes/But there is more in this heaven on earth

than (what)/(what those scientists now and) is revealed on/in the x-ray



'Cos the world only sees what it believes and is revealed in the x-ray

It only knows what it knows, photographs, video and the printed word

Yes/But there is more in this heaven on earth
