Flogging a rocking Horse

Getting nowhere

We are a pair to behold

You like a funeral me like a fair

Nobody cares for the show



These days the rapids may drag us from here

And I do not care where we go

And you say that love is what we are my dear

But I just pretend not to know



If it's the be all and end all

Then come on now love lets make a start

When love calls then it's time to play ball

But starting's the easiest part



Counting my blessings like stars in the sky

The sleep walking moon watching on

And she's seen how lovers before us have tried

My darling lets not get it wrong



If it's the be all and end all

Then come on now love lets make a start

When love calls how sudden the fall

But fallings the easiest part



I've had love come to nothing before

But it's alright it's alright

I've welcomed it in

And I've shown it the door

But it's alright it's alright
