lyrics

The local fool sits on his stool
A purple wine glass in his hand
He sits alone and reads the papers
With a sadness on his face

He takes the words right off the page
And turns them round inside his head
They talk of change and progress
His thoughts on which are better left unsaid

Now and then he breaks a smile
Lifts his glass up to the sky
He shuts his eyes and he cries
It’s you and me against this modern world my friend

The local fool resists it all
A stuborn rock in changing times
He sips and sighs and cries
While the world keeps spinning on and on and on

I sit and watch him sip his wine
A troubled soul in changing times
And then I catch his eye
Two stubborn rocks this local fool and I

Now and then he breaks a smile
Lifts his glass up to the sky
He shuts his eyes and he cries
It’s you and me against this modern world my friend
