Fool S Overture lyrics

Roger Hodgson & Rick Davies
------------------------------------------------------------------------------

History recalls how great the fall can be
While everybody`s sleeping, the boats put out to sea
Borne on the wings of time
It seemed the answers were so easy to find
`To late,` the prophets (profits) cry
The island`s sinking, let`s take to the sky

Called the man a fool, striped him of his pride
Everyone was laughing up until the day he died
And though the wound went deep
Still he`s calling us out of our sleep
My friends, we`re not alone
He waits in silence to lead us all home

So tell me that you find it hard to grow
Well I know, I know, I know
And you tell me that you`ve many seeds to sow
Well I know, I know, I know

Can you hear what I`m saying
Can yuu see the parts that I`m playing
`Holy Man, Rocker Man, Come on Queenie,
Joker Man, Spider Man, Blue Eyed Meanie`
So you found your solution
What will be your last contribution?
`Live it up, rip it up, why so lazy?
Give it out, dish it out, let`s go crazy,
Yeah
