Happy the man - he lives a simple life
He doesn?t have much - it doesn?t worry him Where you go - where? Yeah, yeah, yeah, nowhere Like a nun with a gun - I?m wonderful fun Laughing all through - just watching you Seems a very stupid game... But I don?t care Happy the man - he doesn?t buzz around Nothing he wants - any more than anything Where you go - where? Yeah, yeah, yeah, nowhere Like a fool in the pool - I?m incredibly cool With a grin on my chin - I?m certain to win Someone says he?s jesus christ - but I don?t care He is a good man... |

I heard the old man tell his tale:
Tinker, alone within a storm, And losing hope he clears the leaves beneath a tree, Seven stones Lay on the ground. Within the seventh house a friend was found. And the changes of no consequence will pick up the reins from nowhere. Sailors, in peril on the sea, Amongst the waves a rock looms nearer, not yet seen, They see a gull Flying by. The Captain turns the boat and he asks not why. And the changes of no consequence will pick up the reins from nowhere. Despair that tires the world, brings the old man laughter, The laughter of the world only grieves him, Believe him, The old man's guide is chance. I heard the old man tell his tale: Farmer, who knows not when to sow, Consults the old man clutching money in his hand, And with a shrug, The old man smiled, Took the money, left the farmer wild. And the changes of no consequence will pick up the reins from nowhere. Despair that tires the world, brings the old man laughter, The laughter of the world only grieves him, Believe him, The old man's guide is chance. |
