Testo Sealion - Martin Barre
Testo della canzone Sealion (Martin Barre), tratta dall'album Live At The Wildey
Over the mountains and under the sky
Riding dirty grey horses go you and I
Meeting with chance, copulating with mirth
The sad-glad famous, for what it's worth
The ice-cream carts are celebrated
The supermarketeers are on parade
There's a golden handshake hanging round your neck
As you light your cigarettes on the burning deck
And you balance the world on the tip of your nose
Like a sea-lion with a ball at the carnival
You wear a shiny skin and a funny hat
Your mighty animal trainer lets it go at that
You bark ever so slightly at the trainer's gun
With your whiskers melting in the noonday sun
You flippin' your flop under the big white top
Where the long-legged ringmaster starts and stops
But you know after all the act is wearing thin
As the crowd grow uneasy and the boos begin
And you balance the world on the tip of your nose
You're a sea-lion with a ball at the carnival
Just a trace of pride upon our vixen grins
For there is no business like this show we're in
There is no reason, no rhyme, no right
To leave the circus 'til we've said goodnight
The same performance in the same old way
It's the same old story to this passion play
So we'll shoot the moon in ultra-colour too
And make no new cushion of this big balloon
Look how we balance the world on the tips of our noses
Like sea-lions with a ball at the carnival
