Little fish, great big pond
Little patch, don't look beyond
World is reeling, waving wands
Are they mistaken?
Little somewhere to rest my head
When it's gone, South Road ahead
What are they taking?
Weird wonders every brow
Old crow laughing, wake of plough
Hypertensions, holy rows
My sides are aching
There's a train stuck in a far out station
Nothing doing, ain't moving along
Little somewhere to rest my head
When it's gone, South Road ahead
What are they taking?
Had the feeling it should be more
Than it is, well don't get sore
It's all our making, all we've done
As it is, as it was before
People sigh and people weep
Break backs on one-way streets
Cream elite, how do they sleep?
All their hip shaking
There's a train stuck in a far out station
Nothing doing, ain't moving along
Little somewhere to rest my head
When it's gone, South Road ahead
Can't help feeling a twinge of dread
What are they taking?
