Showbiz - Gilbert O'Sullivan

Well here we are and here we go

Up the hill and down the slope

Pardon me if I seem out of breath

Bus was late so I walked instead

There’s nobody quite like me

Isn’t that Presumably

What it is they say you’re looking for

Ballad singer with a guitar

Okay so guitar was the part I got wrong

The rest of me surely is what you want

Wait a minute who is this

He needs a psychiatrist

Either that or I do give me strength

(Would do If I knew the way it went)

You say you sing slow songs and fast numbers too

Do you know Volare

(Is that her next to you)

I’m running round in circles

I’m getting so forlorn

Whatever so forlorn’s supposed to mean

I’m sick of good intentions

Whatever their intent on being

Who’s responsibility lies in sending him to me

Tell me and I’ll tear them limb from limb

I said Matt Monro not Gunga Din

Our members will see him and eat him alive

No two ways about it

Or three or four or five

One day you’ll see I’ll he enormous

(Then here’s a tip lay off your fookin)

They’ll say of me and my performance

It’s was superb (don't make me laugh)

The best we’ve heard (you must he daft)

False modesty is not for me

The way to skin a rabbit the way to comb a hare

I know which one of those I’d rather heed

As I’m sure would the rabbit

Who only wants to live and breed I write each and all my songs

Always have done all along

So if you want «My Way» I can do

Every song in my way just for you

Has it occurred to you that I might not be well

I’ve got a heart that needs a bypass I can tell

So here we are together then

You and me the best of friends

(Best of friends you must be off your head)

How about employer then instead

We have to work closely and mostly we do

We’re at opposite ends of

An industry without any smoke

It’s boiler being only fired by hope

It is Showbiz
