Meet The New Mozart - Prefab Sprout

Meet the new Mozart

He’s in the bed where commerce

Sleeps with art;

Who can blame him?

No pauper’s grave this time round

Will claim him

Only days before he died

The Salzburg wonder, prophesised;

'I know one day I will see

A less heartbreaking century.'

'I'll form a band, and play some dates

Reject the music God dictates

All I write may not last

Hell it may be manure

But I’ll endure

Not burn out fast.'

Meet the new Mozart

The comeback of the Salzburg wizard

Meet the new Mozart

He’s in the bed where commerce

Sleeps with art;

Who can blame him?

No pauper’s grave this time round

Will claim him

So much for the divine spark

It flared then left me in the dark

Next time I won’t be so pure

Dreaming big, dying poor

Next time round, not so bright

I’ll swap a molten core, a starburst for

Candlelight

Meet the new Mozart

No pauper’s grave this time round

Will claim him

Meet the new Mozart

Who can blame him?

No pauper’s grave this time round

Will claim him
