The Big Curve

[Verse 1] Well, this could be The first day of the rest of your life But I was mystified By the images on the screen Well, this could be The first day of the rest of your life, you tell yourself But I was amused At the thoughts of my ancestors Well, it could've been me But my number had just come up At exactly, exactly the right time And the view from the floor was Was of the fields and of the trees And you convinced yourself it was the end of the thing The books on my shеlf The books on my shelf And they wеre telling me Well they were telling me They were telling me otherwise [Pre-Chorus] Upwards and upwards Forwards and upwards Upwards in cycles Cycling forward [Chorus] Where do you sit on the big curve? Where do you sit on the big curve? Where do you sit on the big curve? Where do you sit on the great, big curve? [Verse 2] You see, I make fire, too Except quicker Tell, tell Tell me who had it better, the dinosaur or the vicar Both pretty good, I hear Well I was, I was too busy looking forwards And there was no-one, there was no-one looking back at me Well I, I realised too late I was too busy looking forwards And there was no-one looking back at me Many are called and few get up Many are called and few get up "Time washes over us" Said the man in the big suit [Pre-Chorus] Upwards and upwards Upwards and forwards Forwards in cycles Cycling forward [Chorus] Where do you sit on the big curve? Where do you sit on the big curve? Where do you sit on the big curve? Where do you sit? [Outro] Ha, ha, ha, ha Oh, it was hysterical Ha-ha-ha-ha, ha, ha, ha Oh so, so funny Ha, ha, ha-ha-ha Oh, it was, it was hysterical Ha, ha, ha-ha-ha, ha It was, it was so, so funny It was funny what they used to think Back in the old days, with their King James Bible And the Gutenberg press And everyone saying everything they ever felt All the time
