[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
