Lifesize

Enter the hero like a, like a beached whale
Five sovereign fingers tapping, tip, tap, tip tap, tip tap, tappin'
It's like he knows something you don't
Talk like a salesman, walks like the Pope

"Clap" said the chairman, "clapping is traditional"
"Stand up to the air"

He's got a birth right, a magnet electrified
It was lifesize, lifesize

Well knock me down right where I stand
Knock me down and pick me up again
Red and black and beige and brown
Comin', comin', comin', comin', comin' round

I marvel at a fist and a man of stone
Well flags of many colours on a straight, straight road
Past the abbey, past the carnival, past the parliament square
Five sovereign fingers tapping, combing his hair

It's like he knows something you don't
He walks like a salesman, talks like the Pope

He's got a birth right, a magnet electrified
It is lifesize, lifesize
Lifesize, lifesize

Justice is cruelty in another language
And wisdom is fear

"Clap" said the chairman, "clapping is traditional"

He's got a birth right, a magnet electrified
It is lifesize, lifesize
Lifesized

He's got a birth right, a magnet electrified
It is lifesize, lifesize
It was lifesize, lifesize
