Remember wise old
Solomon, recall his history.
He was the wisest
man on earth,
and so he cursed the day of his birth.
He knew that all is vanity.
So not much
fun had
Solomon.
But most of us might agree we're
not much better off than he.
His brains, it was that put him on the spot.
Now I thought that
brains were good.
Guess not.
Remember
Cleopatra fair, recall her destiny.
Her glamour put men in her grasp.
But one day she re
clined on her asp.
It bit her, she died in agony
Without one friend
She sensed her end
And girls who were unfair at all
Left to see
Cleopatra's fall
Her very glamour put her on the spot
Now I thought that
glamour paid off
Guess not.
Into the fire has
Alma
Keith
Lept from the frying pan
While he was tough
and used his sense
He remained the pride of
Swinland fence
Was every chippie's
promised man
Then the poor dope
went soft as soap
Forgot the things that he had won
He trusted us and was undone
His melt ing heart
he put him on the spot
I was thinking about reform ing,
guess not.
You know that hound for answers brecht,
you've sung his praise about.
He kept ask ing you with no respect,
from where to the rich their riches collect.
until you had to throw him out.
What a nagging one was my
mother's son.
And look, before the day was done,
the world could see what followed on.
He's thirst to know, I put him on the spot.
Ah, to be the eternal student?
Guess not!
