Back to The Kellaways




SHORT-SIGHTED


(Words and Music : Alf Davies)


Years ago he studied holes in the ozone
Altogether the weather wasn't fine
Whoa they said, too early for predictions
We will find solutions in good time
Now we're running out of Amazon
Sahara just keeps rolling on

Later on he wandered in the third world
Saw himself the pain and misery
Borrow here and maketh in our image
All we fashion in our industry
Now they owe so much and nothing's changed
The army still holds both the reins



My-opic, my-my-my-my my-myopic, my-opic
There's none so blind who will not see
But I am them and they are me
The problem is we can't say we, only me

Then one day he ran into a woman
Just the perfect blend a mystery
He was too slow and indecisive
She was gone before he looked to see
Hesitated, missed his line
Now he wears glasses all the time



My-opic, my-my-my-my my-myopic, my-opic
There's none so blind who will not see
Blind as bats could ever be
Myopic, I'm hoping; myopic, eyes open
Myopic, I'm hoping; myopic, eyes open
Myopic, I'm hoping; myopic, eyes open
