What's that in your eye?
well that's the downside
when you soak up somebody else's tears
to cry them out yourself
and drown in sorrow
But you know there'll be another day
when we might find some way
of making our lives
a bit more fantastic
after the downside
What lurks in the corner of the room?
In the dust and dinge and gloom
and empty bottles of booze
nothing's happening inside my mind
well that's the downside
But the spirit of yesterday might rise
when imagination flies
we'll make these four walls
seem a bit more fantastic
we're escaping the downside
Seen the flower girl
today on the grass
I get shivers and my
heart beats fast
I would love love to hold you
give a weary soul its rest
and I could lay my head down down down
pillowed on your breast
What's that in your eye?
Another rolling tear of the downside
But you know there'll be another day...
