Procol Harum - The Idol lyrics

rate me

1d

Oh the idol, oh the idol

5

28

They knew the monster's every trick

27

They knew his secrets every stitch

1e

All of it had been a game

1c

Nothing but a charlatan

31

Perhaps there was a chance of coming through

2e

It even seemed that he might think it too

2b

But he could see no point in diving in

30

He knew that he would neither sink nor swim

5

2f

And so they found he'd nothing left to say

25

Just another idol turned to clay

5

2e

It seemed to them he must know what to do

33

They knew that only he could pull them through

2b

They thought that he would make a plan

26

He'd work it out, he'd understand

33

Like drowning men they clutched at every straw

30

They knew that he had saved them all before

2b

But he could see no point in diving in

30

He knew that he would neither sink nor swim
