Strawbs - Heavy Disguise lyrics

rate me

Crowded afternoon and there's not enough room in the city today<br />

The people assembled to hear what resembled evangelists say<br />

Some came just to see them for a laugh<br />

Others to be free<br />

Fools must pretend to be wise<br />

We've a faith that we use as a heavy disguise.<br />

<br />

Tears from the crowd with men crying aloud or just ringing their hands<br />

The love in their hearts at this joining of people from far away lands<br />

I'd so many questions I could ask<br />

I wanted to be free<br />

Fools must pretend to be wise<br />

We've a faith that we use as a heavy disguise.<br />

<br />

Cheers from the crowd for a much-loved constituent lately arrived<br />

Here's to the soul of the man who takes toll for just staying alive<br />

Can't ignore the feeling in the air<br />

Glad that I was there<br />

Fools must pretend to be wise<br />

We've a faith that we use as a heavy disguise.<br />

<br />

Evening drew on with a change of opinion from left wing and right<br />

And North accused South who were left little doubt that they needed to fight<br />

I cannot begin to understand<br />

The suffering tonight<br />

Fools must pretend to be wise<br />

We've a faith that we use as a heavy disguise.
