rupert holmes - both sides of the coin lyrics

Loading...

[jasper]
i am not myself these days – for all i
know i might be you
there’s more than room enough for two inside my mind

[sapsea]
i am likewise in a haze of who i am from
scene to scene;
what’s more we two, (we four, i mean)
are in a bind!

[jasper]
for is it i or is it me?

[sapsea]
and if i’m him and if i’m he, each on of us might not
agree on what to do

[jasper]
and if i take opposing sides within myself
then who divides up what is right or wrong?

[sapsea]
i’ll go along with you

[both]
ha’penny, one penny, tupenny, thrupenny
twelve to a shilling, twice that to a florin
and would you not fancy the currency foreign
to find the same face on both sides of the coin?
bob is your uncle from pennies to guineas
the two-sided mint is the rule, not exception
and would you not quite feel quite the fool of deception
to find the same face on both sides of the coin?

[sapsea]
odds or evens, it’s high or low
it’s up or down or night

[jasper]
heads or tails, or black and white
or left and right or day!

[sapsea]
nature seldom ever fails to most obligingly provide
an undisclosed opposing side to one’s dismay

[jasper]
there’s shadows on this shining morn

[sapsea]
if there’s a rose it bears a thorn

[jasper]
you’re as good as dead as soon as born

[both]
and yet we smile!

[sapsea]
but luck’s division is perverse

[jasper]
it seems to work more in reverse

[sapsea]
if things are better, they’ll be worse in just a while!

(repeat chorus)
