sam the sham and the pharaohs - i passed it by lyrics

[verse 1]
i saw a rock in the street, and i wanted to take it home
by i let it lie and passed it by, and i walked on
that rock could have been a fortune or just a worthless stone
i’ll never know ’cause i didn’t take it home

[chorus]
i walked on and let the world go by
and i never felt sorry or took the time to cry

[verse 2]
i saw a letter in the street, it didn’t interest me
so, i let it fly and passed it by, i didn’t even stop to see
it could have been from my mother, a message from a friend
i’ll never know ‘causе i never looked within

[chorus]
i had no feeling for lifе, and so i lived
but people simply did just what they did

[verse 3]
i saw a man in an alley, he looked a lot like me
i thought i’d die but i passed him by, didn’t even want to see
what i’d look like in years to come in an alley far from home
i couldn’t believe that this could happen to me
[chorus]
i walked on and let the world go by
and i never felt sorry ’cause i was in my time
’til i saw in an alley where my future lay
and i’ve been tryin’ to get home since that day

[outro]
i was real hip
now, i’m in oblivion
my kaleidoscope is gone
i’m standing in a stupor
and having fun
