Moving the River - Prefab Sprout

You surely are a truly gifted kid

But you’re only good as The last great thing you did

And where’ve you been since then

Did the schedule get you down

I hear you’ve got a new girlfriend

How’s the wife taking it?

If it’s uphill all the way you should be used to it by now

You must know me, father it’s your son

And i know that you are proud of everything i’ve done

But it’s the wonders i perform,

Pulling rabbits out of hats

When sometimes i’d prefer

Simply to wear them

If it’s uphill all the way you should be used to it and say

My back is broad enough sir to take the strain and it’s

Hello mother, it’s your son and aren’t you proud, of all i’ve done

But i’m turkey hungry, i’m chicken free, and i can’t breakdance on your knee

But it’s «stay right there son, baby do», while i is itchin’for something new

So watch me hawkeye and understand the force of will, the sleight of hand

Movin’the river, i’m turkey hungry, i’m chicken free and i can’t breakdance on your knee

Movin’the river, bucket by spoon, and do you think that they’ll like me when

they learn what i o Movin’the river, money for jam, and it takes such an effort to stay where i am.
