| Lyrics: | I used to play the trumpet once but now I play guitar
Somebody told you it's more
mellow.
Well I've played a lot of music since but I really haven't grown that far
Somebody
said that you're just yellow.
So I keep it up on the shelf
And it's funny how you keep
it all to yourself
Hey honey, could there ever be,
Should there ever be,
Could there
ever be something else?
You know I used to swing my silver sword, the dragons hit the
ground
Whatever happened to the maidens?
Well I'd swing my silver sword again and they would
all fall down
Would you leave them lying there where you had laid them?
And I used to
have a country once, where it's gone I do not know.
Where do you think you might have lost
it?
I used to raise the flag at dawn, but that was very long ago
Maybe you can find it where
you tossed it.
Well I tossed it up on the shelf
And it's funny how you've kept it all
for yourself
Hey honey, could there ever be,
Should there ever be,
Could there ever be
something else?
I used to say my prayers boys, I used to sing the hymns
Even the echo's
disappearing.
They've broken the stained windows, the cathedral's getting dim.
Then what is
this dirge that we are hearing?
Well it comes from up on the shelf
And it's funny how
you sing it only for yourself
Hey honey, could there ever be,
Should there ever
be,
Could there ever be something else?
Well, I used to have a lover once, I used to
have a friend
How in the hell you ever find one?
My song is almost over now, my story's at
an end
You lived yourself a good life but a blind one.
Well I've hidden there up on the
shelf
And it's funny how you've kept it al |
