Peter Sarstedt - As Though It Were a Movie

He lived his life as though it was a movie
Humphrey Bogart was his god
He'd become the book that he was reading
He locked his mind in fantasy

~~~♫♫♫~~~

He lived his life as though it was a movie
Humphrey Bogart was his god
He'd become the book that he was reading
He locked his mind in fantasy

But he never complained when it started to rain
He just waited for the pennies from heaven
He would hold out his hand in a, gesture so grand
Everybody wondered what he's been given
Yes they did

To live his life and dream was all he wanted
And his name was Solitaire, yeah
He never felt one of the crowded nation
And if he's insane, what am I

Wander down a corridor
Carpeted from wall to wall
Jump into a swimming pool
And watch your mind swim

Living is a tragedy
Though it doesn't mean to be
Whaddya think your mother is
And what is she for, heh

He lived his life as though it was a movie
Humphrey Bogart was his god
He'd become every book that he was a reading
Locked his mind in fantasy, yes, yes
