The Stranglers - It's a Small World

Many roads to travel down and there are
Many suprises to find
But as luck will have it you can stumble
In the valley of the blind
Friends will always tell you fate will rear
Its ugly head to frighten you
But the hands of time hold something and
He's offering it all to you.

Watch out for a suprise
It's nature's biggest prize
And if it comforts you discover
It's a small world too.

Read your books and study hard to find the kick
That makes you carry on
And if luck's a kind friend she will show you
How and why it all began.

Just look in the backyard
You won't have to look hard
The crossword's final clue discover
It's a small world too.

When your friends are gathered round
And you draw straws to find out who goes first
Climb the wall out of the pleasure garden
See a flower die of thirst

A circle's always round
The truth lies underground
You may just join the few discover
It's a small world too
