lyrics

So here you are again, Come to tell me how
Your life's falling apart, How love really broke your heart

So here you are again, Come to tell me how
You moved on and now you're strong, And you're feeling this can't be wrong

I'm just at sixes and sevens to you
But I'll set the world at sixes and sevens without you

So here you are again, Just another five faces
More stories of conquest, Boys in the spotlight sandpit

I'm just at sixes and sevens to you
But I'll set the world at sixes and sevens without you

Don't be fooled, this isn't maturity
A Greek three thousand years ago
already told your tale
The trail you're blazing, it's already ash
Four chords now tired and old
With five, six and seven on your bill of sale

So here you are again, Come to pretend to me
That you can make that guitar sing, But can you make it do this

The explorer treads a new path
To a pantomime of dreams
Hurry on down the road
To the trio and the affirmative
Count carefully or you'll never reach
The five and six of words beginning
If you can't choose the red or melody
Who will save you from mediocrity

I'll always be at sixes and sevens to you
But I'll set the world at sixes and sevens without you

You tap the mike and count to four
Might as well stop there, I've heard it all before

This guy... I'd say he's a modern Todd Rundgren, but apparently Todd Rundgren is a modern Todd Rundgren, so let's just call John Bassett a Prog-igy. The CD bundle=absolute value; I enjoy it every day. Thank you, John! A
