Verse 1
Like father like son
Not flesh nor fish nor bone
A red rag hangs from an open mouth
Alive at both ends but a little dead in the middle
A-tumbling and a-bumbling he will go
All the kings horses and all the kings men
Could never put a smile on that face
Verse 2
He’s a sly one, he's a shy one
Wouldn’t you be too
Scared to be left all on his own
Hasn't a, hasn't a friend to play with, the ugly duckling
The pressure on, the bubble will burst before our eyes
All the while in perfect time
His tears are falling on the ground
But if you don't stand up you don't stand a chance
Interlude

You don’t stand a chance 5/4
Am/D Dm7 |
Go a little faster now
Bb/D Gm/D | Dm7add11 Dm7 |
You might get there in time (break)
Middle 8
Mirror, mirror on the wall
His heart was broken long before he ever came to you
Stop your tears from falling
The trail they leave is very clear for all to see at night
Am7 [ D ]
All to see at night
Interlude
| D E/D D7 | D G/D | D A/D | G/D |
(... at night)
| D E/D D7 | D G/D | D A/D | G/D |
They don’t have eyes
Verse 3
In season, out of season
What's the difference when you don't know the reason
In one hand bread, the other a stone
The hunter enters the forest
All are not huntsmen who can blow the huntsman’s horn
By the look of this one you’ve not got much to fear
Verse 4
Here I am, I'm very fierce and frightening
Come to match my skill to yours
Now listen here, listen to me, don't you run away now
I am a friend; I'd really like to play with you
Making noises my little furry friend would make
I’ll trick him, then I'll kick him into my sack
A [ D ]
You better watch out ... You better watch out
Interlude
| D E/D D7 | D G/D | D A/D | G/D |

5/4
Am/D Dm7 |
I've got you, I've got you
Bb/D Gm/D | Dm7add11 Dm7 |
You’ll never get away (break)
Middle 8
Walking home that night
The sack across my back, the sound of sobbing on my shoulder
When suddenly it stopped
I opened up the sack; all that I had: a pool of bubbles and tears
Am7 [ D ]
Just a pool of tears
Interlude
| D E/D D7 | D G/D | D A/D | G/D |
(... of tears)
| D E/D D7 | D G/D | D A/D | G/D A/D |
Just a pool of tears
Coda
All in all you are a very dying race
Placing trust upon a cruel world
You never had the things you thought you should have had
And you'll not get them now
And all the while in perfect time
Your tears are falling on the ground
