Both Sides of the Coin (feat. Will Chase, Jim Norton)
I am not myself these days - for all I know I might be you. There's more than room enough for two inside my mind. I am likewise in a haze of who I am from scene to scene; What's more we two, (we four, I mean) are in a bind! For is it I or is it me? And if I'm him and if I'm he, each on of us might not Agree on what to do. And if I take opposing sides within myself, Then who divides up what is right or wrong? I'll go along with you. Ha'penny, one penny, tupenny, thrupenny Twelve to a shilling, twice that to a florin And would you not fancy the currency foreign To find the same face on both sides of the coin? Bob is your uncle from pennies to guineas, The two-sided mint is the rule, not exception, And would you not quite feel quite the fool of deception To find the same face on both sides of the coin? Odds or evens Heads or tails It's High or low Or black or white It's up or down Or left or right Or night or day! Nature seldom ever fails to most obligingly provide An undisclosed opposing side to one's dismay. There's shadows on this shining morn, If there's a rose it bears a thorn, You're as good as dead as soon as born, Find more lyrics at ※ Mojim.com And yet we smile! But luck's division is perverse It seems to work more in reverse If things are better, they'll be worse in just a while! Ha'penny, one penny, tupenny, thrupenny Twelve to a shilling, twice that to a florin And would you not fancy the currency foreign To find the same face on both sides of the coin? Bob is your uncle from pennies to guineas, The two-sided mint is the rule, not exception, And would you not quite feel quite the fool of deception To find the same face on both sides of the coin? Ha'penny, one penny, tupenny, thrupenny Twelve to a shilling, twice that to a florin And would you not fancy the currency foreign To find the same face on both sides of the coin? Bob is your uncle from pennies to guineas, The two-sided mint is the rule, not exception, And would you not quite feel quite the fool of deception To find the same face on both sides of the coin? -Instrumental- Ha'penny, one penny, tupenny, thrupenny Twelve to a shilling, twice that to a florin And would you not fancy the currency foreign To find the same face on both sides of the coin? Bob is your uncle from pennies to guineas, The two-sided mint is the rule, not exception, And would you not quite feel quite the fool of deception To find the same face on both sides of the coin? Both sides of the coin, hey!
