Is It Any Wonder?

(album: Nuovo Mondo - 1982)

Oh, is it any wonder
Why it never seems to matter?

I make walls from words to surround me
Wait then watch in silence as they fall

Oh, is it any wonder
Why it never leads to laughter?

It all began with such great expectations
Habit is a force you can't deny
There's no time to start again, all over
You just hope for the best
Turn me round, lift me up, push me down
Dash my hopes to the ground

Oh, is it any wonder?
Is it any wonder?

The second time, I you knew that I'd do better
I thought this fool had made his last mistake
But it ended up the same again, all over
You just hope for the best
Turn me round, lift me up, push me down
Dash my hopes to the ground

Oh, is it any wonder?
Is it any wonder?
Is it any wonder?
Oh, is it any wonder?
Oh, oh, is it any wonder?
