The Mind Boggles

(album: Gilbert O'Sullivan - 2018)

Hard not to know when I know what I'm seeing
The mind boggles
Cars on the road, no driver is needing
The mind boggles

Two out of three isn't quite as bad as
One out of four making me as mad as
I always get when the ball's in the net
Yet through my [?] it's been

No man's an island, thank God for that
Imagine that where, you just have to laugh
Women at night on the island of their dreams

Watching repeats of repeats, they're repeating
The mind boggles
Where's the surprise, have you seen what you're seeing
The mind boggles
Show me a world where the people on it
Don't live in fear someone here will bomb it
Don't set aside that this isn't for those
Looked upon as poor

Show me a film where the violence doesn't
Glorify scenes you would think it mustn't
And yet we will for the thrill, cry out for more, more

More!

The mind boggles
The mind boggles

Watching a team that you know won't deliver
The mind boggles
How can they not stop the rut getting bigger
The mind boggles

A nation that thrives on its independence
We'll have our leader to represent them
Take in the values we all respect, do they have at all?
Not one of these things is God almighty
Being abusive and only slightly
Doing for us what we must while on His throne

Stretching a face so you look even younger
The mind boggles
Eyes you can now barely see out from under
The mind boggles
Now when it comes down to what you are thinking
The mind boggles
Sat in a boat that you know could be sinking
The mind boggles

Watching a show that you know is a bummer
The mind boggles
How could they not know what'd be a runner?
The mind boggles
Where there's a will, let Him know, He delivers
The mind boggles
Burning them up as a world [?] quicker
The mind boggles
