No Good Trying

(album: The Madcap Laughs - 1970)

It's no good trying to place your hand
Where I can't see, because I understand
That you're different from me
Yes, I can tell that you can't be what you pretend
And you're rocking me backwards and you're rocking towards
The red and yellow mane of a stallion horse

It's no good trying to place your hand
Where I can't see, because I understand
That you're different from me
Yes, I can tell that you can't be what you pretend
The caterpillar hood won't cover the head of you
Know you should be home in bed

It's no good holding your sequin fan
Where I can't see, because I understand
That you're different from me
Yes, I can tell that you can't be what you pretend
Yes, you're spinning around and around in a car
With electric lights flashing very fast
