I've Seen The Film, I've Read The Book

(album: Sky High - 1975)

Ooh la la la la la
Ooh la la la la la

See the way of the world today
Don't know which way to turn
Hasn't time to listen
Hasn't time to learn

Doesn't know which way to go
And even though the light
Burns a little brighter
We stumble through the night

That's how it is and how it stays
Nothing on Earth can change our ways

I've seen the film, I've read the book
The story's still the same
Step inside and take a look
Nobody is to blame

The script is bad, the girl gets had
The hero makes you cry
I've see the film, I've read the book
Can't change it how much you try

Ooh la la la la la
Ooh la la la la la

That's the way it is today
Each time you play with me
I'm the lonely hero
After sympathy

From the start, I play the part
My heart gets broke, my friend
I can see it coming
'Cause I know the end

That's how it is and how it stays
Nothing on Earth can change our ways

I've seen the film, I've read the book
The story's still the same
Step inside and take a look
Nobody is to blame

The script is bad, the girl gets had
The hero makes you cry
I've see the film, I've read the book
Can't change it how much you try

Ooh la la la la la
Ooh la la la la la

I've seen the film, I've read the book
The story's still the same
Step inside and take a look
Nobody is to blame

I've seen the film, I've read the book
The story's still the same
Step inside and take a look
Nobody is to blame

I've seen the film, I've read the book
The story's still the same
Step inside and take a look
Nobody
