Flogging a rocking Horse

Getting nowhere

D Em

We are a pair to behold

You like a funeral me like a fair

A D

Nobody cares for the show

[Verse]

These days the rapids may drag us from here

D Em

And I do not care where we go

And you say that love is what we are my dear

A D

But I just pretend not to know

[Chorus]

If it's the be all and end all

Then come on now love lets make a start

Em A

When love calls then it's time to play ball

A D

But starting's the easiest part

[Verse]

Counting my blessings like stars in the sky

D Em

Sleep walking moon watching on

And she's seen how lovers before us have tried

A D

My darling lets not get it wrong

[Chorus]

If it's the be all and end all

Then come on now love lets make a start

Em A

When love calls how sudden the fall

A D

But fallings the easiest part

I've had love come to nothing before

But it's all right, it's all right

I've welcomed them in and I've shown them the door
