Texty: Prefab Sprout. Moving The River.

You surely are a truly gifted kid
But you're only as good as
The last great thing you did
And where've you been since then?
Did the schedule get you down?

I hear you've got a new girlfriend
How's the wife taking it ?
If it's uphill all the way
You should be used to it by now

You must know me, father it's your son
And I know that you are proud
Of everything I've done
But it's the wonders I perform
Pulling rabbits out of hats
When sometimes I'd prefer

Simply to wear them
If it's uphill all the way
You should be used to it and say
My back is broad enough sir
To take the strain and it's

Hello mother, it's your son
And aren't you proud, of all I've done?
But I'm turkey hungry, I'm chicken free
And I can't break dance on your knee

But it's stay right there son, baby do
While eye is itchin' for something new
So watch me hawkeye understand
The force of will, the sleight of hand

Movin' the river
I'm turkey hungry, I'm chicken free
And I can't break dance on your knee
Movin' the river

Bucket by spoon, and do you think
That they'll like me when they learn what I do
Movin' the river
Money for jam
But it takes such an effort to stay where I am

But it's stay right there son, baby do
While eye is itchin' for something new
Watch me hawkeye understand
The force of will, the sleight of hand

Movin' the river
I'm turkey hungry, I'm chicken free
Movin' the river
And I can't break dance on your knee
Movin' the river

Movin' the river
Movin' the river
Movin' the river
