To the naked eye ( original)

Original song (c) Brian Hardman 2010

The centre of the universe
Could be better could be worse
Between the pillar and the post
Lay the law or lay the ghost
Man that shadow loved the chase
Never got to see its face
Would 'a said it tried to do it
Overtaken beaten to it
Shake the world until it rocks
Take it easy with the shocks
How'd you like em short or sharp
Through the head or through the heart
Live and love or live a lie
Hidden to the naked eye
Squeaky clean interpretation
Thats a different motivation
Overhead or underhand
Counterfeit or contraband
The unkindest cut of all
When it's someone else's call
Heard the self appointed judge
Held on to long to that grudge
Got their self a dead mans pinch
Took a yard and gave an inch
Think its easy well its not
Both feet firsts a cure for what
Live and love or live a lie
Hidden to the naked eye
Never had the Midas touch




Didn't need to count so much
But I count the hours in between
Count my blessings don't I mean
Could do better someone said
All depends on how you're fed
See the corners of your mouth
They don't suit you pointing south
Pucker up and see what comes
Never will survive on crumbs
Not as if you didn't try
Hidden to the naked eye
The centre of the universe
Unexpected unrehearsed
Living with what knocks you dead
Just be careful where you tread
Easier to turn it round
Where the feet don't touch the ground
Be prepared to be amazed
Clearer when its double glazed
Saw what makes the world go round
Looking through the lost and found
Found the perfect alibi
