As I was walking round Grosvenor Square
Not a chill to the winter
But a nip to the air
From the other direction
She was calling my eye
It could be an illusion
But I might as well try
Might as well try
She had rings on her fingers
And bells on her shoes
And I knew without asking
She was into the blues
She wore scarlet begonias
Tucked into her curls
I knew right away
She was not like other girls
Other girls
In the heat of the evening
When the dеaling got rough
She was too pat to open
And too cool to bluff
I picked up my matchеs
And was closing the door
I had one of those flashes
Id been there before
Been there before
I aint often right
But Ive never been wrong
It seldom turns out the way
It does in the song
Once in a while
You can get shown the light
In the strangest of places
If you look at it right
There aint nothing wrong
With the way she moves
Or scarlet begonias
Or a touch of the blues
Theres nothing wrong with
The look thats in her eye
I had to learn the hard way
To let her pass by
Let her pass by
The wind in the willows played tea for two
The sky was yellow and the sun was blue
Strangers stopping strangers
Just to shake their hand
Everybodys playing
In the Heart of Gold Band
Heart of Gold Band
Must be getting early
Clocks are running late
Paint by number morning sky looks so phony
Dawn is breaking everywhere
Light a candle, curse the glare
Draw the curtains, I dont care but its alright
I will get by
I will get by
I will get by
I will survive
I see youve got your fist out
Say your piece and get out
Yes, I get the gist of it, but its alright
Well, I have to say
Not really much at play
Every silver linings got a touch of grey
I will get by
I will get by
I will get by
I will survive
Its a lesson to me
The Ables and the Bakers and the Cs
The ABCs we all must face
Try to keep a little grace
Its a lesson to me
The Deltas and the East and the Freeze
The ABCs we all think of
Could try to keep a little love
I know the rent is in arrears
The dog has not been fed in years
Its even worse than it appears, but its alright
Cow is given kerosene
Kid cant read at seventeen
The words he knows are all obscene, but its alright
I will get by
I will get by
I will get by
I will survive
The shoe is on the hand it fits
Theres really nothing much to it
Whistle through your teeth and spit, cause its alright
Oh, well, a touch of grey, kind of suits you anyway
Thats all I really had to say, and its alright
I will get by
I will get by
I will get by
I will survive
We will get by
We will get by
We will get by
We will survive
We will get by
We will get by
We will get by
We will survive
Long distance runner, what you standin there for?
Get up, get on, get out of the door
Playing cold music on the barroom floor
Drowned in your laughter and dead to the core
Theres a dragon with matches thats loose on the town
Take a whole pail of water just to cool him down
Fire! Fire on the mountain!
Fire! Fire on the mountain!
Fire! Fire on the mountain!
Fire! Fire on the mountain!
Almost ablaze, still you dont feel the heat
It takes all you got just to stay on the beat
You say its a livin, we all gotta eat
But youre here alone, theres no one to compete
If Mercys in business, I wish it for you
More than just ashes when your dreams come true
Fire! Fire on the mountain!
Fire! Fire on the mountain!
Fire! Fire on the mountain!
Fire! Fire on the mountain!
Long distance runner, what you holdin out for?
Caught in slow motion in a fall to the floor
The fire from the stage has spread to the floor
You gave all you had, why you wanna give more?
The more that you give, the more it will take
To that thin line beyond which you really cant fake
Fire! Fire on the mountain!
Fire! Fire on the mountain!
Fire! Fire on the mountain!
Fire! Fire on the mountain!
Fire! Fire on the mountain!
Fire! Fire on the mountain!
 Fire! Fire on the mountain!
Fire!
