Paroles de X - ray

Don't be fooled by appearances,
It only shows what the world already knows
Don't rely on the physical evidence
Of what the x-ray pictures show
Because inside every straight upright citizen a tormented
Emotionally impaired psycologically damaged personality resides
And beside every crooked man stands an angel with wings
And the spirit can do truly wonderous things

As i watch the hump-backed man hobble down the high street
I say a silent prayer for myself
I was taken to the local doctor
For a consultation about my physical health
I heard him ask about my family - history
"you see, mrs. davies, it might be hereditary. yes it might"
Maybe think about my family, 'cause socially could be
"you were a physical deformity"

'cos the world only sees what it believes and is revealed in the x-ray
It only knows what it knows, photographs, video and the printed word
Yes/but there is more in this heaven on earth
Than (what)/(what those scientists now and) is revealed on/in the x-ray

Ev'ry morning i got up and looked in the mirror to see if the hump had
Appeared on my back. to my disappointment i was not a freak.
You see, maybe there'd be side benefits to become in a cripple,
Side benefits like prioroty seating at football matches. and i thought
"if i'm gonna be a cripple, i'll go all the way"

They could photograph reality,
But they can't picture your fantasy
'cos the world only sees what it believes and is revealed in the x-ray
It only knows what it knows, photographs, video and the printed word
Yes/but there is more in this heaven on earth
Than (what)/(what those scientists now and) is revealed on/in the x-ray

'cos the world only sees what it believes and is revealed in the x-ray
It only knows what it knows, photographs, video and the printed word
Yes/but there is more in this heaven on earth
Than (what)/(what those scientists now and) is revealed on/in the x-ray
