PlayFool

We've had requests for the lyrics to 'Fool' by the messyheads, so here they are

Fool

You know how to destroy a man,
take his life in your hands and squeeze it dry
leaving him nothing but a faded memory
If he’s scatterbrained, odd, maybe a little peculiar
eaten up by the failure of a fool’s labor
Don’t beat it up ‘cos it’s something you don’t understand
Lost my wits on a wild goose chase
Came to my senses going off my head

Yeah I’m a fool - manic, wasted
A figure of fun - unhinged, raving
Hey takes one to know one
but I’ll play the fool for you

Sworn to make life a party and just for no reason
It’s a second childhood - it’s always that season
Call it a madhouse, whatever drives dull care away
I’ll come across your face still in the same old places
There stamped on your hand - last night’s fun and it trace
the same old song and dance that never regenerates
I’ll blow it all on some crackpot scheme
The debauch and friend are wide awake and at it again

Yeah I’m a fool - manic, wasted
A figure of fun - unhinged, raving
Hey takes one to know one
but I’ll play the fool for you
The madcap laughs in deranged blis
in his fool’s paradise, his arrangement
Certifiably yours, ok, I’l play the fool for you

I’ll send me out of my mind into a moonstruck haze
You think my carry-on the butt of common jest
And you, a travesty of a mockery of a sham

Yeah I’m a fool - manic, wasted
A figure of fun - unhinged, raving
Hey takes one to know one
but I’ll play the fool for you
The madcap laughs in deranged blis
in his fool’s paradise, his arrangement
Certifiably yours, ok, I’l play the fool for you
