Lead Vocals:Dave Sharp
Lyrics
:
"OK This is a song called reason 41. One two three four" Well I used to wonder why that When it's black there is no white And why that when it's day There is never any night I got talking to a soldier and he tried to set things right He said, "If you want peace them you will always have to fight" Hey I went searching in the desert Where it just began to rain And I met up with this drunken bum who said he'd "lost his name" He said, "I put it in this bottle and it drifted out to sea". I said, "there is no water here" and he walked away from me So then I asked for help from a very clever man He kept looking down at his figures He was a very busy man I told him what the problem was He said, "that's sad. I'd like to help you boy but there is nothing I can add" "Guitar" Now my throat was getting dry And I was feeling kinda rough But I just kept on searching 'till that I'd had enough I came across a doctor he said, "his cure was the best" He diagnosed my troubles, but I didn't get no rest "One more time" Now I was really kind of puzzed By the things that had been said And all the people that I've mentioned started spinning round my head I gave it up for lost and it suddenly was clear The only reason you are there is 'cos I'm over here Hey!
