Charity Balls

You think you're safe from all that's gone before No one can touch you now for evermore It's out of sight but not out of your mind You cannot lose it you can only pretend This is the end my friend this is the end You're a great example to us all A pillar of society, that's for sure But I hear those bones shake behind the cupboard door And I know the combination to free them once more This is the end my friend this is the end I don't need no one to spy Telescope or private eye 'Cos I know, yes, I've known it all the while You go to goodwill functions, charity balls You walk with royalty in presidential halls But in your soul a voice is screaming to be heard No matter how you try it cannot be deterred This is the end my friend this is the end I don't need no one to spy Telescope or private eye 'Cos I know, yes, I've known it all the while I hear your modest tones upon the radio And I see you public face an all-convincing show You know who you are and where you're coming from You know what the future hold you cannot always run This is the end my friend this is the end I don't need no one to spy Telescope or private eye 'Cos I know, yes, I've known it all the while You think you're safe from all that's gone before No one can touch you now for evermore It may be hid but in spite of it all It's there in neon letters ten feet tall This is the end my friend this is the end --- Charity Balls - Tony Banks
