The Earth and Other Minor Things.

Seq - Dr. J.Pitt-Payne. Kar - Bunty Pritchard Jones. Feb 2001.

[Mamita spoken] Hurry, Gigi, you must not be late.
Aunt Alicia doesn't like to wait.

Ring the bell, don't pound upon the door.
Don't hang your coat and hat upon the floor.
Act as though you've been indoors before.

[Gigi sings] The postman or Mamma or Aunt Alicia,
That's all it seems to be a question of;

a pauper or a slave or Aunt Alicia,
But not a mention anywhere of love.

What is there that anyone can teach,
If ev'rything I want is out of reach?

I know about the earth,
and other minor things,

why caterpillars smile,
and Summertime has wings;

How if somewhere there's always a dawn,
The earth must be worth being on.

But there's one thing
that makes a continual riddle of it;
Why, oh why I'm here in the middle of it all.

I don't belong where the crowds are.
Why don't I go where the clouds are?

I know about the leaves,
That fall, and then are gone;

How small a kite becomes
with no one holding on;

and I can't be a cloud in a storm,
with no where to go to be warm;

and as long as I can't find a clue,
to the riddle of it,

what am I to do,
in the middle of it all?

I don't belong where the crowds are.
I don't belong where the clouds are.
Then where do I belong?
