|Punctured bicycle on a hillside desolate
Punctured bicycle on a hillside desolate
Will Nature make a man of me yet?
Will Nature make a man of me yet?
When in this charming car
When in this charming car
This charming man
This charming man


Why pamper life's complexities
Why pamper life's complexity
When the leather runs smooth on the passenger seat?
When the leather runs smooth on the passenger seat?


Line 109: Line 164:
A jumped-up pantry boy
A jumped-up pantry boy
Who never knew his place
Who never knew his place
He said - "return the ring"
He said - "Return the ring"
He knows so much about these things
He knows so much about these things
He knows so much about these things
He knows so much about these things
He knows so much about these things  
He knows so much about these things
