The Stranglers - It's a Small World lyrics

Many roads to travel down and there are Many suprises to find But as luck will have it you can stumble In the valley of the blind Friends will always tell you fate will rear Its ugly head to frighten you But the hands of time hold something and He's offering it all to you. Watch out for a suprise It's nature's biggest prize And if it comforts you discover It's a small world too. Read your books and study hard to find the kick That makes you carry on And if luck's a kind friend she will show you How and why it all began. Just look in the backyard You won't have to look hard The crossword's final clue discover It's a small world too. When your friends are gathered round And you draw straws to find out who goes first Climb the wall out of the pleasure garden See a flower die of thirst A circle's always round The truth lies underground You may just join the few discover It's a small world too
