lyrics

Now that she's smiling I'm starting to wonder what I'm doing wrong
If you don't know by now then I'll give you a clue at the end of the song
When they finally see
I'm the eminence gris
There'll be hell to pay
They thought that I was the nice one

Now think carefully ere you make a sound
They're all waiting for something profound
But for God's sake don't hand them your heart
Try self-pity, it's cheaper

I spilled some milk and the crowd gathered round just to watch it congeal
And all that I got was this lousy T-shirt and a publishing deal
When I finally explain
What I feel isn't pain
There'll be hell to pay, they were crowding around for my death scene

(Hey mister!)

Now think carefully ere you make a speech
Stay aloof, they want what they can't reach
But for God's sake try not to die young
If you do take some with you

You just wanted to give them a fight
Oh the wrong things we do when we're right
Turn one last pirouette before bed
And think carefully for victory

Never believed me when I offered you a clue
You don't deserve an explanation

It is impossible to separate the National Pep's history into its components of truth and legend. There is a truly marvellous proof of this, which this margin is too small to contain, but which can be read at
