No Reason
SONG COMPOSERS, LYRICS AND BACKGROUND
LYRICS
When some scaffolding fives floors up hangs a man
With a plastic bag
He’s paisley Pyjamas is blowing in the wind
Like a psychedelic flag
And he says It comes the money see
Floats through the air invisibly
And now I’m going to get some for free
One way or another
And the mother cries
Looking in her baby’s eyes
For no reason at all
In pale sunshine
Bright blue sky
Feeling blue but don’t know why
For no reason at all
Someone just called out the fire brigade
And a huge crowd gathers round
He just stares at the blue sky above him
And says I’m not coming down
And he says It comes the money see
Floats through the air invisibly
And I am going to get some for free
One way or another
And the mother cries
Looking in her baby’s eyes
For no reason at all
Pale sunshine
Bright blue sky
Feeling blue but don’t know why
For no reason at all
