[ti:Congratulations] [ar:Cliff Richard] [al:40 Golden Greats] [by:] [offset:0] [00:01.65]Dead in the water [00:03.21]It's not a paid vacation [00:05.27]The sons and daughters of city officials [00:07.89]Attend demonstrations [00:08.64]It's hardly a sink or swim [00:10.76]When all is well if the ticket sells [00:13.76]Out with a wimper [00:15.50]It's not a blaze of glory [00:17.88]You look down from your temple [00:20.00]As people endeavor to make it a story [00:22.74]And chisel a marble word [00:24.61]But all is lost if it's never heard [00:27.67]But I've got someone to make reports [00:30.17]That tell me how my money's spent [00:32.79]To book my stays and draw my blinds [00:35.35]So I can't tell what's really there [00:37.66]And all I need's a great big congratulations [00:40.09]I'll keep your dreams [00:41.65]You pay attention for me [00:43.34]As strange as it seems [00:45.02]I'd rather dissolve than have you ignore me [00:47.70]The ground may be moving fast [00:49.76]But I tied my boots to a broken mast [00:52.76]The difference is clear [00:54.13]You throw it in your cauldron [00:56.32]Rust and veneer dusk and dawn [00:58.31]Steinways and Baldwins [00:59.43]You start with a simple stock of all the waste [01:03.99]And salt to taste [01:05.99]But damn my luck and damn these friends [01:09.73]That keep on combing back their smiles [01:12.79]I save my grace with half-assed guilt [01:15.91]And lay down the quilt upon the lawn [01:20.40]Spread my arms and soak up congratulations
