Alan Price Between Today and Yesterday LIVE (1975)

He ll never see his mother s face Or feel his father s hand Who can you show when you succeed In nevernever land He s afraid to have his fortune told For fear what it might mean He doesn t want the picture drawn Of things he has to dream Between today and yesterday is like a million years And the only truthful man he s seen was standing there in tears Believe in me, his saviour said, And you will be redeemed But alas, abdullah, his savior fell He wasn t what he seemed Now the only happy man he s seen Was guilty but insane And he laughed and danced because he knew That his watchers felt the blame Between today and yesterday is like a million years And the only truthful man he s seen was standing there in tears Beware, the mirror on the wall gets less friendly with passing time Enough, I said enough, just draw the shades Please let me drink black wine Yes, I know it s the end
