SINGER: Van Morrison

SONG:Thanks For The Information

Thanks for the information
never give a sucker an even break
when he's breaking through
to a new level of consciousness
there always seems to be more
obstacles in the way
thanks for the information i know
it's only a combat zone
thanks for the memory,
i'll just have
to carry on on my own
[chorus:]
and it's wonderful and it's marvelous
how we can ever make it through
sometimes i wonder how we can ever
make it from day to day
Thanks for the information
what you gain on the hobby horse you lose on the swing
i like mine over easy
and you can have your's sunny side up
i don't wanna quibble over insignificant details
and i've tried every trick in the book
thanks for the information
i know i should look before i leap
[chorus:]
and it's wonderful and it's marvelous
how we can ever make it through
sometimes i wonder how
we can ever make it at all
Thanks for the information
never give a sucker an even break
and with her everything light becomes heavy
and everything heavy becomes light
they took me down to the watering hole
because i happened to mention i was dying of thirst
then they told me he who believes first will be later
and he who believes later will be first
[chorus]
Thanks for the information
oh never give a sucker an even break
when you're on to something it's a
dime in a dozen people start
coming out of the woodwork
thanks for the invitation
i know i must be on to something big
everytime i take two steps forward
i end up having to take three back
[chorus]
Thanks for the information
a bird in the hand is worth two in the bush
every time i'm ready for a major breakthrough
i always have to think in terms of better of worse
thanks for the information
thanks for the memory
