LYRICS

So gather ye round, I’ll perform a trick for you
Just to prove that Fairy tales do come true
How many cards am I holding
How many cards do you see
The answer my friends,
as always depends
On how many you want there be

What does it mean for me and you
It’s the soundtrack of a bloodless coup
Something borrowed something blue

I never promised you flowers

I just sowed the seed
Told you what you wanted to hear

Showed you just what you need
Oh the truth it appears
Is what the people believe

So gather ye round, can you do a trick for me
Just to prove how much better things could be
Take your half empty glasses
And fill them halfway
Let the people perceive
Maybe even believe
It will somehow be better some day

What does it mean for you and me
A suggestion of prosperity
No mention of austerity

I never promised you flowers

You know I just sowed the seed
Told you what you wanted to hear

Showed you just what you need
Oh the truth it appears
Is what the people believe

So close your eyes and let me whisper in your ear
Tales of how things could be
Let me show you the prize, and take away those nagging fears
And see what you wanted to see

I never promised you flowers

I just sowed the seed
Told you what you wanted to hear

Showed you just what you need
Oh the truth it appears
Is what the people believe

I never promised you flowers

No I just sowed the seed
Told you what you wanted to hear

Showed you just what you need
Oh the truth it appears
Is what the people believe
