Song Lyrics

A thumbnail sketch, a jeweller`s stoneA mean idea to call my ownOld man don`t lay so still you`re not yet youngThere`s time to teach, point to point,Point observation, children carry reservationsStanding on the shoulders of giants leaves me cold, leaves me cold.A mean idea to call my own, a hundred million birds flySinger sing me a given, singer sing me a songStanding on the shoulders of giants everybody`s looking on(Old don`t lay so still you`re not yet young,There`s time to teach, point to point,point observation, children carry reservations).Standing on the shoulders of giants leaves me coldA mean idea to call my own, a hundred million birds fly away, away.I am king of all I see, my kingdom for a voiceOld man don`t lay so still, you`re not yet youngThere`s time to teach, point to point Point observation, children carry reservationsStanding on the shoulders of giants leaves me coldA mean idea to call my own, a hundred million birds fly awayEverybody hit the ground. Everybody hit the ground.
