I am just a juggling man, been just a juggling man,
for too long, long, long.
They're breaking glass and burning buildings
in the early greenhouse sun.
The powers that be will blame extrem
ists and I may well be one.
And all you kids in
Cardboard
City, I hope you're having fun
And all you voters everywhere will
remember what you've done
Remember what you've done
I am just a juggling man,
been in the cold too long, long, long
And I live with the raggedy and we never had any money,
is it really so wrong?
The vel vet glove,
the iron rod and a bridle for your tongue
The tanks which trundle through the square
when the old have killed the young
The wind feels all the colder now that
the summer's on the run
The old man sees the wall come down
and he reaches for his gun
He reaches for his gun
And I am just a jackal and I've been
in the cold too long, long, long
And I live with a raggedy head,
we never had any money
Is it really so bad?
Can we dream, dream of the feeling
To wake one day and find
that you are gone
And will we dance,
dance by your gravesite
So glad, so glad, so glad that you are gone
So wander dimly through
the past of the
England that you knew
These dispossessed and homeless children,
they all belong to you, they all belong to you.
And I am just a jackal and I've been
in the cold too long, long, long.
And I live in the raggedy and
we never had any money.
Is it really so wrong when we dream,
dream, dream
Dream of a feeling
I am just a juggling man
To wake one day and
find that you are gone
I am just a juggling man
And will we dance, dance, dance
Dance by your graveside
I just a juggling man
So glad, so glad,
so glad that you are gone
I am just as joyful, so glad, so glad, so glad that you are gone
That's where he got the
money to start up.
We were number one in the
album charts in the
States for most of 1968.
He pushed us, and he pushed us,
and he pushed us.
It was a treadmill,
it was a bloody hamster wheel.
Pressure got too much for
Dave, and then
Steve died.
know, he just died, man.
He used to say
Steve was like this son he'd
never had.
Clever.
Oh yeah, it was clever.
So clever that one of us went mad and
one of us died in the lane.
We got our money back,
though, didn't we, eh?
We got our money.
Cheers.
