Half Way There - Slapp Happy

He's only half way there he's only half way there

Told me my fortune was enough for me

That I should rather be lying lonely

In the houses that stand along the river side

Wearing nothing but the ruby

Bequeathed to me by him when he died

He's only half way there he's only half way there

First time I turned and ran away from him

I could not begin to feel the feelings that

I felt he felt then

If he hadn't disappeared in spring that year

I'd have gone back home again

He's only half way there he's only half way there

One look at his visage will tell you so

There's nothing to know is there in black and white

Printed o his brow

He has told me why when

Where but he never told me how

He's only half way there he's only half way there

A large courtege of mourners all agree that

It was really he

Huddled in a blanket chewing on a ball point pen

They stood him up against the wall

And set him off again

Around the karmic wheel big deal

You can't get me that way

I read between the lines

Of the notice in the times

This is what they say

He's only half way there

He's only half way there

Half way there

Half way there

Half way there

Half way there

Half way there

Half way there

Half way there

Half way there
