Letra Both Sides of the Coin (Revival Version) por Rupert Holmes

I am not myself these days
For all I know, I might be you
There's more than room enough for two
Inside my mind!

I am likewise in a haze
Of who I am from scene to scene
What's more, we two--
We four, I mean!
Are in a bind!

For is it I? Or is it me?

And if I'm him? And if I'm he?
Each one of us might not agree on what to do

And if I take opposing sides
Within myself then who divides up
What is right or wrong?

I'll go along with you

Ha'penny, one penny, tu'penny, thru'penny
Twelve to a shilling, twice that to a florin
And would you not fancy the currency foreign
To find the same face on both sides of the coin?

Bob is your uncle from pennies to guineas
The two-sided mint is the rule, not exception
And would you not quite feel quite the fool of deception
To find the same face on both sides of the coin?

Odds or evens

Heads or tails

It's high or low

Or black or white

It's up or down

Or left or right

Or night or day!

Nature seldom ever fails
To most obligingly provide
An undisclosed opposing side
To one's dismay

There's shadows in the shining morn

If there's a rose it bears a thorn

You're as good as dead as soon as born

And yet we smile!

But luck's division is perverse

It seems to work more in reverse

If things are better, they'll be worse in just a while!

Ha'penny, one penny, tu'penny, thru'penny
Twelve to a shilling, twice that to a florin
And would you not fancy the currency foreign
To find the same face on both sides of the coin?

Bob is your uncle from pennies to guineas
The two-sided mint is the rule, not exception
And would you not quite feel quite the fool of deception
To find the same face on both sides of the coin?

Both sides of the coin!
Hey!
