Painted in a painted corner
The greatest on the earth has never stepped on land
I'm standing on a gold mine
I could make it all mine all mine
But I don't want your money just your...
If you took my hand would I still be blind
'Cos you don't sparkle, you don't shine
Sparkle in my eyes
And if you took my hand would I still be blind
You don't sparkle, you don't shine
Sparkle in my, sparkle in my eyes
The greatest living singer
Stuck inside a damp bedsitter
The greatest on the earth has never stepped on land
For services rendered
A party full of great pretenders
The champagne wasn't chilled such a dreadful oversight
Oh why
If you took my hand would I still be blind
Cause you don't sparkle, you don't shine
Sparkle in my eyes
Oh no you, you don't sparkle in my eyes
If you took my hand would I still be blind
Cause you don't sparkle, you don't shine
Sparkle in my eyes
And if you took my hand would I still be blind
You don't sparkle, you don't shine
Sparkle in my eyes
Oh no you, you don't sparkle, sparkle in my eyes
