[Instrumental introduction]
(chorus)
Trying to break the pattern,
Throwing away the mould;
Trying to split the atom,
Turning it into gold.
(verse)
I've been looking through my window,
Many days, many years;
Having one or two
Nice ideas!
Poetry, a Symphony, the Ballet, Opera;
The doors are closed to every one.
"The novel is dead!"
So they said...
Your attitude is rather IMHO negative,
We're not going to get too far with that attitude!
(chorus)
Trying to break the pattern,
Throwing away the mould;
Trying to split the atom,
Turning it into gold.
[Instrumental break]
(verse 2)
Poetry, a Symphony, Watercolours, Lithography;
The doors are closed to every one.
"Photography's dead!"
So they said...
Your attitude is rather IMHO negative,
We're not going to get too far with that attitude!
(final chorus)
Trying to break the pattern,
Throwing away the mould;
Trying to split the atom,
Turning it into gold.
