When the inspiration is above my station   Thoughts are melancholy and I let them pass   I tend to view this nation through the condensation   On a dirty glass      When the singer solemn was a bonnie laddie   When she brushed his hair with a watered comb   Then he could have dandered and he could have shown ye   Seven hills like Rome      If misty eyes can witness   Love and affection, love and affection   Why does the heart still resist   What the hell is wrong with you?      I've got eyes of misty blue   All the things I want to do   Are all I ever wanted to      As the laddie grew and he looked around him   At the thugs and rapists in their stolen suits   Louder beat the rhythm of his bloody heart   Telling him to shoot      If misty eyes can witness   Love and affection, love and affection   Why does the heart still resist   What the hell is wrong with you?      I've got eyes of misty blue   All the things I want to do   Are all I ever wanted to      Thoughtless competition like a home-made prison   Made him fix his vision on a certain fate   What's the use in winning all the worlds creation   If you won't create      If misty eyes can witness   Love and affection, love and affection   Why does the heart still resist   What the hell is wrong with you?      I've got eyes of misty blue   All the things I want to do   Are all I ever wanted to
