Procol Harum


My parents must've disliked me. They left me in the lurch 
Packed me in a basket which was left in a church 
It was found by a nun 
who took one peep and run 
screaming 'There's an eye in the middle of his head!' 

The man in charge reflected and then to me he said, 
'All men are born equal. You can earn your daily bread; 
Go now to the belfry 
where the bats are blind and can't see 
there's an eye in the middle of your head.' 

I sat there in the gloom, thought about my lousy luck; 
At least if your body's offensive then your clothes cover it up 
But my forehead is quite smooth 
except for one circular groove 
and that's the eye in the middle of my head.
