Ballad of a Salesman Who Sold Himself - Kevin Ayers
Written by：Kevin Ayers
There was moonlight and laughter
That danced on the sands
And bloodstained pianos
Are played without hands
Such a promising music
Sweet whispers and dreams
From a travelling window
The salesman who screamed
Moonlight
Saturday night
It's now or never
Oh play stormy weather
For me
For me
I lived in the flower shop
Called love is so sweet
And I get all my kicks
From
The customers' feet
Well I'm just a stranger
None stranger than I
My head in the quicksand
My feet in the sky
I was carefully crazy
When playing the game
'Cause business is business
And I'm not to blame
And
Climb on my back
It's a wet afternoon
A bottle of booze
A bit of a tune to sing
Goodbye everything
Goodbye everything
