Lyrics Kevin Ayers

Kevin Ayers

Am I Really Marcel?

Ayers

I've got no ambition, guess I'm out of place

'Cause I'd rather go fishing than run in the race

I'm naturally lazy but what can I do I?

I was born in the wrong place, wrong time too

Just working for money working for pay

All seems so pointless day after day

I'm happy dreaming and it's good for my health

And only when I'm dreaming am I really myself

Some people say its just running away

But then everyone's running somewhere

And I still believe that the best we can do

Is to know where we are and be there

For what we call progress

We're selling our soul

And there's just too much going on out there

Beyond my control
