Lyrics Van Morrison

Van Morrison

Thanks for the Information

Thanks for the information

Never give a sucker an even break

When he's breaking through

To a new level of consciousness

There always seems to be more

Obstacles in the way

Thanks for the information I know

It's only a combat zone

Thanks for the memory,

I'll just have

To carry on on my own

Chorus:

And it's wonderful and it's marvelous

How we can ever make it through

Sometimes I wonder how we can ever

Make it from day to day

Thanks for the information

What you gain on the hobby horse you lose on the swing

I like mine over easy

And you can have your's sunny side up

I don't wanna quibble over insignificant details

And I've tried every trick in the book

Thanks for the information

I know I should look before I leap

Chorus:

And it's wonderful and It's marvelous

How we can ever make it through

Sometimes I wonder how

We can ever make it at all

Thanks for the information

Never give a sucker an even break

And with her everything light becomes heavy

And everything heavy becomes light

They took me down to the watering hole

Because I happened to mention I was dying of thirst

Then they told me he who believes first will be later

And he who believes later will be first

Chorus:

And it's wonderful etc etc....

Thanks for the information

Oh never give a sucker an even break

When you're on to something it's a

Dime in a dozen people start

Coming out of the woodwork

Thanks for the invitation

I know I must be on to something big

Everytime I take two steps forward

I end up having to take three back

Chorus:

And it's wonderful etc etc....

Thanks for the information

A bird in the hand is worth two in the bush

Every time I'm ready for a major breakthrough

I always have to think in terms of better of worse

Thanks for the information
