Little Wonder - Augie March

Well it＇s my very little wonder and it＇s one that I will keep

But you can take it with you if it helps you when you＇re trying to sleep

And the men who are a cut above today are often not so very deep

Young ladies of means will say ＂I am I am I am I am I am＂

Sitting on the edges of their seats on the light rail train

Amoungst the could-a-beens the also-rans -

It＇s very little wonder if you cry

It＇s very little wonder you don＇t cry

The birds were framed

The babies were framed

And so too the black sky

You can＇t hear the ready laughter in my song

When I was laughing all day yesterday and all night long

Till we shook off the fears

And had us both in tears

O brother don＇t clean out your ears and you might be amazed

To find the secrets of the city in its alley ways

In the bins behind the swill cafes

Amid the clean-picked chicken bones and cartilage

A spirit groans a small heart beats and a red beak groans

You＇ll know why

It＇s very little wonder you don＇t cry

Don＇t be ashamed of a guilty little rain

And don＇t be ashamed

It＇s just the drink it＇s just the drink

It＇s just the drink

One marks a place

One makes a time

One stops a＇living

One goes about a＇dying

Somebody blew their brains out in this room

I can feel it like it happened just this afternoon

O fear walks tall when it＇s halfway up the hill with it＇s friend alcohol

I could hear the heavy footsteps in his hollow halls

Little wonder that he soon devised to rid them all

In one great gushing fall

The billion tiny devil＇s feet that nightly walk that bloody beat

Hi ho ho hum

Get yourself a gun

Open up your heart

And let the bleeders run

Hi ho ho hum

Move the thing along

Open up your heart

And let the bleeders run

Hi ho ho hum

Think about your mum

Open up your heart

And let the evening come darkly in
