Trumpet Song

Too much time, too many mirrors here to inspire us
Fat pigs fishing for pearls, too many admirers
You know those yes-men adore you
But they can't do everything for you
So blow your own trumpet

What a flick of the wrist in one so young
And you get everything that you need
With a twist of your tongue

"Together, together
Together we could inherit the earth !"
But you know that isn't good enough
He needs to inherit the stars !
While he needs desperately to succeed
He just doesn't have the time
To blow any minds
So blow your own

He runs rings around your confidence,
He undermines you , but undefines you
When he reminds you he's fantastic, thinks he's brilliant
(Hmm, three weeks ago he was listening to marillion !)
But he's turning over a new leaf, a clover
So few people noticed, so few
Only a few people noticed
This just undermines him
This just undermines his confidence
