Peter Hinwood The Sword of Damocles Lyrics

[Rockys voice by: Trevor White]

(Rocky:)
The Sword of Damocles is hanging over my head
And I've got the feeling someone's gonna be cutting the thread
Oh, woe is me
My life is a misery
Oh, can't you see
That I'm at the start of a pretty big downer
I woke up this morning with a start when I fell out of bed
*That ain't no crime*
And left from my dreaming was a feeling of unnameable dread
*That ain't no crime*
My high is low
I'm dressed up with no place to go
And all I know
Is I'm at the start of a pretty big downer

(Frank:)
Oh, Rocky!
*Sha la la la, that ain't no crime*

(Rocky:)
Oh, no, no, no,
*Sha la la la, that ain't no crime*

(Rocky:)
Oh, no, no, no,

(Frank:)
Oh, my baby!
*Sha la la la*
*That ain't no crime*
*That ain't no crime*

(Rocky:)
The Sword of Damocles is hanging over my head
(Frank:)
Oh, really!
*That ain't no crime*

(Rocky:)
And I've got the feeling someone's gonna be cutting the thread
*That ain't no crime*
Oh, woe is me
My life is a mystery
And can't you see
That I'm at the start of a pretty big downer

(Frank:)
Come here!
*Sha la la la, that ain't no crime*

(Rocky:)
Oh, no, no, no
*Sha la la la, that ain't no crime*

(Rocky:)
Oh, no, no, no
* Sha la la la*
*That ain't no crime*
*That ain't no crime*
*Sha la la la, that ain't no crime*

(Rocky:)
Oh, no, no, no,
*Sha la la la, that ain't no crime*

(Rocky:)
Oh, no, no, no
*Sha la la la*
*That ain't no crime*
*That ain't no crime*
*Sha la la*
