Lyrics
Ooh it's a thorn in your side
Oh take it in your stride
Oh now it's only your pride
Andrew
Ooh it's heavy as stone
Ah it's a truth well known
You've got to do it alone
Andrew
Hollow and empty
Don't feel like you used to
The horn of plenty
You've got to blow it now
You'll never be ready
But they can't wait forever
They'll take what you give them
You'll give it somehow
Ooh it's a thorn in your side
Oh take it in your stride
Oh now it's only your pride
Andrew
Ooh it's heavy as stone
Engraved with a truth well known
That you've got to carry alone
Andrew
Conquer the concrete
Idealise the ivy
Run through the rosebush
Onto the well-tended lawn
The world in the evening
Light from an upper window
Two shadows crossing
A rugby field
It's a thorn in your side
Take it in your stride
Oh now it's only your pride
Andrew
