The Idol Lyrics - Bbc Live In Concert - Procol Harum

Oh the idol, Oh the idol 

They knew the monster's every trick 

They knew his secrets every stitch 

All of it had been a game 

Nothing but a charlatan 

Perhaps there was a chance of coming through 

It even seemed that he might think it too 

But he could see no point in diving in 

He knew that he would neither sink nor swim 

And so they found he'd nothing left to say 

Just another idol turned to clay

It seemed to them he must know what to do 

They knew that only he could pull them through 

They thought that he would make a plan 

He'd work it out, he'd understand 

Like drowning men they clutched at every straw 

They knew that he had saved them all before 

But he could see no point in diving in 

He knew that he would neither sink nor swim
