Village Idiot Lyrics - Hymns To The Silence - Van Morrison

Did you see the lad, on the corner 

He was standing drinking wine 

Wears his overcoat in the summer 

And short sleeves in the winter time 

Takes his holidays, down at the bookies 

Well he knows how to pick a horse 

Village tramping round the countryside 

He wears a smile, but he doesn't say much 

Village idiot, he's complicated 

Village idiot, simple mind 

Village idiot, he does know something 

But he's just not saying

NEW SONG: Blink-182 - 'Happy Days' Lyrics 

Don't you know he's onto something 

You can see it, you can see it in his eyes 

Sometimes he looks so happy 

As he goes strolling by 

Oh village idiot, he's complicated 

Village idiot, he's got a simple mind 

Village idiot, must know something 

But he's just not saying 

Well you all know he's onto something 

You can see it in his eyes 

Sometimes he looks so happy 

When he goes walking by 

Sometimes he looks so happy 

When he goes walking by 

Sometimes he looks so happy 

When he goes walking by.
