Lyrics Meet the New Mozart - Prefab Sprout

Meetthe new Mozart,
He'sin the bed where commerce
Sleepswith art;
Whocan blame him?
Nopauper's grave this time round
Willclaim him.

Onlydays before he died
TheSalzburg wonder, prophesised;
'Iknow one day I will see
A lessheartbreaking century.'

'I'llform a band, and play some dates,
Rejectthe music God dictates.
All Iwrite may not last,
Hellit may be manure,
ButI'll endure,
Notburn out fast.'

Meetthe new Mozart,
Thecomeback of the Salzburg wizard.
Meetthe new Mozart,
He'sin the bed where commerce
Sleepswith art;
Whocan blame him?
Nopauper's grave this time round
Willclaim him.

Somuch for the divine spark,
Itflared then left me in the dark.
Nexttime I won't be so pure
Dreaming big, dying poor.

Nexttime round, not so bright,
I'llswap a molten core, a starburst for,
Candlelight.

Meetthe new Mozart,
Thecomeback of the Salzburg wizard.
Meetthe new Mozart,
He'sin the bed where commerce
Sleepswith art;
Whocan blame him?
Nopauper's grave this time round
Willclaim him.

Meetthe new Mozart,
Whocan blame him?
Nopauper's grave this time round
Willclaim him.
