Fairport Convention Pleasure And Pain
(Chorus) Pleasure and pain is like profit and gain Sometimes you win and sometimes you lose Be kind to yourself when you're tired of yourself Don't go mixing the reds along with the blues The coach that I ride has a horseman who's tired The reins to his hands they are tied The one to alight, if he's lucky, he might Learn to slow down and drift with the tide (Chorus) It's ever so low when there's nowhere to go And your spirit lies close to the ground Take a long look behind, I'm sure you'll find A friend there who'll help pull you round (Chorus) You have to agree, it's not easy to see A sheep underneath all that fleece If you'll take my advice, stick with people you like It's a big world, you're only one piece (Chorus) Pleasure and pain is like profit and gain Sometimes you win Be kind to yourself when you're tired of yourself Don't go mixing the reds along with the blues
