Campaigner Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I am a lonely visitor
I came too late to cause a stir
Though I campaigned all my life
Towards that goal
I hardly slept the night you wept
Our secret's safe and still well kept
Where even Richard Nixon has got soul
Even Richard Nixon has got soul
[Verse 2]
The podium rocks in the crowded waves
The speaker talks of the beautiful saves
That went down long before he played this role
For the hotel queens and the magazines
Test tube genеs and slot machines
Where еven Richard Nixon has got soul
Even Richard Nixon has got it
Soul
[Verse 3]
Hospitals have made him cry
But there's always a freeway in his eye
Though his beach just got too crowded for a stroll
Roads stretch out like healthy veins
And wild gift horses strain the reins
Where even Richard Nixon has got soul
Even Richard Nixon has got soul
I am a lonely visitor
I came too late to cause a stir
Though I campaigned all my life
Towards that goal
I hardly slept the night you wept
Our secret's safe and still well kept
Where even Richard Nixon has got soul
Even Richard Nixon has got soul
[Verse 2]
The podium rocks in the crowded waves
The speaker talks of the beautiful saves
That went down long before he played this role
For the hotel queens and the magazines
Test tube genеs and slot machines
Where еven Richard Nixon has got soul
Even Richard Nixon has got it
Soul
[Verse 3]
Hospitals have made him cry
But there's always a freeway in his eye
Though his beach just got too crowded for a stroll
Roads stretch out like healthy veins
And wild gift horses strain the reins
Where even Richard Nixon has got soul
Even Richard Nixon has got soul
[Outro]
I am a lonely visitor
I came too late to cause a stir
Though I campaigned all my life
Towards that goal
I am a lonely visitor
I came too late to cause a stir
Though I campaigned all my life
Towards that goal
