These are heavy times
So won't you show your hand
I don't mean kiss and tell
I'm such a jealous man
I throw a flush
I reveal my ace
The hearts my trump
I don't need no picture face
I'm laying my cards out on the table place
Won't you take my hand
Won't you take my hand
These are heavy times
These are heavy times
All clamps and parking fines
Too much north too much south
Too much of the knaves verses the spades
Won't you take my hand
These are heavy times
From a circus ring to a band of gold
Sometimes there's safety nets
Sometimes but there's no golden rule
So won't you show your hand
I don't mean kiss and tell
I'm such a jealous man
I throw a flush
I reveal my ace
The hearts my trump
I don't need no picture face
I'm laying my cards out on the table place
Won't you take my hand
Won't you take my hand
These are heavy times
These are heavy times
All clamps and parking fines
Too much north too much south
Too much of the knaves verses the spades
Won't you take my hand
These are heavy times
From a circus ring to a band of gold
Sometimes there's safety nets
Sometimes but there's no golden rule
