Van Morrison Whatever Happened To PJ Proby? lyrics

Whatever happened to PJ Proby?
Wonder can you fix it Jim
Where the hell do you think is Scott Walker?
My memory's getting so dim

Don't have no frame of reference no more
Not even Screaming Lord Sutch
Without him now there's no Raving Loony Party
Nowadays I guess there's not much

To relate to anymore
'Less you wanna be mediocre
Ain't nothin' new under the sun
And the moon, and the stars now chum

I'm makin' my way down the highway
Still got a monkey on my back
Facing it head on and doing it my way
Please, can you cut me some slack?

There's nothin' to relate to anymore

'Less you wanna be mediocre
Ain't nothin' new under the sun
And the moon, and the stars now chum

Still making my way down the highway
Still got a monkey on my back
Facing head on and doing it my way
Please, can you cut me some slack?

All the cards fell so many rounds
Down the road a piece Jack
Saw a bus comin' and I had to get on it
I'm still trying to find my way back

Whatever happened to all those dreams a while ago
Whatever happened way across the sea
Whatever happened to the way it's supposed to happen
And whatever happened to me?
