Prefab Sprout Meet The New Mozart lyrics

Meet the new Mozart
He's in the bed where commerce
Sleeps with art, who can blame him?
No pauper's grave this time round will claim him

Only days before he died
The Salzburg wonder, prophesied
I know one day I will see
A less heartbreaking century

I'll form a band, and play some dates
Reject the music God dictates
All I write may not last, hell it may be manure
But I'll endure, not burn out fast

Meet the new Mozart
The comeback of the Salzburg wizard
Meet the new Mozart
He's in the bed where commerce
Sleeps with art, who can blame him?
No pauper's grave this time round will claim him


So much for the divine spark
It flared then left me in the dark
Next time I won't be so pure
Dreaming big, dying poor

Next time round, not so bright
I'll swap a molten core, a star burst for candlelight

Meet the new Mozart
The comeback of the Salzburg wizard
Meet the new Mozart
He's in the bed where commerce
Sleeps with art, who can blame him?
No pauper's grave this time round will claim him

Meet the new Mozart, who can blame him?
No pauper's grave this time round will claim him
