Critic

You threw the hot pies at the baker All because you burnt your tongue It's easy to blame the maker

When you're watching from afar

And stars sing the hymn of nothing

Their faces without smiles

You stand on your platform

Judging from the aisles

If you don't want to get in

Don't tell me how to swim

When you were young you put your hand up

You threw your hat into the ring

Now you stay indoors and wonder

Mouth the words you cannot sing

But it's not as hard as it looks

You could join the choir

And nothing is stopping you now

Just the critic in the tower

If you don't want to get in

Don't tell me how to sing

Don't be afraid - make a start!

They always say it's the hardest part

The hardest part
