Jasper:

I am not myself these days - for all I

know I might be you.

There's more than room enough for two inside my mind.



Sapsea:

I am likewise in a haze of who I am from

scene to scene;

What's more we two, (we four, I mean)

are in a bind!



Jasper:

For is it I or is it me?



Sapsea:

And if I'm him and if I'm he, each on of us might not

Agree on what to do.



Jasper:

And if I take opposing sides within myself,

Then who divides up what is right or wrong?

Sapsea:

I'll go along with you.



Both:

Ha'penny, one penny, tupenny, thrupenny

Twelve to a shilling, twice that to a florin

And would you not fancy the currency foreign

To find the same face on both sides of the coin?

Bob is your uncle from pennies to guineas,

The two-sided mint is the rule, not exception,

And would you not quite feel quite the fool of deception

To find the same face on both sides of the coin?



Sapsea:

Odds or evens, it's high or low

It's up or down or night



Jasper:

Heads or tails, or black and white,

Or left and right or day!



Sapsea:

Nature seldom ever fails to most obligingly provide

An undisclosed opposing side to one's dismay.



Jasper:

There's shadows on this shining morn,



Sapsea:

If there's a rose it bears a thorn,



Jasper:

You're as good as dead as soon as born,



Both:

And yet we smile!



Sapsea:

But luck's division is perverse



Jasper:

It seems to work more in reverse



Sapsea:

If things are better, they'll be worse in just a while!

(Repeat Chorus)
