Stefan Andersson - Mona Lisa lyrics

It's by our failures that we progress on
Down through history isn't it crazy
Some inventive mothers
Were glorified through luck

It was a failure out of an absent mind
Down by the Chateau Fizz that made it bubble
In his bottle of wine sweet Lord I'm hooked

Mona-Lisa was probably one
Just a slip of the pencil
And her glory had come
The smile she's wearing
It ain't nothing but a wrong
Just a slip of the pencil
And her song was sung

It was a failure made by a Chinese man
Down by the carry out
That made his powder-keg turn into fireworks
When he stubbed out his fag

It was a pleasure
Found by the one who popped
Popcorn to our world he did't mean to
But that's the way it goes
"Right time, right place"
