[The Incredible String Band - Footsteps of the Heron lyrics]
One day as I sat in a big noisy crowd
There was me and the whole of my conscience
And I thought that I wouldn't
Be missed if I went
And that my going would be of no importance
And I've nothing to do and I've nowhere to go
I'm not in the slightest way upset
I'm not chasing a hope or a dream or a plan
And I'm not even chasing the sunset
So I walked down this street I
Had no one to meet
And my thoughts kinda gently were flowing
When I popped this pussycat big as a lion
And asked me just where I was going
And I've nothing to do and I've nowhere to go
I'm not in the slightest way upset
I'm not chasing a hope or a dream or a plan
I'm not even chasing the sunset
The pussycat laughed and he followed me down
We walked through the crowds without motion
He said he would stay, but he ran clear away
I just laughed at his lack of devotion
And I've nothing to do and I've nowhere to go
I'm not in the slightest way upset
I'm not chasing a hope or a dream or a plan
I'm not even chasing the sunset
I met me this fink, tried to buy me a drink
And he says, I don't care 'bout no money"
I said, "Neither do I, but I'd buy you a guy
If I thought you were trying to get funny"
And I've nothing to do and I've nowhere to go
I'm not in the slightest way upset
I'm not chasing a hope or a dream or a plan
And I'm not even chasing the sunset
This man I did meet
Spoke to me through his feet and he said
"I don't care either 'bout no money"
I said, "Neither do I, but I buy wings to fly
'Cause without them the sun ain't so sunny"
And I've nothing to do and I've nowhere to go
I'm not in the slightest way upset
I'm not chasing a hope or a dream or a plan
And I'm not even chasing the sunset
There was me and the whole of my conscience
And I thought that I wouldn't
Be missed if I went
And that my going would be of no importance
And I've nothing to do and I've nowhere to go
I'm not in the slightest way upset
I'm not chasing a hope or a dream or a plan
And I'm not even chasing the sunset
So I walked down this street I
Had no one to meet
And my thoughts kinda gently were flowing
When I popped this pussycat big as a lion
And asked me just where I was going
And I've nothing to do and I've nowhere to go
I'm not in the slightest way upset
I'm not chasing a hope or a dream or a plan
I'm not even chasing the sunset
The pussycat laughed and he followed me down
We walked through the crowds without motion
He said he would stay, but he ran clear away
I just laughed at his lack of devotion
And I've nothing to do and I've nowhere to go
I'm not in the slightest way upset
I'm not chasing a hope or a dream or a plan
I'm not even chasing the sunset
I met me this fink, tried to buy me a drink
And he says, I don't care 'bout no money"
I said, "Neither do I, but I'd buy you a guy
If I thought you were trying to get funny"
And I've nothing to do and I've nowhere to go
I'm not in the slightest way upset
I'm not chasing a hope or a dream or a plan
And I'm not even chasing the sunset
This man I did meet

"I don't care either 'bout no money"
I said, "Neither do I, but I buy wings to fly
'Cause without them the sun ain't so sunny"
And I've nothing to do and I've nowhere to go
I'm not in the slightest way upset
I'm not chasing a hope or a dream or a plan
And I'm not even chasing the sunset
