Roy Harper - Sophisticated Beggar lyrics

I'm just a sophisticated beggar living
Underneath your summer day
Counting all my blessings as I'm counting all
The money I've accumulated on my way
I don't want your plastic Gods
Tin-pot religions and silly ideas
All I want is your money
I listen to you but I know
You have nothing to say
I'm just a sophisticated beggar living
Underneath your summer day

I'm an emancipated firework exploding
On your busy street
Strumming my guitar as you pass
In your car always
Trying to knock me clean off my feet
I don't care if you own the whole world
The stars in the sky or a heavenly body

You're wasting your time if it's only
That that you're trying to convey
'Cos I'm just a sophisticated beggar
Living underneath your summer day
I'm an emaciated hipster drinking
Dreams and eating consciousness
Standing in the gutter in the middle of
A splutter hiding horrors
Underneath my largesse
I'd be hoarse for a million years
Trying to rescue my brain from
The flood of my mind
And all that I need, seems to me
To be needless to say
'Cos I'm just a sophisticated beggar
Living underneath your summer day
