Knife Grinder from Ontario next song/previous song In my mind I see me standing out In the pictures of a magazine At the premier I never made And no one’s seen In the search for missing persons I question Google where can I be And the crowd that came Had the very same name as me There’s a knife grinder from Ontario A saxophonist from New York And all my schemes and all my dreams Come in at 94th In my world of self importance My name is top of the list each time But in cyberspace I take my place down the line There’s a knife grinder from Ontario... If all the people with my name were all laid end to end They’d stretch from London to Landsend They’d all have different lives With a different kind of compromise With my DNA restructured I could make it on the public scene Instead of looking at The pieces of a broken dream There’s a knife grinder from Ontario... ©2006 Dave Ellis & Boo Howard song index
