Moira’s Hand

Do you have faith, then you will survive
The times of happiness, times of joy
With that rainbow around your skyline you can get by
But in times of grieve or in times of pain
Just let the Macintosh round your shoulders, take the strain

Introducing Moira's hand
Seated at the grand piano
Part of Alexander's band
Who are world-renowned for getting on with the song
She ran away from home they say
She wanted to get into ragtime
Now with dreams of yesterday
She's sometimes happy, though very often she cried

But she has faith and she will survive
The times of happiness, times of joy
With that rainbow around, she's sure to get by
And through the times of grieve, or in times of pain
She lets the Macintosh round her shoulders, take the strain

With gun and a holster in his palm
Tex sits down to eat his dinner
He digs the music from the band
But he's not been known to sing along with their song
Oh he's a lonely, lonely man
He sits alone when he eats his dinner
Once was Moira's right-hand man
But now he dreams of only yesterday's joy

Undisputed point of fact
Tex was never born a winner
Moira's never coming back
Now she's known a good band
She's playing it in a good song

Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha

And time may come when time will show
Who gets sweet Moira's hand in marriage
With sadness, Tex must bear this blow
So let's close the show
Say sad goodbye to the song
