Van Morrison — Village Idiot

[Verse 1] Did you see the lad on the corner He was standing drinking wine Wears his overcoat in the summer And short sleeves in the winter time [Verse 2] Takes his holidays down at the bookies Well he knows how to pick a horse Village tramping 'round the countryside He wears a smile but he doesn't say much [Chorus] Village idiot, he's complicated Village idiot, simple mind Village idiot, he does know something But he's just not saying [Verse 3] Don't you know he's onto something You can see it, you can see it in his eyes Sometimes he looks so happy As he goes strolling by [Chorus] Oh village idiot, he's complicated Village idiot, he's got a simple mind Village idiot, must know something But he's just not saying [Verse 4] Well you all know he's onto something You can see it in his eye Sometimes he looks so happy When he goes walking by [Outro] Sometimes he looks so happy When he goes walking by Sometimes he looks so happy When he goes walking by
