Here Goes Nothing

Lyric by Clive James, music by Pete Atkin

I can't believe my eyes,
How bright they are and trusting.
I really take the prize
So helpless it's disgusting —

Here I go head over heels
Same now as then
All over again.

A moth near a candle flame
Has better sense than I have;
I have less sense of shame
Than lemmings who leap to die have —

Here I go head over heels
Same now as then:
Then, over again.
