Lyrics to The Great Leveller

Lyrics to the song

The Great Leveller

as recorded by Phil Manzanera.

[featuring Gary Dyson on Vocals]   

 

She's older than you think and wiser than you know 

Keeps you on the brink without really letting go 

Day after day you follow her desire 

When she draws the line   that shuts an open mind   

 

Cuts you down to size  the Great Leveller 

Ooh Ooh everybody hits you like a big surprise 

The Great Leveller  sure can penetrate your foolish pride   

 

Yeah 

Love is the Great Leveller yeah 

Love is the Great Leveller    

 

The look that's on your face tells me everything 

The light that's in your eye is the fire from which I spring 

Change in my life  you gave it back to me and now I can see 

The humble origins of harmony

 

Love is the Great Leveller yeah

Love is the Great Leveller yeah 

As it cuts you down to size, cuts you down 

Love is the Great Leveller    

 

Cuts you down to size  

The great leveller Ooh everybody 

Yeah it hits you like a big surprise 

The Great Leveller, the Great Leveller 

The Great Great Leveller of love
