If It Looks Like Magic

by Amateur Ornithologist

lyrics

Down the garden to the beck
Father’s camera in hand
Ticing wonders into place
We’ll make Mother understand

Five photographs
The papers laughed

And if it looks like magic
Why would you choose not to see
The evidence so graphic
If It looks like magic, magic

In the greenery she stood
With an offering of flowers
“Rational people” never see
Howard verified the glass

Five photographs
Who guessed they’d last

And if it looks like magic
Why would you choose not to see
The evidence so graphic
If It looks like magic, magic

Sir Arthur said
Glamour had returned
Sir Arthur said
Mystery was reborn

And if it looks like magic
Why would you choose not to see
The evidence so graphic
If It looks like magic

And if it looks like magic
Why would you choose not to see
The evidence so graphic
If It looks like magic, magic
