Is this a state that you can't control   Or don't you care who you're talking to   Each time when things get out of hand   Why it's the same thing you always do   You start to point out other people's mistakes   Sometimes you even show contempt   How come the way you exclude yourself   Can't you see that you're not exempt?      Wrong thinking gets the better of you   It only takes a moment or two   Comes stealin' like a thief in the night   Changes every little thing in sight   Wrong thinking gets the better of you.      Well it's the same old thing that happens   Every time you react that way   Tomorrow you'll want to forget   Everything you said today   But everytime something reminds you   You play the same old game inside   Any excuse in the book will do   Everything can be justified.      Wrong thinking gets the better of you   It only takes a moment or two   Comes stealin' like a thief in the night   Changes every little thing in sight   Wrong thinking gets the better of you   Better of you. Gets the better of you.      (fade)   Wrong thinking   Wrong thinking            Words and Music By: Joe Egan   Published By: Baby Bun Music Ltd.   Drums/Percussion: Arran Ahmun   Piano/Bass: Pavel Rosak   Guitars: Bryn Haworth   Mandolin: Bryn Haworth   Harpolek: Bryn Haworth   Acoustic Guitars: Rab Noakes / Gerry Rafferty   Vocals: Gerry Rafferty
