Van Morrison - Ivory Tower

"Ivory Tower" is a song written by Van Morrison and included on his 1986 album, "No Guru, No Method, No Teacher". It was recorded in 1985 on the Mercury Records label. Maybe it's a song written from the perspective of God. Maybe it's just a nice R&B song. Maybe both. I like to think so.

Lyrics:

[Chorus:]

When you come down

From your Ivory Tower

You will see how it really must be

To be like me to see like me

To feel like me

Take a look at me I'm a poor man's son

I never did no harm to no one

You've got money in the bank

And I don't have none

When you come down etc etc....

[Bridge:]

You can see through

Your rose coloured glasses

In a world that seems

like glamour to you

You've got opinions and judgements about

All kind of things

That you don't know anything about

Don't you know the price that I have to pay

Just to do everything I have to do

Do you think that there's nothing to it

You should try it sometime

[Chorus]
