|
A butterfly in the sitting room |
|
Sudden sneezing overhead |
|
Dragonflies skim the swimming pool |
|
The dog is barking to be fed |
|
And it won't be long |
|
'Til we get the news |
|
Though I'll soon be gone |
|
I'll be the sucker who's |
|
Always had the most to lose |
|
When we get this news |
|
Pheasants scatter, rabbits flee |
|
A car departing in the rain |
|
On a flightpath, a 747 |
|
Round the bend, a rocky lane |
|
And it won't be long |
|
'Til we get the news |
|
Though I could be wrong |
|
I bet I'm the one who's left |
|
With the tears and the telephoned threats |
|
Who'll always be the most in debt |
|
When we get the news |
|
Baby, baby, did I ever tell you |
|
That I worked out where I went wrong? |
