You are a social embarrassment |
|
You're a waiter in the queues |
|
At school they were teaching you |
|
To fit into a place |
|
With the thirty-five others too |
|
The only consensus of opinion was |
|
For a rain mac or a bowler hat |
|
You are alone in your bedsitter |
|
With a bed that was made for two |
|
And they couldn't work it out |
|
She was insecure |
|
And could not see it through |
|
So she's hitched off to Morocco on her own |
|
Looking for something |
|
Looking for something new |
|
How could they hear you |
|
The music was too loud |
|
And was only telling tales? |
|
Now you cannot talk to your father |
|
The years have passed and you've drifted |
|
And your brother's joined the Navy |
|
He thought he had nothing to lose |
|
I will play the music louder |
|
And let it go through |
|
Let it go through to your head |
|
How could they hear you |
|
The music was too loud |
|
And was only telling tales? |
