Always the days are the same
Monotonous rut and routine
Is it his fate to O.D.
On biscuits and T.V.
Remembering someone at school
Mammouth mouth was his name
"What more could there possibly be,"
He said,
"For someone such as you
Such an empty-headed fool
You see"
He sits there waiting patiently
He sits there waiting patiently
Not knowing what he waits for
Uncertain what he wants for sure
Not knowing what he waits for
The one who yearns for something more
She's annoyed and she doesn't know why
By the neighour who's fixing his car
He's spent so many hours underneath it now
The b***** thing should fly
Their greetings float through her mind
Like music you hear in a lift
Frustrations and feelings she can't control
Wake within her now
They churn within her now...
She sits there waiting patiently
She sits there waiting patiently
Not knowing what she waits for
Uncertain what she wants for sure
Not knowing what she waits for
The one who yearns for something more
The Prudential man is here
Oh please, just go away
The bible-basher's here
Thanks but not today
Brown envelopes appear
Throw them all away
So many bills to pay
Every day the same
I don't want to know, I don't want to know
Oh no no...
I don't want to know...
Oh, no no no no no no,
Just go away and leave me alone
Oh, no no no no no no,
Just go away and leave me alone
Lost and alone
A picture of England
I've seen it so often
Haven't you?
