| Here I stand, in Friday’s clothes
|
| Monday morning and I haven’t been home
|
| The smell of you stays on my hands
|
| It’s time to get a day job
|
| The money’s run out
|
| Got some part time work
|
| For a full time jerk?
|
| Something to somebody
|
| Something to somebody
|
| Birds are wheeling high
|
| Above your head
|
| Going back to sea
|
| Maybe I could be (something to somebody)
|
| Now the storm has passed
|
| Just drift away
|
| It’s a dumb idea
|
| It’s a great ideal to me (something to somebody)
|
| And I tell lies for your protection
|
| I see you, in the colours of a bruise
|
| Fading from the skin but the hurt is tatooed
|
| The way I care tears us apart
|
| Somebody will take care of you
|
| Of that something I’m certain
|
| These lies stick fast, nothing else lasts
|
| When every minute hangs, no one’s waiting on your call
|
| Is that learning?
|
| It doesn’t feel that way at all
|
| Fell the wind blow, down the Portobello Road
|
| Feeling unsteady on my own two feet again
|
| And now I turn like a weather vane
|
| Beg or cheat or borrow, the simplest things I follow
|
| Some things weren’t meant to be, somebody’s not me
|
| Something to somebody
|
| Something to somebody
|
| Birds are wheeling high… |
