Lyrics Not So Tall - The Selecter

Not So Tall

I took a walk along a yellow street where purple faces said it all
I wasn’t looking for no sympathy
An opportunity to make me small
Then my skin began to crawl
I took a bus up where the air is green
And all year round the sky is blue
The people all pretend that they can’t see
The mediocrity of what they do believing what they say is true
Oh, it’s such a silly dream but you’re not so tall
Oh, it’s such a simple thing
But you’re not so tall
Oh no, you’re not so tall at all
I took a stroll along a red-brick road
Where baby’s cheeks are shiny brown
I heard the crack of an almighty load
The curiosity of that fat sound brought all the children running round
Oh, it’s such a silly dream but you’re not so tall
Oh, it’s such a simple thing
But you’re not so tall
Oh no, you’re not so tall at all
When I think of the good vibrations
All the things I like to do
Then I get a strange sensation
Why is everyone so cruel?
Oh, you’re not so tall, oh no, you’re not so tall
One day, some day
