In life we need someone to fall back onto
But when those options are gone
With no arms that are strong
We just keep falling
'Till crowd's do mass
To honor our untimely pass
On a Sunday all crowded on the grass
I wasn't ill just sick of it all
There's only so long you can stand so tall
And I'm sorry you were my last phonecall

I still love you though,
As forever,
I now fall

Sorry. Did I say man?

I meant men.

Men never grow up.

He believes that one day we'll all travel in super speedy cars
Hitting speeds that'll burn up the roads tar
That we'll fly from country to country among the night skies
Landing a thousand miles away for American burger and fries
We'll speak through glass screens that he once saw on Thunderbirds
Have portable speaking devices invented scientists but used by nerds
Will break the speed of sound and stop fighting with swords
Only he dreamt this up now asleep on Concorde
What ever you believe just think it to come true
Because whatever you believe in then that dream is in you.

We'd rock up ready for the night
Whatever came our way
A beer
A bird
A fight

Not a care to what happened the next day
Hangovers were for the others
See me
See you
Lets see away the next few

Now I can't be bothered to even give you a call
3 pints to the wind and over I now fall
A lightweight
A has been
A seen the seens of my lifes movies scenes

Sat in my home just watching the setting sun
You don't know what youve got until it's gone
A little sigh
A smile of goodbye
A thought on life and how it just passed me by

Those Days

Don't blame me
It just all comes this way
I order
I pass the message
I hold the parcels for you
Batter me with it's all your fault
It's not
They make the required
I take the phonecall
Three weeks later, I get the abuse
Where is it?
Who did you speak too?
If I don't get it tomorrow...?

Hey guys, I just take the phonecall
I don't work in their factory and deliver
We do what we will and whenever we can
Because at the end of the day
I am just,
The Middle Man

Will that day come
The one that changes everything
From being broke to the love of the land
Married my sweetheart
Now every stranger wants my hand
Would I leave my friends I have known for so long
Who helped me through all troubled times
To be the man they all now love just living out in Tuscon, Arizona
If those 6 numbers rolled in tonight, I'd have to make decisions
The only way I'd make that money would be with a gun,
HOLD UP! HANDS UP!
Right, thats me off to prison
But if those ***** did land in line
I'd be one happy chap
Smiling as those bells did chime
Thinking what I would buy next
That house, that car, dinner served by my own private chef
I'll watch them spin again tonight
All rolling with bated breath

One word, I told you not to say it
It's hurt
It's pain
It's it
This cannot go on with any purpose to it's relevance
I'm sorry but you have always known not to mention
It's tension
It's hold
But you had to be bold
I am so sorry
The love of my life,

But Thats Where it Ends.
