My Amade-to-measure suit is weighing Ddown upon me Ashoulders, The Dtrousers and the strait-jacket are Aworn. They Dsay they should fit better as they Aget a little older, But now they've grown old, and I've just found my Eform.
SunAset's on the City, so the DCity's on its Away To tDiny tots, and time for pots of Atea, And tDhough I'm hoarse with talking I've not Asaid a thing all day That you could not have said as well as meE.
Chorus: E D (walking bass) A So today may be the day when I buy myself a surfing-board,
Throw Dsnowballs at the Ateacher, or fall upon my Esword, But I Dwould not like to hurt you, or bleed upon your floor, So I'll Asee you when I Esee you, if I'm Athere.
ASigns stuck to the station walls Dadhere to the opiAnion That DI should not be standing here at Aall. I Dshould be on a sailing-ship, or flying to LondAinium At prices quite extravagantly smEall, ButA I await a train that's late to dDo my share ofA travelling: I Dsee the world along the North Shore Aline. The Dtangled string that is me life's been Afar too long unravelling, And there's new loose ends appearing all the tiEme.
E D (walking bass) A So today may be the day when I buy myself a surfing-board,
Throw Dsnowballs at the Ateacher, or fall upon my Esword, But I Dwould not like to hurt you, or bleed upon your floor, So I'll Asee you when I Esee you, if I'm Athere.
Could Abe I'm old, for I've caught a cold, or Dsomething just as aAwful, But DI feel a dreadful need to kick a caAt, To pDull rude faces, say bad words, do sAomething quite unlawful, But what then would I do when I'd done thEat? MayAbe I would touch the sky, or Ddrink a pint of ACider, DMaybe I would try to fly a Akite, DMaybe I'd pretend that I was Asitting right beside her, And pretend that childrens' days don't end at niEght.
E D (walking bass) A So today may be the day when I buy myself a surfing-board,
Throw Dsnowballs at the Ateacher, or fall upon my Esword, But I Dwould not like to hurt you, or bleed upon your floor, So I'll Asee you when I Esee you, if I'm Athere.
