Subject: CRD: OBSCURITY KNOCKS - THE TRASHCAN SINATRAS
Obscurity Knocks
INTRO: A
AAlways at the foot of the photograph - Bmthat's me there
Snug as a thug in a Amugshot pose
BmOwner of this corner and not much more
Still theseA days I'm better placedD to get my just reEwards
I'll pound oAut a tune and very soon
I'll have tDoo much to say and a dead stuEpid name
CHORUS
Though I oAught to be learning I feEel like a veteran
Of &qAuot;Oh I like your poetEry but I hate your poems"
ACalendars crumble I'm kEnee deep in numbers
ATurned 21, I've twEist, I'm bust and wrong agaAin
Rubbing shoulders with the sheets till two
Looking at my watch and I'm half-past caring
In the lap of luxury it comes to mind
Is this headboard hard' Am I a lap behind'
But to face doom in a sock-stenched room all by myself
Is the kind of fate I never contemplate
Lots of people would cry though none spring to mind
DKnow what it's like
To sigh at the sight of the first quarter of life'
BmEvery stopped to think and foDund out nothing was there'
EThey laugh to see such fAun
Playing Blind Man's Bluff aBmll by myself D
AAnd they're chanting a line from a nursery rhyme
E"Ba Ba Bleary Eyes - HDave you any idea'"
AThe calendar's clutteEred with dAays that are numEbered
