Subject: CRD: OBSCURITY KNOCKS - THE TRASHCAN SINATRAS
Obscurity Knocks
INTRO: C
CAlways at the foot of the photograph - Dmthat's me there
Snug as a thug in a Cmugshot pose
DmOwner of this corner and not much more
Still theseC days I'm better placedF to get my just reGwards
I'll pound oCut a tune and very soon
I'll have tFoo much to say and a dead stuGpid name
CHORUS
Though I oCught to be learning I feGel like a veteran
Of &qCuot;Oh I like your poetGry but I hate your poems"
CCalendars crumble I'm kGnee deep in numbers
CTurned 21, I've twGist, I'm bust and wrong agaCin
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
FKnow what it's like
To sigh at the sight of the first quarter of life?
DmEvery stopped to think and foFund out nothing was there?
GThey laugh to see such fCun
Playing Blind Man's Bluff aDmll by myself F
CAnd they're chanting a line from a nursery rhyme
G"Ba Ba Bleary Eyes - HFave you any idea?"
CThe calendar's clutteGred with dCays that are numGbered
