Melancholy Maybe

B.A.D. Big Audio Dynamite


See that guy over there 
He`s as crazy as hell 
Spending his time inside a wishing well 
Gazing at water 
Saying what if I... 
And he`s still there gazing in six months time 
He`s got a girl that`s crazy `bout him 
But her heart is locked away from him 
He doesn`t realise that he holds the key 
To unlock the pain and set them free 

But that`s alright 
A little melancholy maybe 
That`s a part of you see 
On a one way ticket 
Headed to nowheresville 
I know `cause I`ve already been 

Heard about Sister Elly was a party girl 
Now she`ve seen the troubles of a future world 
Tellin` everybody when the bombs gonna drop 
And she`s packed in a job at the corner shop 
She joined the church 
Help the get away 
Now she sees the Lord every time she prays 
Asks for forgiveness for all our sins 
But when she sits down she doesn`t know where to begin 

But that`s alright 
A little melancholy maybe 
That`s a part of you see 
On a one way ticket 
Headed for nowheresville 
I know `cause I`ve already been 

A little bit of la la la la love 
A little bit of la la la la love 
A little bit of la la la la love 

Where d`ya think you`re goin` 
You ain`t goin` nowhere 
Ain`t no way of knowing 
If you`ve not been there 

But that`s alright 
A little melancholy maybe 
That`s a part of you see 
On a one way ticket 
Headed for nowhere 
I know `cause I`ve already been 

Thats alright 
A little melancholy maybe 
That`s a part of you see 
On a one way ticket 
Headed for nowheresville 
I know `cause I`ve already been 
Yeah I know `cause I`ve already been 
I said I know `cause I`ve already been
