Only a short moment ago While I was smoking a cigarette Now I'm in here without a ballpaper xxxxxxxxxxx Now, in my room, I'm fairly bored But I can't be xxx to... At the week-end I wrote down All the girls I could think of I'm of an arbitrary nature Not to sail slower than a snail And all at once, the weekend office Died in a cheer - I don't know where But when it did, I saw you smile As you closed the office file How did you know I saw you? How could you see, did you feel me? I can still remember The day our baby was conceived ...It seems like yesterday I need you more than ever now It's nearly four, and you want more Tell me how would you feel? Would you feel quite so real If you'd said 'Not today... Later'? Over, up, over, up - down... Down, over, up, over - up... Living is easy, here in New York State Yeah, but I wish I... were home again... in West Dulwich... There are places and people that I'm so glad to have seen Yeah, but I miss the trees, and I wish I were back home again The sun shines here all summer Its nice cause you can get quite brown Yeah, but I miss the rain - ticky-tacky-ticky And I wish I, wish I were home again - I wish, a dish, I wish-a-dish Living is easy here in New York State Ah, but I wish I... were home again People drink each others' wine Plough each others' earth Hoping for companionship Looking for rebirth Plant seeds in fresher plots of earth Bound up in concepts and dreams And fears of worse things to come They never do They stay the same Music-making still Performs the normal functions Background noise for people Eating and thinking and talking and drinking But that's all right with us Don't think that we're complaining After all it's only leisure time, isn't it? Now I can love her eyes - see how the time flies She's learning to hate, but it's just too late for me It was the same with her mum She just wasn't enough for me (Well, who's complaining?) But before this ceiling cries Remember that everybody dies! You can almost see her eyes, is it me she despises or you? You're awfully nice to me, and I'm sure you can see what her game is... She sees you in her place, just as if it's a race And you're winning, winning She just can't understand that for me everything's just beginning... So before the penguin flies Remember that everybody lies... stands... runs... rushes... walks... breathes... eats... needs... falls, and dies! (Whoopee... It's all very true, isn't it... my words?)
