Frobisher Drive

I woke up late this morning
That's the second lime this week
If my boss finds out i'm late again
He's sure to make me leave
Is there no end to my worries
I'm forever wondering

My girlfriend's name is susan
We got engaged last march
Was killed while getting off a bus
At the top of marble arch
What did she do to deserve this
I'm forever wondering

Let me say that right away
Whatever you might think
I am not about to lose my mind
Although i might feel that way inclined
I'm not the type, no head for heights

You think you got your troubles
Well just take a look at mine
Must be the first pedestrian
To receive a parking fine
Is there no-end to my worries
I'm forever wondering

How can you sit there and say things like
Boy you're looking good
When i feel like something the cat brought in
Not that i don't like cats why think
Yours would look great on a curry plate

I've got this slight infection
Thought was in my head
When i asked my doctor what it was
He said " i don't know myself"
Is there no end to my worries
I'm forever wondering

When you read about somebody special
Who has met an untimely end
Although you didn't even know them personally
Feels like you've lost a friend

And to all the cynics who think lennon
Only cared about what he could spend
I say to hell with your money fixations
Feels like we've lost a friend

And when i die as i must do
I know it's an awful thing to talk about
And i'd give anything for it never to be true
What a way to make a living digging graves
Still you'd never need to fear being made redundant that way

And for those of you who think that presley
Only cared about what he could spend
Remember that without him might have been no lennon
Feels like we've lost a friend

And when i die as i must do
Know it's an awful thing to talk about
And i'd give anything for it never to be true
If it's any consolation money buys
Only material things no way can it extend your life

When you read about somebody special
Who has met an untimely end
Although you didn't even know them personally
Feels like you've lost a friend

If i start with the chorus as i progress with this song
Even though it's arse over backwards
Sometimes it pays to be wrong

When your life is in a turmoil be it sad or incomplete
No use crying over spilt milk
Think like a cat and be pleased

This is the verse this is the sound of my life
And i for one can't take it
Funny how things just go from bad to worse
It never stops until it really hurts

When your life is in a quandary be it sad or incomplete
Think of those worse off than you perhaps
Might give some kind of relief

This is the verse this is the sound of my life
And i for one can't take it
You know she's not she's all cracked up to be
You're better off without her wait and see

If i start with the chorus as i progress with this song
Even though it's arse over backwards
Sometimes it pays to be wrong

If you don't mind me saying so then why do you object
Are you frightened of something you'll hear
Have you no inhibitions are you basically shy
And not what you appear
Got a good mind to tell you what a bad boy i've been
But i'm not sure you'll be all that pleased
Funny how being unfaithful often makes us realise
How foolish we can be
Here's to the child who applied for a divorce
Said his parents were not up to much
Once upon a time used to be children
Now there are just adults

And i don't trust men with earrings in their ears
Or women who look like they're men
I trust only those who are true to themselves
And god knows there aren't too
Many of them

In a manner of speaking reminiscent of greek
You could say "hold my heart" and i will
If it pleases you no doubt i'll gladly oblige
It would be a thrill
You ask for directions you say it's a road
With houses on either side
Well i don't want to shatter your illusions
But i'm afraid that i'm gonna have to try

And i don't trust men with earrings in their ears
Or women who look like they're men
I trust only those who are true to themselves
And god knows there aren't too
Many of them

Here's to the child who applied for a divorce
Said his parents were driving him nuts
Once upon a time used to be children
Now there are just adults

And i don't trust men with earrings in their ears
Or women who look like they're men
I trust only those who are true to themselves
And god knows there aren't too
Many of them
