If...(BBC Evening Session 1998)

歌詞

If you get out before September, Remember that I'm still inside, But I'm dry, I'm dry, And you, when you try to make a difference, You're so different. And then I try, and just die, I die, You know that I need you more than I want ya, But I want ya for all time, So I'm, I guess on the line. It's all that I can do to, sing these stupid songs to you, I give up half my time just, Trying to think up words that rhyme. I ain't getting any younger, But you wouldn't know, So it's on with the show. Sometimes a smoke a drink and a ponder, Can work wonders when you're down, Takes your frown, turns it round, around, And you when you try to make a difference, You're no different than when I try, and just die, I die. And now that your day-dream is forgotten and forgiven, And the world has been saved, be brave. It's all that I can do to, Sing these stupid songs to you, I give up half my time just, Trying to think up words that rhyme, I ain't getting any younger, But you wouldn't know, 'Cause I walk in shadow, And I never ever really show my face, But I'm only ever seen in the right place.
