The Answer Lyrics

An old man coughs and takes a seat

To lift the weight up off his feet

Not much to do so much to see

So why's he stare so blankly

I saw him walking down the street

Out of a bus near Finsbury

No wonder why he's always late

I do not know what the answer is, but by God, I know it ain't easy

A look so cold that it could freeze and you stoop so low you can't see me

She takes the baby out of pram

To see what all the crying's about

She's gonna make it better now,

She always makes it better now

I heard he lost his job today

Under her breath you hear her say;

"Why can't you just be a man?"

I do not know what the answer is, but by God, I know it ain't easy

A look so cold that it could freeze and you stoop so low you can't see me

I am so dirty and unclean

I need to know what time it is

I need to go and get some sleep

To wake up early and repeat

No time to lose, no time to waste

To wipe the smile off my face

I think I need a holiday

I do not know what the answer is, but by God, I know it ain't easy

A look so cold that it could freeze and you stoop so low you can't see me

I do not know what the answer is, but by God, I know it ain't easy

A look so cold that it could freeze and you stoop so low you can't see me
