Only my thoughts Lyrics

Only my thoughts

Something for a rainy day

I looked into the future but all that I could see

Were these two sunken eyes looking back at me

They said you've seen and done it all I couldn't disagree

Seems that those troubled eyes knew much more than me

Thinking way back how I might get my fix

Nothing in my pocket but twenty number six

The world should open up for me and let me walk right in

But it wasn't gonna happen for me 'cos only those that dare will win

Over the road I'm heading and under the railway bridge

Knowing there's a couple of cans tucked away inside the fridge

Saturday night TV these days is patronising and numbingly sickly

And add to this it seems each year that Christmas comes around too quickly

Then every new task that I do now seems to bring in a brand new pain

And yesterday's hopes and plans only get washed away down the drain

And watch the BBC weather girl as she's standing there a bare-faced liar

What's it all comes down to these days is this the stuff to which you all aspire

You find you're no longer looking for that buried long lost treasure

Soon as you realise the simple things bring in so much pleasure

And there's no need to hurry because nothing important moves fast

And when push comes to shove who really cares if you're first or if you're last

Over the road I'm heading and under the railway bridge

Knowing there's a couple of cans tucked away inside the fridge

Saturday night TV these days is patronising and numbingly sickly

And add to this it seems each year that Christmas comes around too quickly

Then every new task that I do now seems to bring in a brand new pain

And yesterday's hopes and plans only get washed away down the drain

And see the BBC weather girl she's standing there lying again

And what's a man supposed to do when he's slowly built up so much disdain

Whether over the moon or well under the cosh

Always hoping that your problems come out in the wash

Life is simply cool so they'll want you to believe

It's all before your eyes with nothing hidden up a sleeve
