I’m not a doctor or engineer
Wouldn’t be of much use in the case of an emergency
Been thinking lots about my future, shaped and planned
The funeral won’t cost much, I’m a subtle man, you’ll see
I’ve got this pain in the tip of my elbows
Don’t know why, I’ve not been doing anything of note
But if you’ve got the name and number of an acupuncturist
I’d like to be stabbed and pricked and then told to try and stay afloat
And then she said to me….
“Hey boy, don’t be so coy! You’re awful complex, and well, I like it simple.”
Now, would it be so bad if I held you back, would you smile and laugh, or frown? (Would I smile and laugh or drown?)
I’m not a sportsman or politician
Just in case you’ve been wondering why I don’t make you shout and jeer
Do you think I should lobby for a better working wage?
Or is it too late and too dark and too cold to electioneer
