the exhibitionist
from the
doss house in the city
to the swank suburban pad
they all say the same thing
when your name gets an airing:
“son, you really could do so much worse”
and from
the campus to the churchyard
from the oil rig to the street
they’re very quick with advice
and that’s all very nice
but i have to admit it’s becoming persuasive
so you
can have it if you want it
and you can have it right now
if you just say the word
there’s a chance you’ll be heard
because i’m always listening now
GOODBYE
INHIBITION!
we’re throwing all caution to the wind
call off the search team and hold the front page
because i’m letting you in
and you’re letting me in
from the
highlands to the cotswolds
from the east end to the wash
they’re all very consistent
yes, in spite of the distance:
“son, you really could do so much worse”
and from
the schmoozer to the boozer
from the actor to the thief
they’re inclined to concur
and i’m inclined to defer
to their greater experience in these matters
so you
can have me if you want me
and you can have me right now
if you just say the word
there’s a good chance you’ll be heard
cos i’m always listening now
