Suffer In Silence

I bought some pumps at gemima's,

But they were rubbing and making me sore,

I just carried on smiling,

'cause everybody dug the shoes that i wore,

I can suffer in silence,

If it means that i can blend with the crowd,

Suckin' suffer in silence,

But i wouldn't want to say it too loud.

They'll bill keen down at the bistro,

And i was broke it was the end of the week,

I just had coffee whilst you stuffed your face,

We went dutch without so much as a squeak,

I can suffer in silence,

Suck it in and bottle it up,

Suckin' suffer in silence,

As you keep me staring aghast.

Every night i retire to the same chair,

By a phone that's attached to the wall,

And i hope that no one will call,

I'm not waiting for an invitation,

I'm not waiting for horrible news,

But the other shoe to fall.

I can suffer in silence,

If it means that i can blend with the crowd,

Suckin' suffer in silence,

But i wouldn't want to say it too loud.

Every night i retire to the same chair,

By a phone that's attached to the wall,

And i hope that no one will call,

I'm not waiting for an invitation,

I'm not waiting for horrible news,

Just the other shoe to fall.
