Keeping The Curtains Closed

He's been waiting for the bus to come, been waiting there since 3

And when it comes around he will be as happy as a boy can be

But people worry about each other

Some even worry about me

And so he stands at the busstop at the back of the line

And there's too many people and there's not enough time

So now he's keeping the curtains closed

He was waiting for the revolution to rumble down his street

'Coz when it came around

He was sure that we'd all get enough to eat

But at the busstop he's still on that line

And there's too many people and there's not enough time

So he's keeping the curtains closed

And there's no point asking what went wrong

Nothing as far as I can see

He just stood there at the busstop at the back of the line

And there were too many people; there was not enough time

And now he's keeping the curtains closed

He's just keeping the curtains closed

He's just keeping the curtains closed

He's just keeping the curtains closed
