A Little Man And A House

Leaving early, just before the hour

A few moments won't make any difference

Not to me, anyway

The early bird catches the worm

I don't really want to go in tomorrow

The man will tell me off for leaving early yesterday

Close your eyes dear, never mind

And there's voices inside me

They're screaming and telling me

"That's the way we all go"

There's thousands of people just like me all over

But that's the way we all go

What can I do, when everyones been so helpful

How can I have the right to say

I'm different to you?

(Oh)

But I'm lost not for words or for kindness or sympathy

That's the way we all go

And if you're bigger you fall a bit harder

But that's the way we all go

There's a pain in my side it's a lesson I learned from a while ago

(That's the way we all go)

I'll be screaming inside I'll be biting my nails but it won't show

(That's the way we all go)

There's a knock at my door as I fall to the floor but I still don't know

(That's the way we all go)

That the people outside shed a tear for my pride but they still won't go

(That's the way we all go)

Why should I think I'm alone the whole factory thinks

That's the way we all go

Then there's Washington, Tokyo, New York and Moscow

But that's the way we all go

They're all crying and arguing down the telephone

But that's the way we all go

Then there's me standing here with my whole life to spare

That's the way we all go

That's the way we all go

That's the way we all go

That's the way we all go

That's the way we all go

It's easier when you know how obviously but that's how it goes

(That's the way we all go)

Look at me now I know something that you don't 'cos

That's the way we all go

The turning wheel reeks of the whale and the whaler

But that's the way we all go

The early bird catches the worm does the worm think that

That's the way we all go?
