Stand Amazed

I do stand amazed, sitting at my front door

How do you stand when you’re sitting

At your back door watching the world go by

Watching the traffic one by one

Reading the number plates just like a copper

It just keeps passing on by

Stand amazed, I stand amazed

Front back sideways I'm amazed

Just amazed, I stand amazed

Every single day in the kitchen doing the washing up

I stand amazed, I just stand amazed

(Standing, standing)

Siitting on my front porch holding my little torch just wondering why

Sometimes I feel so bad watching traffic I start to cry

Just like a little lame dog

Sitting on my back porch got no torch to carry just got a little old dog

Who don’t even know my name, he don’t even know my name

(Standing)

He don’t know my name

My very own dog don’t know my name

I got a little dog, call him, stand up

I stand amazed at the panapoly of beauty

I stand amazed at the cops who do their duty

Yes I do, watching the traffic one by one

Got a big one, got a red one, got a fast one

Might sit down, no, throw me a cushion

Might sit down, show me a chair, I might sit down

Watching every day, on my front porch

Have to move to the back

Get no rest and the dog don’t know me name

All come down and watching all get up

Watching it all go down

One car, a dog that doesn’t know my name

Tried to tell him, still don’t know my name

So I just stand amazed

Why does my dog not know my name, I stand amazed

Why does that person never come home, I stand amazed

The dog that doesn’t know my name

There he is, dancing, doesn’t know my name

At the front porch again, standing amazed

Watching the world go by

There’s a copper

Looks like people on the streets I know, there’s a copper

Stand amazed, stand amazed, the dog don’t know my name
