Lyrics
Who's Who
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
When we meet again
Just refer to me as "back then"
Or pretend not to recall
Ever knowing me at all
Or hanging round my door
Begging for more
When you begin
Playing to win
That's when the losers rush in
And I...
I got better than you
At jumping the queue
To get closer to seeing
Who's who...
A man without a home
Is never alone
Well just look at what he's got
The whole parking lot
In those unsheltered places
There's always other places
Take mine for a start
It's like a modern work of art
Disturbing and lacking in heart
And I...
I got better than you
At jumping the queue
To get closer to seeing
Who's who...
It must be so wonderful
Being you every day
Oh, it must be so wonderful
Always gettin' your way
A common dialogue
Is the best thing that you'll get
From the woman you call wife
So try not to forget
To tear out and burn
The things you unlearn
Your future exists
In her shopping list
Please
Call your office
And I...
I got better than you
At jumping the queue
To get closer to seeing
Who's who...
I got better than you
I got better than you
