Verse 1
I walk by the water and
Head for your house
Though I know that you'll be out
In some dirty city barI stand on your street
And I stare at your room
And the shadows play and move
And your brother comes out with a batChorus
Sayin that
You might be with your sister in Paris
On the Rue turnau
Wearing Marline Ditrik glasses
Where we made that bet
That bet I knew you'd win for sure
When you where sick on the floor
Verse 2
The denim is ripped
Beneath the patch
It's an itch I can never scratch
Now it's so far gone the pastThe fines I
Having trouble to contest
With the library book you kept
The one that sent your head so far westChorus
Far far away
In those continental cities
Where they get in a race
To see who can build the tallest buildingsWhere you went for some space
And wound up
With a slightly redder face
And a pain in your gut
Verse 3
I turn on the TV
And I see there your face
And in it is not one trace
Of that old brown bowl of laceAnd that bowl of lace
Is sat beside the gas bar fire
Where you probably laid
Eating ice cream chocolate wallaimsThat your mother brought home
From the freezer store
On the old kent road
She too had enoughAnd that look on your face
That you'd throw accross the dinner table
In the middle of grace
With your fathers eye closed shut tightAnd it happend like that
Every damn night
That I had to come
To your houseWell tell Charles Okief
That I don't want to go to Paris
It's sunnier hear
And I'm happier in this loveless marriageWith the girl from the pru
And your father and your sister
And your mother too
And not forgeting you
