NOVEMBER
Okay so you′re at this party right
And the people at the party think
It's the best party in the world ever
Only it isn′t
And so you look around the room
To see if there is anybody you know
Because the person you came with
Don't want to seen spending the entire evening with you
And has gone to share a beer and a line or two
With someone you barely knew
Who might have employed you
If you'd known how to amuse him
And discretely flattering
And so still looking for a way in
You spot the the man with the marble jaw
The man with the chiselled chin
The man whom razors were made for
And he′s single and so are you
And he′s interested in the same girl as you
Only he's good looking
And so you let resignation set in
You let the man with the marble jaw
The man with the chiselled chin
The man whom razors were made for
Talk to the girl before you were meant for
And he′s from advertising land
Or that's what he claims to be
But my guess is that
He sleeps around professionally
And it isn′t long before he take the girl of your dreams home
Shortly after she gives him that look
You know that look that you sometimes see
Across a room at a party
In a bar in a cafe
Where he's talking and talking
And she′s just listening and staring at his mouth and chin
And from deep down within
Something screams inside and say
God I want to be like him
But you know that when he wakes up in the morning
Stumbles down the stairs picks the razor from the shelf
And looks in the mirror
He says to himself
Something in
Ooh ooh ooh ooh
The sadness of your life
Comes to me comes to me
I was looking through your eyes
But you weren't smiling
You have to do
Ooh ooh ooh ooh
The best that you can do
Fight the forces of fate
That line up against you
And dreamers do
Ooh ooh ooh ooh
The best that they can do
To make life better for fellow man
But fellow man don't understand
Dreamers do what dreamers can
But often plans come to nothing
Are you looking for an executive apartment
If so look no further
Stunning two double bedrooms with terrace
Excellent security
Lift and all mod cons
Hurry or this will go (you could be happy here)
Stylish sharp contemporary
This stunning new build development
Of just ten one two and three bedroom apartments
Includes a roof terrace or garden to every apartment
Creating your very own private haven
In the city
Something in
Ooh ooh ooh ooh
The sadness of your life
Comes to me comes to me
I was looking through your eyes
But you weren′t smiling
You have to do
Ooh ooh ooh ooh
The best that you can do
Fight the forces of fate
That line up against you
And dreamers do
Ooh ooh ooh ooh
What dreamers can
To make life better for fellow man
But fellow man don′t understand
Dreamers do what dreamers can
But often plans come to nothing
You were never quite sure if there was a god
But your friends swore there was
And now they've come round to your way of thinking
You feel there′s something missing
And there's not a single thing in science fiction that isn′t possible
And this doesn't bother you
(Where fiction goes science follows)
And there′s not a single sight or sound that can't be seen or heard
And this doesn't bother you
So I′m sitting at the airport cafe
With my biscuits and hot coffee
And I′m watching people
And it's beautiful cinematic and I′m enjoying it
And I place my hand on the table
But the biscuit crumbs dig into my palm
And it's annoying
So I brush them off the table
And I put my hand back down
But the biscuit crumbs are still there
Still stuck to the skin
Still digging in
So I brush them off my hand with my other hand
And I lean back in my chair
Put my hands back down on the table
With my biscuits and hot coffee
I′m at the airport cafe
Watching people
And it's beautiful and it′s cinematic
But the moment's gone
